General example — not HF Markets (SV) Ltd's dataWhat the common trading costs mean

Spread
The gap between the buy and the sell price; a cost built into the price of every trade.
Commission
A separate fee per trade, often charged on accounts with narrower spreads.
Overnight (swap) fee
A charge or credit when you hold a position overnight, based on the interest-rate difference of the instrument.
Deposit, withdrawal and inactivity fees
Costs outside trading, which may apply when you move money in or out, or when an account sits unused for a long time.
Comparing total cost
Add up the spread, commission and swap for the way you actually trade, and compare them on the same instrument and position size at each broker.

General example — not HF Markets (SV) Ltd's dataHow to read a broker's safety information

Checking a licence
Search for the company in the public register on the regulator's own website, and check that the company name, licence number and website match what the broker shows.
Segregated client funds
Client money is held in accounts separate from the company's own money, so it is not used to run the business.
Negative balance protection
Protection that stops an account balance going below zero after a sharp price move, so a trader cannot lose more than they deposited.
Investor compensation scheme
A fund in some jurisdictions that pays clients back, up to a set limit, if a licensed firm fails and cannot return their money.

Whether this broker has these is shown in the fields above and the conditions list below once our desk has checked.

Frequently asked questions

Our desk has not checked this section yet. Real figures, with their source, replace these once it has.

General example — not HF Markets (SV) Ltd's dataGeneral questions about choosing and using a broker

What does a licence from a regulator mean, and how can I check it?

It means a financial regulator has authorised the firm to offer its services in that regulator's jurisdiction, and the firm has to follow the regulator's rules. To check, search for the firm's name or licence number in the public register on the regulator's own website, and make sure the company name, website domain and licence status all match.

What is the difference between a spread and a commission?

The spread is the gap between the buy and the sell price, a cost built into the price every time you open a position. A commission is a separate fee charged per trade. Some accounts charge only a spread, others a narrower spread plus a commission, so compare the total of both.

What is a demo account for?

A demo account uses virtual money, so you can learn a platform and try out a way of trading without risking real funds. Results can differ from a live account, where slippage, liquidity and emotions come into play.

What should I check before depositing money?

Check the licence on the regulator's register, read the terms for deposit, withdrawal and inactivity fees, find out whether client money is kept separate from the firm's own funds, and keep in mind that leveraged trading can lose money quickly.

How are withdrawals usually verified?

Brokers usually send a withdrawal back to the method used to deposit, into an account in the trading account holder's own name, and may ask for identity documents or proof that the card or bank account is yours before approving it. How long it takes depends on the method and each broker's terms.
