Commission on shares & ETFs
There's a commission charge on share and exchange-traded fund (ETF) CFDs when you enter and exit a trade, which varies depending on the country where the specific share originates. This charge doesn’t apply to UK and European shares, which you can trade commission-free (except for Greek shares).
COUNTRY | COMMISSION | MIN COMMISSION |
|---|---|---|
UK | 0% | N/A |
Greece | 0.45% | EUR 20.00 |
Rest of Europe | 0% | N/A |
Canada | CAD 0.02 | CAD 10.00 |
US | USD 0.02 | USD 10.00 |
Overnight holding costs
At the end of each day (10pm UK time/5pm EST), positions held in your account may be subject to a charge called a 'holding cost'. The holding cost can be positive or negative, depending on the direction of your trade and the applicable holding rate.

Other costs & considerations
There are some other potential costs you may incur, depending on whether you spread bet or trade CFDs, the instrument and asset-class you're trading on, and how you trade.
These include guaranteed stop-loss orders, an FX conversion fee, market data fees, rollover costs on forward instruments, and account inactivity fees.
You can find more information in our Costs Disclosure document.
You can add a guaranteed stop-loss order (GSLO) to your trade for a premium, which guarantees to close you out at your specified level, regardless of market volatility or gapping. If the GSLO is not triggered, we'll refund 100% of the original GSLO charge. The charge, or 'premium', is calculated by multiplying the premium rate by the bet size.
If you want to trade or view our price data for certain share CFD instruments, you will need to activate the relevant market data subscription. Monthly subscription charges may apply depending on your market data classification and the type of account you hold.
You can roll forward positions over to keep a trade open beyond its expiry date. When you roll a forward position to the next contract, your profit or loss is realised and you enter the new trade at the mid-price, saving 50% on the spread cost.
There's a monthly charge of £10 (the amount depends on your account currency) on dormant accounts, but no deduction is made if there are no funds in the account. An account is considered dormant if there has been no trading activity for a continuous period of one year.
