Dividends on CFDs

When you trade on stocks or indices with us and there is a dividend payable on the underlying asset, one of the 2 scenarios below may happen: Any long positions held on the applicable stock and/or spot index at the ex-div* date will receive a dividend (minus the withholding tax**) in the form of a cash adjustment (deposit, paid into your Trading Account). Any short positions held on the applicable stock and/or spot index at the ex-div date will be charged the dividend amount in the form of a cash adjustment (withdrawal, deducted from your Trading Account). *ex-div date describes a stock that is trading without the value of the next dividend payment. The ex-dividend date or “ex-date” is the day the stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend payment. Typically, the ex-dividend date for a stock is one business day before the record date, meaning that an investor who buys the stock on its ex-dividend date or later will not be eligible to receive the declared dividend. Rather, the dividend payment is made to whoever owned the stock the day before the ex-dividend date. **Withholding tax is a levy deducted from dividends in most underlying markets. The deduction varies depending on the underlying market, but it’s often reduced to

What is a Trailing Stop?

A Trailing Stop is essentially a Stop Loss that automatically gets modified (changes the SL price) as the market price rises for Buy Orders or decreases for Sell Orders. The way it works is simpler than it probably sounds. Let’s assume that the price of EURUSD is 1.20010 and that you opened a Buy Order at that price. Adding a Trailing Stop of 10 Points will automatically add a SL on your position at 1.20010 once the market reaches the level of 1.20020 (1.20020 – 1.20010) = 10 points or 1 pip If the market goes even higher at 1.20030 then the SL will automatically be modified at 1.20020 and so on. While the market drops, the SL will not adjust or readjust itself. That only happens while the market is moving at your order’s direction. To place a trailing stop, right-click on the open position and select ‘Trailing Stop’, and then specify the required level for the trailing

What does the letter after the CFD (Futures) symbol mean?

Since CFD Futures are derivative contracts based on the Futures market, they carry some of the same characteristics, such as expiry or rollover dates. Each letter after the CFD symbol corresponds to a rollover or expiry month. So, based on the CFD in question, the months can be consecutive or periodic. For example, the symbol for Crude Light with December 2019 expiry is CL.Z9. – Energy CFDs expire monthly. On the other hand, the symbol for Dow Jones with March 2020 expiry is DJ.H20. – Index CFDs expire quarterly. You can check the full list of the CFDs we offer and their contract specifications,

What is the difference between Leverage and Margin requirement?

Leverage and Margin are similar in nature but state a different point of view. Leverage intends to show someone’s Buying power with a given amount of Funds, while Margin states the Funds needed to open or sustain a position open. Leverage – Example: With a 1:100 Leverage and 1,000 USD in your balance, you can open a trade with a size of 100 times bigger than your balance. In that case, you’re able to open a trade of 100,000 USD. Margin – Example: Margin is the amount needed in your balance to open a trade of a given Size. So, if you want to open a trade of 100,000 USD with a margin requirement of 1%, you then need to have at least 1,000 USD in your balance. Margin is stated as a percentage while Leverage is stated as a ratio, but they basically show the same thing. Leverage Margin 1:500 0.2% 1:200 0.5% 1:100 1% 1:50 2% 1:30 3.33% 1:10

What is the Spread and how does it affect my trade?

Spread is basically the difference between the ‘Buy’ Price and the ‘Sell’ Price. When a trader opens a trade at a specific price, he/she will be immediately in a losing position. This is due to the Spread. Buy Price: ASK Price Sell Price: BID Price Even at the Bank, where you intend to give 2,000 USD to get the equivalent amount in EUR, you must pay the Spread. This is clearly visible, by trying a second later, to exchange the EUR amount back to USD. You will realize that the amount you will get back from the real money exchange, is definitely less than 2,000 USD. With OneRoyal, you can enjoy very competitive
