  • Calculate Precious Metals Swap
    • The formula for calculating the Precious Metals Swap is :
      Number of Lots X Contract Size X Swap Rate / 360 Days

      Example : To Calculate the Swap for 10 lots of Long Spot Gold held overnight is :
      10 Lots X (100z x $1200 USD) X (-1%) / 360 Days = -$33.33 USD
     
  • Locked Position
  • Long and short positions of the same size that are open on the same product can reduce the risk for the client in the adverse action market. This involves opening a position in the opposite direction of the same size as the open position. The margin is ¼ of the initial margin.
     
  • Liquidation
  • Bacera Bullion's trading platform will automatically place a liquidation order for a Client's open position(s) when their Total Equity balance falls below 20% of the Initial Margin required for all open positions.

    *Derivative Markets can be very volatile, and Clients should be aware that prices on CFDs instruments may fluctuate rapidly over wide ranges. Prices depend on number of factors, including interest rates, supply and demand, and government actions. Clients should keep in mind that during such volatile market conditions Stop-Loss orders may not be honored at the price requested by the Client. It is possible that the market may "skip" the Stop-Loss order price due to a significant market event.
     
  • Limit Order/Stop Gain/Stop Loss

    • Example: Pending order for gold at 1700, profit at 1720, market gapping from 1719-1723, platform will close trade at 1723, or vice versa.
