† Tick Factor = the price increment representing 1 whole trading unit, by which P&L and both initial and variation margin is calculated. For non-FX CFDs, the Notional Value of your underlying transaction is Price * Number of CFDs/Tick Factor.

Finance Adjustments

All finance adjustments for open positions in cash indices are carried out at or after 17:00 ET. Finance adjustments are not made on open positions on CFD futures markets.

As you hold a position overnight (i.e. after 17:00 ET), a finance adjustment is made to your account. This is calculated as follows:

f = (v * r) / d

where
f = daily financing charge
v = notional value of underlying index calculated based on closing price as determined by GFT
r = relevant interest rate, PLUS 250 basis points for long positions, MINUS 250 basis points for short positions, e.g. (0.50% + 2.50%) = 3.00%
d = number of days, i.e. we use 365 days for indices with denominated currency of GBP or AUD. Otherwise, we use 360 days.
(Notional value = Price * Number of CFDs/Tick Factor)

Long (buy) trade positions are debited the daily financing charge
Short (sell) positions are credited the daily financing charge

Dividends

Dividend adjustments to cash index CFD trades apply as follows:

Buy trades are credited with (number of points by which the index concerned has been adjusted x trade size).

Sell trades are debited with (number of points by which the index concerned has been adjusted x trade size).

Minimum / Maximum Trade Sizes

Maximum trading sizes vary according to underlying liquidity, market conditions and whether the underlying market is classed as being quoted by GFT Global Markets as "out of hours", i.e. outside of regular trading hours.

The market information sheets indicate the usual minimum and maximum trading sizes in GBP; currency equivalents apply for non-GBP accounts, or when trading on markets denominated in a currency other than GBP.

Restrictions may be applied to maximum trade sizes whether opening or closing.

The lot size of the corresponding underlying market is provided for your information, as a guide to minimum market trading size.

When you trade CFDs you are always trading the in "base" currency of the underlying market. E.g. if you trade a US share, you are trading in US dollars per one cent movement.
