1 Spreads are variable and shown from their typical minimum. They may fluctuate and widen due to factors including market volatility and liquidity, news releases, economic events, market open and close, and the instrument being traded.
2 The higher commission on indices reflects our contract size, which is 100× larger than that offered by brokers such as HFM and Exness.
3 This is a leverage bonus, not a tradeable bonus — it isn't credited as withdrawable cash or profit.
