Our platforms are battle-tested and have been in development throughout FXCM's 20 year history. You may trade any commodity product you like without regard for what you currently hold in your account, and can also trade cryptocurrencies, FX, Indices and Shares all from the same account.
When trading Commodity CFDs with FXCM, trading costs are included in the spread and there are no extra commission fees charged when opening or closing positions and unlike many other brokers there are no minimum commission levels, so at FXCM you are able to avoid the extra costs of placing smaller trades.
The spread costs can easily be calculated on the Trading Station platform, as you can see the real-time spreads and pip costs (in your account denomination) before you enter any trade. To calculate the spread cost in the currency of your account:
(Pip Cost) x (Number of Contracts) x (Spread) = Total Transaction Cost
Non-Spot Oil and Gas products, as well as Copper, Wheat, Corn, Soy and Natural Gas expire periodically.
This means you may want to manage your positions before the contract expires and your positions are automatically closed. See more details in our CFD Expirations Guide.
Any positions held past 5pm EST may be subject to a "financing charge" which reflects in an FXCM account as "rollover." Visit our CFD Product guide for more information.
The financing charges are updated daily and can be seen in the Trading Platforms under RollB and RollS.
There are no taxes applied by FXCM when you open and close a CFD position. Please consult a tax professional to advise you on your particular situation.
When executing customers' trades, FXCM can be compensated in several ways, which include, but are not limited to: spreads, charging commissions at the open and close of a trade, and adding a mark-up to rollover, etc. Commission-based pricing is applicable to Active Trader account types.
This tax treatment is applied by default to all positions and may be subject to change in the future. Rebates may be available depending on your individual tax and residency circumstances, or may differ based on the respective jurisdiction.
