FXTRADING.com offers eligible index CFDs rather than exchange-traded index futures. A CFD price may reference a spot or futures market, but the CFD gives no ownership of an index, its shares or a futures contract.
Contract size and trade volume
Contract size describes the quantity or multiplier represented by one lot of the exact symbol. Trade volume is the number of lots. The same lot volume in two symbols does not necessarily create the same exposure, profit or loss per price movement, or margin requirement. Exchange labels such as standard, mini and micro do not establish the specifications of an FXT CFD.
Check the exact symbol before trading
Use Information in Web Trader or Specification in MT4/MT5 for the exact symbol and account. Check contract size; minimum and maximum volume and volume step; tick size and tick value, including the currency; margin and applicable leverage; trading hours and time zone; and any expiry or rollover rules. Check spreads, commissions and overnight charges where applicable. Do not infer values from another symbol or an exchange contract.
Risk and cost
Smaller volume can reduce exposure but does not make a leveraged CFD safe or guarantee affordability. Leverage magnifies the effect of price changes on your funds. Applicable costs, currency conversion and market conditions affect the result. If a specification is unclear, obtain clarification before placing a trade.
