ActivTrades Lowers Commissions

June 5, 2014

As of June 1st, ActivTrades is dropping its minimum commission on the major European stock

exchanges from $8 to $1.

In a move that is likely to have wide-range effects in equity CFDs trading, the reduced fee will

open the doors for traders to European stock exchanges and provide them with an opportunity to

trade share CFDs worth up to $2,000 on the Euronext, Italian and German exchanges with a

much reduced commission of only $1. With the previous fee structure, a trade of $100k cost

$8.00. Under the new system, a basket of stocks worth $5,000 would be charged a commission of

only $2.50 and a $10,000 basket only $5.

ActivTrades is a global online broker operating out of London, UK since 2001. The decreased fee

is only one in a series of strategic moves taken by the broker in its efforts to escalate its global

expansion. It recently added the highly traded currency pairs USD/CNH (US dollar/China

Offshore Spot) and USD/RUB (US Dollar/Russian Rouble) to its Forex list.

According to Alex Pusco, Chairman of ActivTrades, the client is the main concern of the

company. “We strive to offer them the best service possible at all times. With this new fee

structure we want to give a greater opportunity even to investors with lower trading volumes to

enter and trade in the equity markets and benefit from special discounts along the way”.

ActivTrades deals in Forex, Contracts for Difference (CFDs), Shares and Spread Betting. Their

services extend to all major international markets. They offer several unique analytical tools such

as SmartForecast which automatically calculates both short and long term resistance and support.

Their SmartOrder application extends the functions of the MetaTrader 4 platform, increases
