How and from what sources is income generated?

The primary method by which a company profits from CFD products is via spreads – a type of commission that is appended to the actual market price.

Every trade incorporates two prices (referred to as the Bid and Ask), meaning you invariably purchase a bit higher than the market price and sell a bit lower.

For instance, if Microsoft Corporation’s stock is listed at $135.00 and comes with a one-point spread, the Ask price would then be $135.10, while the Bid price would be $134.90.

In addition to spreads, trading with us involves the payment of other fees:
  • Spread on position opening
  • Spread on position closing
  • Inactivity fees
  • Commission on clients' profits by IRONS AI signals
  • Commission on clients' IPO and OTC profits
  • Commission on clients' profits on ready-made investment solutions

The company earns a commission from the profits generated by its clients.

The company offers a diverse range of instruments for income generation through speculation in financial markets, a testament to the extensive efforts of the analytics department. This portfolio includes opportunities in IPO and OTC projects, the IRONS AI artificial intelligence system, and the company’s proprietary investment solutions.

Clients utilizing these services are required to pay a commission on the returns these instruments yield. The specific commission rates are detailed on the instrument pages and can also be individually negotiated for clients engaged with IPO and OTC projects.

IRONS AI commissions are based on the actual profit generated for the client:
  • 10% - IRONS AI Artificial Intelligence
  • 10% to 25% - IPO and OTC projects
  • 10% to 20% - Investment ideas
To withdraw money, you need to submit a payment request to the finance department.

Is it the company's intention to gain financially from the losses of its customers?

No, our revenue model is focused on providing access to global financial markets for a reasonable and proportionate fee for transactions. Achieving success in trading is challenging, with a high likelihood of loss for speculative traders. Our profits are generally not derived from the losses of our clients.

In essence, our clients’ trades typically neutralize each other. For instance, if client A purchases one DAX lot and client B sells one DAX lot, the trade is balanced on both ends. Thus, 4Trade does not profit from or lose due to our clients’ individual trading outcomes. Our earnings come from the spreads or commissions paid by clients to execute trades.

In scenarios where a significant number of clients lean towards one trading direction, we manage our risk exposure through hedging in the market. For example, if both client A and client B decide to purchase DAX, we might buy actual DAX futures to offset the potential payout should both clients achieve profitable results.
