Notes to tables
The following notes apply to all of the preceding forex tables, wherever the corresponding number is found.
1. Normal dealing hours for all pairs are from 21.00 (London time) on Sunday until 22.00 (London time) on Friday, with the exception of emerging-market pairs. All dealing times listed are London times.
2. Spreads are subject to variation, especially in volatile market conditions. Our spreads are derived from the spreads in the underlying market available to us from the banks with which we trade. We constantly monitor spreads in the underlying market, offering our minimum spread when the market spread is particularly tight. In most other conditions, our typical spread applies. If spreads move wider in the underlying market, we may match this.
3. On controlled risk bets a premium is charged on opening. It is either added to the offer price or subtracted from the bid price. Controlled risk bets close at the normal closing price.
4. Please note that higher deposits may be required for large positions. See our tiered deposits page for further details. You can find the tiered deposits for each market from the 'Get info' section within each market in our
trading platform.
5. When forward forex bets are rolled over, the initial bet is closed at the mid-price for the contract month, plus or minus half of our normal spread. The new bet is then opened at the mid-price of our current quote for the next contract month. If the initial bet was controlled risk, the full controlled risk premium is added to the opening price of the new bet.
6. Each day your DFB bet remains open, we make a cash adjustment to your account to reflect the funding costs of your bet. The funding adjustment is based on the tom-next spread for the currency pair involved including an admin fee of 0.0055% per day. Note: For any position opened before 22.00 Wednesday that is still open after 22.00 Wednesday, the daily interest credit or debit will be made for three days as opposed to one. This three-day adjustment covers settlement of trades over the weekend period. This will not always apply to emerging-market pairs. Emerging pairs are priced using one-month pricing, so the funding charge for these will depend on the three-day adjustment that is made in the underlying market.
7. Forward spread is added to the current spot spread for each pair to produce our forward prices. This means that dealing spreads available will be variable, depending upon market conditions.
