*Equity - estimation of the account of the Client in USD equivalent at settlement time.
**Different fees apply to CFD on single stocks (See "Trading commissions for single stock CFD, ETF CFD")
In case Net Deposit and Equity lead to different commission rates, Dukascopy Europe applies the lowest (as illustrated in the examples below).
For Self Traders with several margin accounts with Dukascopy Europe, Net Deposits and Equities are cumulated to define a unique volume commission rate applied to all margin accounts.
The volume commission is determined on a daily basis at every settlement time. The defined rate will be applied on the following trading day.
In addition to the standard fees, $0.5 per 1 MT4 lot ($5 per $1 million) is charged for trading on MetaTrader 4 platform.
The volume commission on MT4 accounts is calculated for a round turn transaction and is charged on opening trades in the account currency. The volume commission is calculated from the primary amount and converted to the Client Account's Balance Currency.
