  In case Net Deposit, Equity and Traded Volume lead to different commission rates, Dukascopy Bank applies the lowest (as illustrated in the examples below).

  For Self Traders with several margin accounts with Dukascopy Bank, 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 trading on MetaTrader 4 platform

  In addition to the standard fees, $1 per 1 MT4 lot ($10 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.

  For clients granting a management to Dukascopy Bank (LP PAMM)

  The volume commission rate is discretionary set by Dukascopy Bank between USD 25 and USD 0 per USD 1 million traded. The currently applied rate and the history is available at LP PAMM.

• Rollover conditions

   

• Wealth management (LP PAMM) fees and commissions

   

• Binary Options fees

  In order to enter into binary option contracts, the client shall pay a premium which corresponds to the contract size. The premium is automatically debited by Dukascopy Bank from the client account, prior to opening any option contract for the client. If the funds on the client's account are insufficient to pay the premium, Dukascopy Bank automatically adjusts the contract size and/or rejects the client order(s).

  Dukascopy Bank does not charge any additional fees othe than the premium for entering into binary options contracts. However, the client understands and accepts that the market spread between the BID and the ASK price which exists for all tradable instruments negatively influences the probability of a gain. It should be noted that, in the case of Up option, the strike price of the option is based on the ASK but the relevant price at the maturity of the option, which determines if the option is In or Out-of-the-money, is the BID price. Inversely, for a Down option, the strike is based on the BID and the determining price at the maturity of the option is the ASK price. This means that, in order to be In-the-money, the price of the underlying shall move in the forecast direction more than the spread size.
