Commissions on Demo Account (AU)


Oscar_L

Question

Hey everyone,

I've just signed up for the demo account to practice trading CFD's and I noticed that when I trade CFD's for ASX shares like FMG the commission is way higher than it should be. Based on the fees and charges page I should be paying 0.08% which for a $20,000 trade should be $16. However I am getting hit for $77 odd dollars on both the open and close of the position.

Has anyone experienced the same?

Is there something wrong with my settings?

Hi @Oscar_L

Thank you for reaching out. 

The commission charged when trading CFDs on Australian shares is 0.08%, minimum charge of $7 applies. Therefore your commission will be (Shares x Price) x 0.08% 

Please email helpdesk.au@ig.com with the name of the stock, the number of shares bought and the date of trade on your demo account to help us investigate further. All the best, O.D

    • Because of this, it's wise for traders to thoroughly investigate exchanges before choosing one. I exclusively deal with cryptocurrency exchanges that have declared proof of reserve in the wake of the unfortunate events that saw some go bankrupt and others hack. Because of what I've heard traders say about Bitget and the fact that it met my requirements, I had to start using it right away. Therefore, I'd advise DYOR to choose whatever best meets your needs.
