† Tick Factor = the price increment representing 1 whole trading unit, by which P&L and both initial and variation margin is calculated. For non-FX CFDs, the Notional Value of your underlying transaction is Price * Number of CFDs/Tick Factor.

Out of Hours Markets

GFC Global Markets will quote some markets outside of their respective regular trading hours (“out of hours”). When out of hours, spreads may widen and maximum trade sizes may decrease as indicated. If an order is triggered out of hours in size greater than our maximum out of hours trading size, the fill price may be adjusted accordingly in order to accommodate the entire order – unless the order in question is a guaranteed stop loss order. Out of hours spreads are indicated in brackets on the Product Info sheets. Our "Out of Hours" quotes are based on but not restricted to movements in other indices when available; movements in other financial markets such as the spot forex markets; news flow; and customer order flows.

Finance Adjustments

All finance adjustments are carried out at on open positions on cash indices at or after 22.00 London time. For examples on how the rollover process is applied, please see Examples. Finance adjustments are not made on open positions on CFD futures markets.

As you hold a position overnight, (i.e. after 22.00 UK time) a finance adjustment is made to your account. This is calculated as follows:

f = (s x p x r) / d

where

f = daily financing charge

s = your stake

p = closing price as determined by GFC Global Markets

r = relevant LIBOR rate, PLUS 300 basis points for long positions, or MINUS 300 basis points for short positions

d = number of days, i.e. 365 for UK andAustralian indices and 360 for all others

Long (buy) trade positions are debited the daily financing charge

Short (sell) positions are credited the daily financing charge

 

Dividends

Dividend adjustments to cash index CFD trades apply as follows:

Buy trades are credited with (number of points by which the index concerned has been adjusted x trade size).

Sell trades are debited with (number of points by which the index concerned has been adjusted x trade size).

Minimum / Maximum Trade Sizes

Maximum trading sizes vary according to underlying liquidity, market conditions and whether the underlying market is classed as being quoted by GFC Global Markets as “out of hours”, i.e. outside of regular trading hours.

The market information sheets indicate the usual minimum and maximum trading sizes in GBP; currency equivalents apply for non-GBP accounts, or when trading on markets denominated in a currency other than GBP.

Restrictions may be applied to maximum trade sizes whether opening or closing.

The minimum number of CFDs (or “trade size”) for markets with GFC Global Markets is 100 for individual equities, and 1 CFD for all other markets. The lot size of the corresponding underlying market is provided for your information, as a guide to minimum market trading size.

When you trade CFDs you are always trading the in “base” currency of the underlying market. E.g. if you trade a US share, you are trading in US dollars per one cent movement.

Trading Hours

Times shown are GFC Global Markets' usual times for trading a market; these may vary e.g. on market holidays and where daylight saving applies.

Unless indicated otherwise, times shown are London time.

Our normal dealing hours are from 22:00 Sunday to 22:00 on Friday.

Spreads

The spreads shown may vary according to underlying market liquidity, or in “fast markets”.
