* Trading complex products with higher leverage implies a high level of risk and may result in the loss of all or part of your invested capital.
** As soon as your trading position is opened, the spread will be withdrawn from your account, which represents the difference between the current buying and selling price.
***The initial margin is fixed and as such does not depend on the opening price. The current initial margin can be found in your trading platform under the specification for each of these instruments.
****The GAS pricing is based on HUB-NYMEX, Henry Hub Natural Gas (FFS Symbol: XNGUSD). The spot price is derived from a weighted average between the 1st and 2nd month futures contracts and follows the New York business day convention. For GAS, 1 unit equals 10,000 MMBtu (million British thermal units).
