Pricing
CIB provides prices on its CFDs that closely track the real prices of the futures contracts traded on the exchanges, and prices are quoted in the underlying currency of the future contract. CIB charges a fraction of the commission charged by the underlying exchange and requires a smaller deposited margin than that of the exchange.
Trading Times
Trading times for all futures CFDs are exactly the same as the trading times of the underlying exchange on which futures contracts are traded.
Order Sizes
Order sizes depend on the individual underlying futures contract, details of which are provided below and start at 0.01 lots on each futures contract.
Swap / Rollover
If a trade is kept open overnight, then there is a swap/rollover cost/income calculated on that position. The cost or income is calculated as the overnight interest rate differential between the two currencies plus the commission charged by the company on which the position is held, depending on the type of the position (long/short). It is important to remember that you can gain or lose on swap and, as such, you have either positive rollover or negative rollover. There is a possibility that some instruments may have negative rollover values on both sides, because CIB charges its own commission on the interest rate differential of the overnight rate of the two currencies, and therefore the positive and negative values are decreased accordingly. The ’swap’ is charged automatically on the account of the client and is converted into the currency that the account is denominated in. The ‘swap’ is charged at 23:59 (GMT+2). server time. From Friday to Monday swap is charged once. From Wednesday to Thursday swap is charged at triple rate.
