Here Is an Example of Share CFD Trading
Transaction
The market price for shares in company XYZ on the NYS is currently trading at $12.00/12.02. You think that the company’s shares are undervalued and will increase so you decide to buy 5000 CFDs at $12.02 each (being the price at which UptrendsFX is willing to enter into the CFD).
Two weeks later, shares in company XYZ have increased and are now selling at $12.52. You decide to realise your gain by Closing Out your CFD position.
UptrendsFX quotes you a price of $12.52/CFD (being the price at which UptrendsFX is willing to sell you CFDs to Close Out your 5000 CFDs). You trade at that price. The amount of profit you have made, before adjustments and tax, on the Transaction is $2500.00 (difference between 12.02 and 12.52) x 5000 = $2500). With a Margin requirement of 10% of the Contract Value, the Margin requirement for the XYZ position is $6010.00 ($60,100 x10%).
Adjustments
Company XYC paid a dividend of 10 cents per share while your position was open. Therefore you are entitled to a positive dividend adjustment of $500 (5000 x 10 cents) (this amount is posted to your Trading Account). Share CFDs are subject to a commission charge (we also call it a Transaction Fee) on the opening and closing Transactions (based on the Closing Value).
The transaction fee on this trade will be of a minimum of $15 USD or 2cents a share (depending on the greater value. In this case 5000 units* 2cents = $100 USD will be the commission charged for opening the trade as this is greater than $15 USD.
Since you hold a long Share CFD position overnight, costs are charged by way of the Finance Charge. This is calculated on your positions by applying the applicable Finance Charge rate to the daily Closing Value of the position. The formula to calculate financing is: (Quantity x Closing Price) x ((UptrendsFX Base Rate +/- Client Mark up) / number of days for Terms Currency)
In this example, for instance if the applicable rate is 4.5% p.a. and the Closing Price of the CFD on a particular day is $12.20, then the overnight Finance Charge is then calculated as follows: The base rate is 2.5%;
Client Mark up is 2.0%
(5000 x $12.20 x 4.50%) / 365
The Finance Charge on this particular day would therefore be $7.52.
