How do I calculate the Notional Values for a CFD? Please click here to see the details.
For the purposes of calculating the notional trading volume of gold (XAU/USD) and silver (XAG/USD) under the ATG Program, the applicable prices shall be capped at USD 4,000 per ounce for gold and USD 80 per ounce for silver, respectively. In the event that a transaction is executed at a price exceeding the applicable cap, the notional trading volume shall be calculated using the capped price. Example: If a transaction involves 100 ounces of gold at a price of USD 5,000 per ounce, the calculation shall apply the capped price of USD 4,000 per ounce, resulting in a notional trading volume of USD 400,000 (4,000 × 100).
HOW IS THE REBATE PAID OUT?
After registering with the Rebate Program, FXCM will review your trading account and the associated notional trading volumes on the last business day of each calendar month. Any rebates will be paid in the subsequent calendar month. Your account must be open, active and not subject to any dispute or default on the date the rebate falls due to the account.
