📊 Spread

Spread is the difference between the buy price (at which you can buy an asset) and the sell price (at which you can sell it).

🔹 Simple example: If Bitcoin can be bought for $60,000 and sold for $59,950, then spread = $50.

🪙 Crypto — Dynamic Spread

The spread is dynamic and depends on:

• Selected trading pair

• Current market volatility

• Market depth

📌 Important:

When opening positions with an interval of 1 hour or more for BTC and ETH, the spread will be zero, while market spread applies for other pairs. If positions are opened with an interval of less than 1 hour, then market spread applies when opening BTC and ETH positions. When closing positions, the spread for BTC and ETH remains zero regardless of the interval.

🏛️ RWA — Fixed Spread

For all RWA assets (Forex and Commodity), a static spread applies:

• Spread rate: 0.0015%

• Spread does not depend on position size

• Spread is fixed and does not change based on volatility

• Spread is charged only when opening a position

⏰ Increased Spread for XAU/XAG Outside Trading Sessions

For XAU/USD and XAG/USD pairs, a dynamic spread system applies based on time:

Condition	Spread Rate
During exchange trading hours	0.0015%
Outside exchange hours / public holidays	0.0065%

Exchange trading hours: weekdays, 08:00 – 21:00 UTC

📌 The increased spread outside trading sessions is due to reduced liquidity in the precious metals markets during these periods.
