What is the commission calculation for trades on Deriv MT5 Financial account?

What is the commission calculation for trades on Deriv MT5 Financial account?

There are two formulas for commissions on Deriv MT5 Financial trades:

  1. Commission = Commission rate × Number of lots2.
  2. Commission = (Commission rate ÷ USD 100,000) x Volume x Execution price x Contract size

Example calculation for commission per lots:
Commission = Commission rate × Number of lots

For Forex trades like EUR/USD:

  • Opening trade: USD 2 commission x 1 lot = USD 2
  • Closing trade: USD 2 commission rate x 1 lot = USD 2
  • Total commission: USD 2 + USD 2 = USD 4

This calculation applies to Commodities (Metals) and all Forex pairs on a Deriv MT5 Financial account.

Example calculation for commission per trade:
Commission = (Commission rate ÷ USD 100,000) x Volume x Execution price x Contract size

For Cryptocurrency trades like BTC/USD:

  • Opening trade (BTC at USD 50,000): (USD 10 ÷ USD 100,000) × 1 lot × USD 50,000 = USD 5
  • Closing trade (BTC at USD 40,000): (USD 10 ÷ USD 100,000) × 1 lot × USD 40,000 = USD 4
  • Total commission: USD 5 + USD 4 = USD 9

This formula applies to Commodities (Energies), Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Stock Indices, and ETFs.

What is the commission calculation for MT5 Financial STP?

What is the commission calculation for MT5 Financial STP?

Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution Price × Contract size

For our example, we will use a cryptocurrency BTC/USD trade.

Total commission formula

  • Commission = (Opening commission rate × Number of lots) + (Closing commission rate × number of lots)

Opening trade

  • Execution price: $50,000
  • Volume: 1 lot
  • Commission rate: $10 per $100,000
  • Contract size: 1
  • Calculation: ($10 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $50,000 × 1 = $5

Closing trade

  • Execution price: $40,000
  • Volume: 1 lot
  • Commission rate: $10 per $100,000
  • Contract size: 1
  • Calculation: ($10 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $40,000 × 1 = $4

Total commission: $5 + $4 = $9

This formula applies to Forex, Cryptocurrencies, and Commodities (Metals).

How are IB commissions calculated for trades on Deriv MT5 Swap-free?

How are IB commissions calculated for trades on Deriv MT5 Swap-free?

There are two formulas for commissions on Deriv MT5 Financial trades:

  1. Commission = Commission rate x Volume
  2. Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution Price × Contract size

Example calculation for Formula 1
Commission = Commission rate x Volume

Example for EUR/USD:

  • Opening trade: USD 5 commission rate x 1 lot = USD 5
  • Closing trade: USD 5 commission rate x 1 lot = USD 5
  • Total commission: USD 5 + USD 5 = USD 10

This formula applies to Forex and Commodities (Metals).

Example calculation for Formula 2
Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution Price × Contract size

Example for Volatility 75 Index:

  • Opening trade (at $150,000): ($5 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $150,000 × 1 = $7.50
  • Closing trade (at $140,000): ($5 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $140,000 × 1 = $7
  • Total commission: $7.50 + $7 = $14.50

This formula applies to the following assets on MT5 Swap-Free:

  • Volatility Indices

How are commission calculated for Deriv X trades?

How are commission calculated for Deriv X trades?

Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution price × Contract size × Exchange rate to USD

Example: Volatility 75 Index

Opening trade

  • Commission rate: $7 per $100,000
  • Volume: 1 lot
  • Execution price: $20,000
  • Contract size: 1
  • Exchange rate to USD: 1

Calculation: ($5 ÷ $100,000) × 1 × $150,000 × 1 × 1 = $7.50

Closing trade

  • Commission rate: $7 per $100,000
  • Volume: 1 lot
  • Execution price: $20,000
  • Contract size: 1
  • Exchange rate to USD: 1

Calculation: ($5 ÷ $100,000) × 1 × $140,000 × 1 × 1 = $7

Total commission: $7.50 + $7 = $14.50

How are commissions calculated for trades on Deriv cTrader?

How are commissions calculated for trades on Deriv cTrader?

Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution price × Contract size × Exchange rate to USD

Example: Volatility 90 (1s) Index

Opening trade

  • Commission rate: $7 per $100,000
  • Volume: 1 lot
  • Execution price: $20,000
  • Contract size: 1
  • Exchange rate to USD: 1

Calculation: ($7 ÷ $100,000) × 1 × $20,000 × 1 × 1 = $1.40

Closing trade

  • Commission rate: $7 per $100,000
  • Volume: 1 lot
  • Execution price: $20,000
  • Contract size: 1
  • Exchange rate to USD: 1

Calculation: ($7 ÷ $100,000) × 1 × $19,000 × 1 × 1 = $1.33

Total commission: $1.4 + $1.33 = $2.73
