How are commissions calculated for trades on Deriv cTrader?
Formula (per side)
Commission = (Traded volume in USD) × (Commission rate) ÷ 100,000
To calculate traded volume in USD:
Traded volume in USD = (Volume in lots) × (Contract size) × (Execution price) × (Conversion rate to USD)
Example calculation with BTC/USD
Let’s say:
- You traded 1 lot of BTC/USD
- Each contract = 1 Bitcoin
- The current price is 60,000 USD
- Conversion rate = 1 (since it’s in USD)
- The commission rate (one side) is $10 per 100,000 USD traded
How to calculate:
1. Find the traded volume in USD:
1 (lot) × 1 (contract size) × 60,000 (price) × 1 (USD rate) = 60,000 USD
So, the total traded volume = 60,000 USD
2. Apply the commission formula:
Commission= (60,000 × 10) ÷ 100,000 = 6 USD
So, $6 commission per side
3. If you open and close the trade (round trade):
6×2 = 12
$12 total commission
