Fee Schedule

The volume commission is charged in the primary currency for each opening or closing trade. Volume commission rate is expressed in USD per 1 million USD traded.

The volume commission is converted to the Client Account's Basic Currency.

For Clients trading by themselves (Self Traders) the volume commission rate depends on Net Deposit, Equity and Traded Volume as explained below (commissions come into effect 01-Jul-2012 at the settlement time):

In case Net Deposit, Equity and Traded Volume 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, Equities and Traded Volumes 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.

Trading commissions for single stock CFD

Volume commissions on single stock CFD instruments are 0.1% of the traded volume and do not depend on Net deposit, Equity and Traded Volume. Minimum commission charged for a trade is 10 EUR.

For Clients appointing an external manager/attorney, the volume commission rate may amount to a maximum of USD 75 per USD 1 million traded. 

All volume commissions are converted to the Client account's base currency at the moment when the trade is executed, at Dukascopy Europe current spot rate adjusted by a 0.1% fee.

In addition to the standard volume commission an extra fee USD 5 per 1 million USD for currencies and USD 7.5 per 1 million USD for precious metals is applicable to swap-free-accounts.
