Spreads are typical averages during the London and New York sessions and are indicative. They can widen when markets are volatile or thin. Raw forex and metals trades also pay commission; share CFDs pay commission on both accounts. Swaps are in points per lot unless stated, charged three times on Wednesday for forex and metals and on Friday for other markets. Times are server time (GMT+2, or GMT+3 during US summer time).
