📊 Spread
Spread is the difference between the buy price (at which you can buy an asset) and the sell price (at which you can sell it).
🔹 Simple example: If Bitcoin can be bought for $60,000 and sold for $59,950, then spread = $50.
🪙 Crypto — Dynamic Spread
The spread is dynamic and depends on:
- Selected trading pair
- Current market volatility
- Market depth
📌 Important:
When opening positions with an interval of 1 hour or more for BTC and ETH, the spread will be zero, while market spread applies for other pairs.
If positions are opened with an interval of less than 1 hour, then market spread applies when opening BTC and ETH positions.
When closing positions, the spread for BTC and ETH remains zero regardless of the interval.
🏛️ RWA — Fixed Spread
For all RWA assets (Forex, Commodity, Indices), a static spread applies:
- Spread rate: 0.0015%
- Spread does not depend on position size
- Spread is fixed and does not change based on volatility
- Spread is charged only when opening a position
⏰ Increased Spread for XAU/XAG Outside Trading Sessions
For XAU/USD and XAG/USD pairs, a dynamic spread system applies based on time:
| Condition | Spread Rate |
|---|---|
| During exchange trading hours | 0.0015% |
| Outside exchange hours / public holidays | 0.0065% |
Exchange trading hours: weekdays, 08:00 – 21:00 UTC
📌 The increased spread outside trading sessions is due to reduced liquidity in the precious metals markets during these periods.
📊 Spread data is updated in real-time and visible in the trading terminal.
⚡ Don't forget to account for funding when holding positions — it's an important component of overall trading costs.
