Charging Structure and Customer Support

Compared to other brokers, UFXMarkets does not charge commissions or general fees but for spreads on trades.

The spread refers to the following:

  • Differences between bids and asking prices for currencies
  • Differences in price between two related futures contracts
  • Transactions that involve two or more option series for the same currency.

Not all traders get access to the same spreads because different accounts enable separate spreads. Traders may be required to pay rollover fees and conversely, get payment for these fees. Rollover refers to the interest rate traders pay or receive from open positions that roll over from day to day. It depends on whether interest rate for the main currency is higher or lower than the secondary currency.
