Holding costs
At the end of each day (5pm New York time), your open CFD trading positions may be subject to a charge called a holding cost. The holding cost can be positive or negative depending on whether you are long or short. Indices, forex, commodity and treasury forward contracts are not subject to holding costs.
Holding costs for indices are based on the underlying interbank rate of the index (see table) plus 0.0082% on buy positions and minus 0.0082% on sell positions.
Holding costs for CFD trades on cryptocurrencies are calculated in line with our existing instruments. Overnight holding costs for Bitcoin/USD are 0.0685% on long positions, and minus 0.0137% on short positions. Overnight holding costs for all other cryptocurrencies are 0.0753% on long positions, and minus 0.0274% on short positions.
For share CFDs, holding costs are based on the underlying interbank rate for the currency of the relevant share (see table) plus 0.0082% on buy positions and minus 0.0082% on sell positions.
FX holding costs are based on the tom-next (tomorrow to next day) rate in the underlying market for the currency pair and are expressed as an annual percentage.
Holding rates for cash commodities and treasuries are based on the inferred holding costs built into the underlying futures contracts, from which the prices of our cash commodity and treasury products are derived.

Commission
Share CFDs attract a commission charge each time you enter and exit a trade. The commission charge varies depending on the country where the share product originates.
Is there a dormant account inactivity charge?
A monthly inactivity charge of £10 (amount depends on your account currency) will be deducted per dormant account where funds are available. An account shall be considered dormant if there are no open positions and there has been no other trading activity for a continuous period of one year.
The monthly inactivity charge of £10 (or its equivalent in another currency) will be deducted from a dormant account, usually within the first two (Paris) working days of the month, until either:
- The account is closed by the client or Axotrade ;
- Trading activity recommences on the account; or
- The balance of the account is reduced to zero.
Once the balance of a dormant account has reduced to zero, we will not deduct further monthly inactivity charges from the dormant account. A dormant account will not incur a negative balance as a result of the deduction of the monthly inactivity charge.
If you decide to reactivate your dormant account by trading again, the inactivity charge for up to three previous months (up to a maximum of £30) where this has already been deducted will be refunded to your account.
