When trading Share CFDs with FXCM, trading costs are included in the spread and there are no extra commission fees charged when opening or closing positions and unlike many other brokers there are no minimum commission levels, so at FXCM you are able to avoid the extra costs of placing smaller trades.
The spread costs can easily be calculated on the Trading Station platform, as you can see the real-time spreads and pip costs (in your account denomination) before you enter any trade. To calculate the spread cost in the currency of your account:
(Pip Cost) x (Number of Contracts) x (Spread) = Total Transaction Cost
As long as there is sufficient margin in your account, you can hold your position indefinitely.
Any positions held past the closing time of a stock exchange may be subject to a "financing charge" which reflects in an FXCM account as "rollover." The financing adjustment will take place on the account after the close of the relevant stock exchange. Visit our CFD Product guide for more information.
The financing charges are updated daily and can be seen in the Trading Platforms under RollB and RollS.
