We offer two pricing models: spread-only or Elite Trader. Our pricing models are clear and transparent. The pricing engine aggregates live prices, in real time, from our liquidity providers and calculates a mid-point.
A custom-built pricing algorithm automatically calculates the spread symmetrically around the mid-point for each tradable instrument on our trading platform. This mid-point fluctuates throughout the day as wholesale prices change.
