If the client has an open order at the beginning of the trading session on the Ex-Dividend date, an automatic adjustment is applied to the net order amount. There is a credit for Buy orders and a debit for Sell orders. The adjustment value for Buy orders is equal to the dividend amount (Amount) multiplied by the number of stocks, multiplied by 80%. The adjustment value for Sell orders is equal to the dividend amount (Amount) multiplied by the number of stocks, multiplied by 100%. Adjustment does not apply to orders opened after the trading session begins. Positions are closed automatically if the debit adjustment amount exceeds the account balance.

Trading Terms

Spot Price

The market price of a financial asset, like a commodity or currency, applies to immediate buying or selling with instant settlement. This price shows the asset’s value in the market at that moment.
Swaps

An interest or fees when you keep a position open overnight. This cost comes from the difference in interest rates between the two currencies you’re trading.
Pips

In trading, the tiniest step of price change is a pip. We use pips to track shifts in the rates of currency pairs.
Margin

Amount of capital required to open and maintain a leveraged trading position.
Contract Size

The typical lot sizes vary among instruments. Normally, FX pairs are traded in 100,000 units, shares in 1,000 units, and other instrument types can vary from a single troy ounce of gold to fractions of Bitcoin.
Instrument

A specific financial asset, such as a currency pair, stock, commodity, or index, that can be bought or sold in the financial markets.
Spread Cost

Total costs you will pay to the broker, calculated by multiplying instrument spread by trade volume.
Average Spread

The difference between the bid and ask prices of an instrument over a specified period.
