How Commission Applies to CFD Trading

This is calculated based on the value of the live share, rather than from the margin rate. It is debited automatically from the trader's account, at the same time as the initial margin requirement.

In the process of a trade, commission is charged twice, once on the buy price and once on the sell price.
