- 2Gold (XAUUSD): lots, price moves and our fixed spreadHow a lot of gold works, what a one-dollar move is worth, and what our fixed spread costs you — with a worked example.
- 3Oil: US Oil and Brent as monthly contractsWhy oil trades as a monthly contract, what our fixed spread costs on a lot, and what to do before a contract expires.
- 4The Dow Jones (DJ30): points and what they are worthHow the Dow Jones index is traded, what one point is worth on a lot, and what our fixed spread costs.
- 5Margin made simpleOur margin is a fixed dollar amount per lot, never a percentage. The tiers, a worked example and what stop-out means.
- 6Storage fees: 3 days free, then a daily feeThe first days of every position are swap-free. What is charged after that for each kind of market, and why Wednesday costs no more than any other day.
