When you trade CFDs, you’ll encounter something called the
spread. This fee is important because it affects the price you pay for the asset. The spread is the
difference between the Buy and Sell prices of an asset - meaning the price you see is slightly higher than the actual market value if you’re buying, or slightly lower if you’re selling.
Spread fees exist on all trading platforms and can vary depending on the asset and the time of day. This is influenced by market liquidity and volatility - basically, how many people are trading that asset at any moment.
The good news? Our spreads are among the most competitive in the industry. You can view the spreads for every CFD instrument over a set period on our
Contracts Specifications page.
