How a CFD transaction works

When you go long on EUR/USD, you’re theoretically buying euros with dollars. When you close the trade, your profit or loss will be calculated in dollars. If the euro strengthened against the dollar, you’d get more dollars when you close the transaction. If the euro weakened, you’ll get back fewer dollars.


With leverage, you’re able to open larger positions than your capital would otherwise permit. When you trade forex CFDs with Money Enhancement, you can use leverage as high as 1:30; meaning you only need to provide margin to cover 3.33% of the position’s value.



When you trade forex CFDs, you don’t need to own either of the currencies included in the pair. For example, if your trading account balance is denominated in British pounds, you can still trade EUR/USD. The purpose of a CFD is to enable traders to speculate on the price of one currency against another. When a CFD is concluded, it will always be settled in cash, i.e. by increasing or decreasing the amount of balance in your trading account.


Costs to trade EUR/USD

There are different costs involved when trading CFDs with Money Enhancement. There are three primary factors which influence how much you pay for your transactions; they are:

  • The size of your trade, the bigger the trade, the higher the fees.

  • The instrument you’re trading, as different products have different characteristics.

  • The type of account you have, as different accounts have different conditions.

Commission

Commissions are charged when you open and close a trade. In this example, the commission charged is €10 per Lot. Once adjusted according to the trade size of 0.01 Lots the commission becomes €0.10. When converted to dollars, it becomes $0.12.

Swap

A swap is a fee for holding positions overnight. The price is derived from the base and quote currency’s interest rate differential and varies depending on whether your position is long or short. In this example, the swap rate for a long EUR/USD position is 5 Pips, and the rate for a short position is 1 Pip.
