Financing Charge
Financing cost = ((100 x 9140.00) x (-0.25%-3.0%)) / 360 = 82.51 Euro
Example: UK100 long 250 units CFD, the price is 5875.00, the base currency of the account is GBP, and the GBP LIBOR interest rate is 0.50%,
Financing cost = ((250 x 5875.00) x (0.50% + 3.0%)) / 365 = GBP 140.84
Short financing cost = nominal value of transaction type x (subject interest rate-interest income) / number of days
Example: DE30 short 100 units CFD, the price is 9140.00, the account base currency is Euro, and the Euro LIBOR interest rate is -0.25%.
Financing cost = ((100 x 9140.00) x (-0.25%-3.0%)) / 360 = EUR 82.51
