- How are fees, on CFDs, calculated?
-
Spread:
Spread * Price in USD * Number of units
Overnight fees (per night):
Fee * amount of units
- What is leverage for CFDs?
-
Leverage is a temporary loan given to the trader by the broker, enabling the trader to open a trade of a larger size with a smaller amount of invested capital. Leverage is presented in the form of a multiplier that shows how much more than the invested amount a position is worth.
For example: If you trade with no leverage at all and invest $1,000, for every 1% move in the market, you can gain or lose $10, which equals 1% of $1,000. However, if you were to invest the same $1,000 and trade using x10 leverage, the dollar value of your position would be equal to $10,000.

- What is a “bid/ask market spread”?
-
The market spread arises from the difference for which a product can be bought and sold (bid and ask). This difference does not arise from eToro and is not incurred as a cost when you buy or sell a real stock on eToro.
- What other fees apply?
-
When depositing and withdrawing in non-USD currencies, a conversion fee will be incurred. Diamond members are automatically exempt from FX conversion fees. Platinum and Platinum+ members receive a 50% discount. There is also a low fixed $5 fee for withdrawals and a $10 monthly inactivity fee after 12 months with no login activity.
Although not a fee that is levied by eToro, each transaction is subject to a market spread upon opening and closing. This is determined by the market and is a characteristic that is consistent across all banks and brokers.
- What is Stamp Duty and who needs to pay it?
-
We will be passing a Stamp Duty Reserve Tax on to clients who open new positions in UK-listed stocks. Stamp Duty is a regulatory transaction tax levied by the UK government on the electronic purchase of all UK-listed stocks. It is currently set at 0.5% of the value of the stock purchase (SDRT is also normally charged at 0.5% but is rounded up to the nearest 1p). This is a mandatory regulatory transaction tax that applies to all clients trading UK-listed stocks, regardless of their country of residence.
