Cost mechanics
What you pay on an index CFD trade
Four mechanics on every index CFD position. Spread tightens during the underlying market's primary session; commission and overnight financing operate the same as on stock CFDs.
Spread tightest during primary session
Per entryS&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow have tightest spreads during US cash session. DAX and FTSE during Frankfurt and London hours; Nikkei during Tokyo session. Out-of-hours spreads widen materially — overnight index futures and economic events both move spreads.
0.03% opening commission
Per tradeFlat per-trade fee on multiplied position size. On a $5,000 notional index position ($100 margin × 1:50): 0.03% = $1.50 commission. Visible on the ticket. Same rate as stocks and commodities.
Overnight financing past primary close
Per night heldPer-night charge on leveraged positions held past the underlying market's close. Indices trade on cash-settled basis; financing reflects cost of leveraged exposure to the basket. Multi-day index plays — common for macro positions — accumulate financing meaningfully.
Dividend adjustment on index composition
Per ex-date eventsCash-equity indices (S&P 500, DAX) adjust for ex-dividends in the underlying components — long index CFD positions receive a small credit, shorts are debited, reflecting the index drop attributable to component dividends. Standard CFD-broker treatment.
