Spread cost assumes the typical spread and is paid once, on entry. Commission is shown as a round turn where it applies. Swap is charged at 21:00 GMT and triples on Wednesday. Required margin is released when the position closes.
Reading it
What these numbers mean
Why does required margin change with leverage?
Margin is position value divided by leverage. At 1:500 a $100,000 position needs $200 held aside; at 1:100 the same position needs $1,000. Leverage does not change your risk — it changes how much capital is tied up while the trade is open.
Is the spread cost charged separately?
No. You pay it by entering at the ask and being marked at the bid, so a trade opens slightly negative. It is a real cost even though no line item appears on your statement.
Why is swap negative on both sides for crypto?
Crypto CFDs carry a financing charge in both directions because there is no interest-rate differential to earn. Holding overnight costs money whichever way you are positioned.
Does the calculator use live prices?
It uses recent typical prices and spreads, so the figures are representative rather than tick-accurate. Check the terminal for the exact number before sizing a real position.
