Overnight Policy

CFDs on cryptocurrencies are subject to overnight policy.

Dukascopy Europe's Overnight Policy is aimed at providing highly competitive rollover conditions to its clients in order to underline the Europe's leadership. Dukascopy Europe applies different rollover rates to ensure that higher trading turnover for a client results in better overnight conditions.

The rollover conditions applicable to a client's trading accounts are determined dynamically based on the client's Trading Activity. Trading Activity is calculated over the last 30 calendar days across all of the client's trading accounts as the total trading volume divided by the sum of the trading volume and the overnight volume.

Note: The overnight volume is the sum of rollover open trades. The trading volume is the sum of all executed orders except for rollover trades.

Trading Activity reflects the trader's tendency to trade intraday more frequently than to keep positions overnight. Trading Activity is recalculated on a daily basis at the settlement time and the rollover policy is defined according to the percentage levels below:

If no trading statistics are available for the previous 30 calendar days, the Advanced Rollover Policy is applied by default. Clients whose Trading Activity exceeds 90% qualify for the Premium level and the corresponding rollover rates. Clients can view the Rollover Policy currently applied to their accounts in the “Rollovers” report. For more information on how Trading Activity is calculated, see the examples below.

• Examples of Trading Activity calculation

  Example 1
  Over the last 30 calendar days, a client opens six positions with a volume of 1,000,000 each, closes five of them on the same day, and carries one position over to the next trading day.

  Opening trade volume	6 000 000
  Partial closing trade volume	5 000 000
  Rollover open volume for 1 day	1 000 000
  Total trading volume	11 000 000
  Total trading and overnight volume	12 000 000
  Trading Activity: (11 000 000 / 12 000 000) * 100% = 92% Applicable rollover policy: Premium

  Example 2
  Over the last 30 calendar days, a client opens a position with a volume of 1,000,000 and holds it for 9 days before closing it.

  Opening trade volume	1 000 000
  Closing trade volume	1 000 000
  Rollover open volume for 9 days	9 000 000
  Total trading volume	2 000 000
  Total trading and overnight volume	11 000 000
  Trading Activity: (2 000 000 / 11 000 000) * 100% = 18% Applicable rollover policy: Regular
