When an underlying stock that is part of an Index goes ex-dividend, entitlements will be allocated on the ex-date but the actual value of the payment will be settled on Pay Date. The Index CFD will be price adjusted to reflect this dividend. The weighted proportion of the applicable dividend within the Index, will be credited to the client's account for long positions and debited for short positions.
Index Dividend = Share Dividend * Shares in Index / Index Divisor*.
* Divisor: an amount used to stabilise the index value when its composition changes. The sum of all index members' prices is divided by the divisor to achieve the normalised index value. The divisor is adjusted when capitalisation amendments are made to the index members, allowing the index value to remain comparable always.
To prevent the value of an index from changing due to such an event, all corporate actions that affect the market capitalisation of the index, require a divisor adjustment to ensure that the index values remain constant immediately, before and after the event.
CFDs on Stocks and ETFs
Trading Cash Stock CFDs on live streaming prices with Saxo requires a subscription to the relevant exchange data.
You can benefit from trading Single Stock CFDs on live streaming prices without a delay for free if you make at least four (4) Cash Stock CFD trades on your account monthly.
Note this is valid for non-professional traders only. Read more about data fee refund for active equity trading on the page Market data subscriptions.
Market, Limit and Stop orders are supported. Stop Limit and Trailing Stops (the order moves in line with the market) are also available. You can place conditional 'If Done' and 'O.C.O.' (One Cancels Other) orders as well.
Saxo may choose to convert Market orders into aggressive Limit orders. This will be to comply with exchange restrictions and internal compliance.
Market orders may also be subject to a conversion by our executing brokers for the same reasons.
Please note that it is the client's responsibility to check if the order is filled in the market after order entry. Saxo will not be responsible for missing fills due to this.
Poland - Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE)
Broker's Market orders may be submitted to the exchange only during the continuous trading phase, except when balancing occurs. For any such order to be accepted, at least one opposite Limit order must be awaiting execution.
A broker's Market order shall be executed at the price of the best opposite buy or, as the case may be, sell order awaiting execution.
Where any Market order is partly executed, the unexecuted portion shall become a Limit order at the last price.
US - American Stock Exchange (AMEX)
Due to a limited order book on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) Saxo does not support Market orders on this exchange. Clients should use Limit orders instead.
Should you experience or suspect any errors with your orders, contact Saxo immediately.
A Limit order is an order to buy a Stock at no higher than a predefined price or to sell a Stock at no less than a predefined price.
For example, a Buy Limit order can only be executed at the Limit price or lower. A Sell Limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. The advantage here of course is that a trader is able to put a minimum control on the order.
A Stop order is by definition an order to get out (sell stop) or into a position (buy stop) of a position immediately. Saxo uses the Smart Order Routing process for CFDs to execute these emergency orders with access to the best available liquidity across venues at the time the order is sent*. Stop orders are commonly used to exit positions and to protect investments in the event that the market moves against an open position.
| Stop orders are placed | Stop order to SELL | Stop order to BUY |
|---|---|---|
| Stops on Single Stock CFDs are executed | the stop price is traded | the stop price is traded |
For US markets, Saxo uses sweep algorithms to add liquidity from more venues than the primary exchange. This implies that orders can be filled before trading commences on the primary exchange.
Market orders placed after 09:30 EST will not be filled before the Stock is crossed on the primary exchange. Stop orders are triggered on the primary market price feed and follow the routing rules listed above for market orders. As some stops are handled manually delays can sometimes occur.
Partial fills may occur on Limit orders and the remaining amount stays in the market as a Limit order and may be filled within the order duration. Market orders can be filled at numerous levels, the price paid will be the volume weighted average price of all the fills.
Algorithmic orders are available for both Cash Stocks and Single Stock CFDs. Essentially, Algorithmic orders provide clients with the opportunity to trade through various strategies with larger ticket sizes that may otherwise impact the market price. They can also break down an order in smaller bites to avoid showing the full size of their order. This may be of particular interest for clients trading Stocks and Single Stock CFDs outside of the most liquid names. The following 'Algo' order types are offered:
- VWAP
- TWAP
- With Volume
- Implementation Shortfall
- Pre-Market Limit
- Iceberg
- Reload
- Dark
- Liquidity Seeking
- Market on Close
- Limit on Close
Supported markets:
| APAC | EMEA | NORTH AMERICA |

| Australia Hong Kong Japan Singapore | Austria Belgium Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Italy Netherlands Norway Portugal South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom | Canada United States |

When short selling a CFD, you will be subject to the rules for the Stock market in that particular market. For example, when short selling CFDs, you may experience forced closure of a position if your CFDs get recalled. This may happen if the underlying Stock becomes hard to borrow due to corporate events such as take overs, dividends, rights offerings (and other merger and acquisition activities) or increased hedge fund selling of the Stock.
Please note that short sell orders with "Good-Til-Canceled" (G.T.C.) or "Good-Til-Date" (G.T.D.) duration may be cancelled if borrow availability ceases. We recommend that you monitor short sell orders entered outside market hours or running across multiple days closely.
You may experience limitations on the amount of CFDs you can short trade in a single day due to limited borrowing availability in the underlying market.
A borrowing cost will be applied to your short Cash Stock CFD positions held overnight. This borrowing cost is dependent on the liquidity of the Stocks and may be zero (0) for high liquidity Stocks. More details on the borrowing cost are available in the 'Single Stock CFDs and ETF/ETC CFDs' section under Pricing, Single Stock CFDs .
Short-selling restrictions
The Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) decided on 28 January 2013 to prohibit the short selling only in relation to shares of credit institutions admitted to trading on the Athens Exchange and comprising the FTSE/AthEX-CSE Banking Index from 1 February 2013 until 30 April 2013.
Special events
Based on the market signals Saxo gets from its brokers in regards to the consequences of Greece potentially leaving the Euro, we find it necessary to inform our clients holding Greek CFD positions that in the event of Greece leaving the Euro it will be creating exceptional market conditions.
Therefore please be advised that if Greece leaves the Euro Saxo may:
- close all Greek CFD positions held by our clients at the price that Saxo has available at that time, and
- the currency conversion away from Euro will be done at the conversion rates that Saxo has available.
Long Single Stock CFD trade
When you expect the price of a stock to go up, you can choose to take a long position in a Single Stock CFD.
In this example you expect the Barclays Bank share price to RISE from its current mid-price of £1.72. You have £10,000 to place on margin. With Saxo you have a 10:1 leverage on this instrument, meaning you only have to place 10% of the trade amount on margin.
You decide to buy 50,000 CFDs at the offer price of £1.73 which gives you a position of (50,000*£1.73) £86,500 in notional value.
Each day you hold the long position open you pay financing cost on the notional opening value of the position.
The interest rate used is LIBOR+3% (0.27144%+3% = 3.27144%). 10 days later, the Barclays price has risen and you sell the 50,000 CFDs at £1.85.
The trade details are:
| Opening the position | How to calculate | Amount (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Margin Available | £10,000 x 10 | 100,000 |
| Notional Transaction Value | 50,000 x £1.73 | 86,500 |
| Margin used | £86,500 x 0.10 | 8,650 |
| Commissions on the trade | £86,500 x 0.10% | -86,50 |
| Stamp Duty | n/a | |

| Notional Transaction Value | 50,000 x £1.85 | 92,500 |
| Commission on the trade | £92,500 x 0.10% | -92.50 |

| Profit on trade | £92,500 - £86,500 | 6,000 |
| Total Cost | £86.50 + £78.61 + £92.50 | 257.61 |
| Total Profit | £6.000 - £257.61 | 5,742.39 |
Short Single Stock CFD trade
When you expect the price of a Stock to fall, you can choose to take a short position in a Single Stock CFD.
In this example you expect the Barclays Bank share price to FALL from its current mid-price of £1.72. You have £10,000 to place on margin. With Saxo you have a 10:1 leverage on this instrument, meaning you only have to place 10% of the trade amount on margin.
You decide to sell 50,000 CFDs at the offer price of £1.71 which gives you a position of (50,000*£1.71) £85,500 in notional value.
Each day you hold the short position open you receive financing cost on the notional opening value of the position.
The interest rate used is LIBID – 2.5% (0.26561%-2.5% = -2.23439%). Since the rate is negative you effectively have to pay 2.23439% overnight financing. 10 days later, the Barclays price has fallen and you sell the 50,000 CFDs at £1.65.
The trade details are:
| Opening the position | How to calculate | Amount (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Margin Available | £10,000 x 10 | 100,000 |
| Notional Transaction Value | 50,000 x £1.71 | 85,500 |
| Margin used | £85,500 x 0.10 | 8,550 |
| Commissions on the trade | £85,500 x 0.10% | -85,50 |
| Stamp Duty | n/a | |

| Profit on trade | £85,500 - £82,500 | 3,000 |
| Total Cost | £85.50 + £53.07 + £82.50 | 221.07 |
| Total Profit | £3.000 - £221.07 | 2,778.93 |

Due to market conditions, a number of financial authorities are announcing rule changes that affect short-selling of physical Stocks. These rule changes are put in place to protect the integrity and quality of the securities market and strengthen investor confidence. As a consequence, the changes may affect short-selling of related CFDs.
It is the client’s responsibility to keep informed about which markets apply restrictions in short-selling. This can be done by contacting local authorities. A list of CFDs available for short-selling is available under CFD Trading Conditions on Saxo trading platforms.
It is standard practice for US depositary receipts to charge an annual administration fee per depository receipt, depending on the issuing depositary bank. The intention of the fee is to cover costs for banks that take on operational processes necessary, to issue and trade the depositary receipt line. Typically, the fee is deducted when dividend payments are made, however, in case the depositary receipt does not pay a dividend or did not include the custodial fee in their dividend events, the fee will be administered through fee-only events.
The dividend fee is stipulated in the Deposit Agreement between the depositary bank and the company based upon industry standards. The Deposit Agreement is filed with the SEC and is readily accessible by the public.
The fee per depositary receipt is not dependent on the total amount of dividend being paid but the amount of Stocks held.
Saxo will look to pass on these fees once the fee structure is applied.
Saxo passes on to clients the SEC Section 31 fee of USD 27.80 per million effective 22 May 2024 on US exchange CFD DMA and stock SELL transactions where client orders are entered directly into the underlying market. This fee only applies to US exchanges.
For more information please read press release published by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

CFDs on Commodities
When trading Commodity CFDs with Saxo a commission is not charged, but there is a bid/ask spread included in the price Saxo derives for each CFD.
This derivation means that whilst the CFD prices track the underlying Futures spread will be slightly wider.Commodity CFDs at Saxo are priced as the market spread on the underlying Futures contract plus a fixed mark-up. See a full list of Commodity CFD Spreads here.
Whilst all Commodity CFDs are priced in single units, often a minimum trade size will apply.Commodity CFDs are denominated in smaller lots than the underlying Futures contract. For example, the US Crude CFD is 25 barrels of oil, rather than 1,000 barrels. Each CFD is quoted as 1 unit of the underlying contract (e.g., 1 barrel), but there will be a minimum trade size. You are also able to reduce an open CFD position to below the minimum trade size. Should you be left with such a position then it should be closed via either the Account Summary or by contacting the dealing desk.
Commodity CFDs give clients exposure to the underlying commodity without the confusion of physical settlement. All Commodity CFDs transactions will be cash settled.
Like Futures, Saxo’s Commodity CFDs will expire each month and will be cash settled on the expiry date of the underlying future. Front month (current contract) and back month (following contract) will be offered to enable clients to manually roll positions from one contract to the next. The specific expiry date and time for individual Commodity CFDs can be found in the trading platforms on either the Trade or Order tickets plus the Instrument Information pages. .
Trading will cease at the specified time listed in the Contracts Specifications table for each contract. You should pay attention to when the Last Trade Day will take place as it differs contract to contract and month to month. Any positions still open at the close of trading on the Expiry Date will be automatically closed at the closing price set by Saxo and cash settled. For trading purposes, Saxo will quote both the current expiring month's contract and the following contract, where availability and liquidity allow.
Short selling of Commodity CFDs is fully supported with Saxo.
Below is an example to illustrate trading using Commodity CFDs.
Long Position in US Crude - Buy 100 barrels of US Crude CFDs
| Day 1 – the trader is bullish and therefore wants to be long US Crude CFDs. | |
|---|---|
| Trade | Buy 100 CFDs at $59.90 |
| Nominal value | $5990 |
| Margin required (5% margin for first €300k collateral on account, otherwise 10%) | $299.50 |
| Day 5 – the price has risen and the trader wishes to close their position for a profit. | |
|---|---|
| Trade | Sell 100 CFDs at $61.50 |
| Profit | $160 |
| Moving in the underlying commodity | ($61.50 - $59.90) / $59.90 = 2.7% |
In summary the trader took advantage of the leverage that comes with Commodity CFDs. The opening trade was valued at $5990 but the trader had to only provide a margin of 5% or $299.50. The closing trade generated a profit of $1.60 per barrel and whilst that translated to a 2.7% rise in the price of oil, the client realised a profit of $160. Clients should be reminded that while trading leverage products like Commodity CFD can bring increased profitability, they can also increase a trade’s potential loss should the market move against you.
See our Risk Warning.
CFDs on Forex
Forex CFDs carry a minimum trade size of 5,000 which is significantly lower than the Future Contract it is tracking, e.g. 1 lot of Euro/US Dollar Future is EUR 125,000. Minimum trade size of the US Index is 100 units.
Short selling of Forex CFDs is fully supported with Saxo.
Similar to Futures Contracts, FX CFDs expire and will be cash settled on the expiry date. Any positions still open at the time of expiry will be automatically closed at the market price.
Manual roll of a position from one expiry to another may be done until the time of expiry. The specific expiry date and time for individual FX CFDs can always be found in the trading platforms under CFD Commodities Trading Conditions and under Prices.
CFDs on Bonds
Bond CFDs are denominated in smaller lot sizes than the underlying Futures contract.
For example, one Bund Futures Contract imposes a EUR 10 tick value for each increment of the Futures price (0.01). As an alternative, you can choose to take your tick value down to EUR 1 with the Bund CFD for the same price increment (0.01).
50 CFDs is the minimum trade size for Bond CFDs
Similar to Futures Contracts, Bond CFDs expire and will be cash settled on the expiry date. Any positions still open at the time of expiry will be automatically closed at the market price.
Manual roll of a position from one expiry to another may be done until the time of expiry. The specific expiry date and time for individual Bond CFDs can always be found in the trading platforms under CFD on Futures Trading Conditions.
