How and on what income is generated

The main way a company makes money on CFD products is through spreads – an exchange commission that is added to the market price.

The value of any trade takes into account two prices (known as the Bid and Ask), so you will always buy slightly above the market price and sell slightly below.

If Microsoft Corporation stock trades at $135.00 and has a one point spread, then, the Ask price would be $135.10 and the Bid price would be $134.90.

You also need to pay other fees when trading with us:
  • Spread on position opening
  • Spread on position closing
  • Inactivity fees
  • Commission on clients' profits by IIA+ signals
  • Commission on clients' IPO and OTC profits
  • Commission on clients' profits on ready-made investment solutions

The company receives a commission from the profits of its clients

The company has various types of instruments offered to generate income by speculating in financial markets, many of which represent a large body of work by the analytics department. Such lists include offers for IPO and OTC projects, IIA+ artificial intelligence and ready-made investment solutions from the company.

By taking advantage of such services, the company’s clients are obligated to pay a commission for the yield received from these instruments. The percentage of commission is specified on the pages of the instruments, as well as individually negotiated for the client in the work with the IPO and OTC.

IIA+ commissions according to the actual profit of the client:
  • 10% - IIA+ Artificial Intelligence
  • 10% to 25% - IPO and OTC projects
  • 10% to 20% - Investment ideas

Does the company seek to profit from customer losses?

No. Our business model is based on giving people the opportunity to trade in global financial markets in exchange for fair and proportional transaction fees. Trading successfully is notoriously difficult, and most speculative traders tend to lose. However, we usually do not benefit from trading losses that an unsuccessful client might incur.

Basically, our clients offset each other’s positions. For example, if client A buys one DAX lot and client B sells one DAX lot, both sides of the trade are covered. This means that 4Trade is not exposed to the profits or losses of either of our clients. Instead, we make our money through the spread or commission each client pays to trade.

Sometimes the vast majority of clients will trade in one direction. When that happens, we will protect our exposure by hedging in the market. For example, if client A and client B buy DAX, we can buy actual DAX futures. In this way, we cover the amount we will pay out if both clients’ results are successful.
