Pepperstone is a broker specialising in Forex, currency index, cryptocurrencies, index, share and commodities CFDs. It was founded in 2010 by Owen Kerr and Joe Davenport and it’s based in Melbourne. It boasts 57,000 customers, 170 employees and a daily trade average of $12.55bn.
When you trade with Pepperstone, you’ll find variable spreads on their MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, with prices coming from a number of sources to give you access to the best one. You can see an example of min and avg spreads below:
Currency pair | Razor minimum spread | Razor average spread | Standard minimum spread | Standard average spread |
---|---|---|---|---|
EURUSD | 0 | 0.16 | 1 | 1.16 |
GBPUSD | 0 | 0.40 | 1 | 1.40 |
AUDUSD | 0 | 0.27 | 1 | 1.27 |
When you hold positions overnight in Forex, Pepperstone will charge you a swap rate. The rates are calculated by financial institutions that Pepperstone works with, based on market conditions and risk management analysis. Each currency pair has its own rate, measured on a standard size of 1.0 lots. You can see an example below:
Currency pair | One point | Exchange rate | Trade size | Long swap rate | Short swap rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
EURUSD | 0.00001 | 1.1290 | 1 lot (€100,000) | -11.49 | +7.02 |
Swap value debited is €-10.18 and, if you were short one contract of EURUSD, you’d receive €6.22 daily.
(0.00001/1.1290) * (100,000 *-11.49) = €-10.18
cTrader account commissions are 0.0035% of the base currency that you’re trading. E.g. if you trade 100,000 EUR/USD, you will pay €3.50 to open the contract and another €3.50 to close it.
Pepperstone charges a fee for positions in equity CFDs, Share CFDs or Commodities that are held open overnight. This fee is daily, it applies to weekends as well and it’s estimated by adding or subtracting 2.5% on top of the benchmark regional interest rates for the underlying product.
Account Fee | Deposit Fee | Withdrawal Fee | Inactivity Fee |
---|---|---|---|
$0 | $0 | $20 for international bank transfer | $0 |
When you open an account with Pepperstone, you can choose between 4 currencies: GBP, EUR, USD and CHF. However, once the account is created, you can no longer change the base currency and, if you need to trade in a different currency, you’ll need to open a second live account.
