Upgraded Instruments List

XM is expanding the instruments pool for clients to trade, fully aligning it with institutional market practices.

New Indices and Commodities, Cash or Future, have been added to our Instruments list with even tighter spreads!

New Lot Sizes:

In order to align with best market practices, Lot Sizes have changed accordingly for all non-Forex instruments.

• Indices

As of the launch dates specified above, the size of 1 Lot will be 1 unit of Index CFD for all CFDs on Future Indices and Cash Indices.

(1 Lot = 1 unit Index CFD).

As of the launch dates specified above, the Minimum Trade size for each Index CFD will be 1 Lot. Allowable trading sizes are integer multiples of 1 Lot.

E.g. Allowable trade sizes are all integer numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

Example

After the launch date of Wall Street 30 at 11/12/2014:

1 Lot Wall Street 30 = 1 unit Index CFD Wall Street 30 in USD

Profit Calculation: Number of Lots x (Index Close price – Index Open Price)

E.g. Assuming a client sells 5 Lots of Wall Street 30 at 17000 and closes the trade at 16900

Profit Calculation: 5 x (17000-16900) = USD 500

Dividend adjustments on Cash Indices

Cash Indices will be subject to dividend adjustments. When a constituent member of an index pays Dividends to its Shareholders, dividend adjustments will be made to accounts of clients holding a position on the index at 00:00 GMT+2 of the ex-Dividend Date. Germany 30 (GER30) will not be subject to dividend adjustments.

Buy trades will receive as follows: Dividend adjustment per Index CFD x Lots held

Sell trades will be charged as follows: Dividend adjustment per Index CFD x Lots held

Example

E.g. Total Dividends for US 500 on a day are $0.5 per 1 unit of index CFD then:

Client position: 10 units of US 500 index CFD long
Dividend adjustment: 10 x $0.5 = +$5 (+$5 on Account Balance)

Client position: 20 units of US 500 index CFD short
Dividend adjustment: 20 x (-$0.5) = -$10 (-$10 on Account Balance)
