Understanding Your
Trading Costs & Margin Mechanics

XAUUSD247 includes two main cost components — a commission on opening positions and a funding rate applied every 4 hours — along with a margin structure designed for capital efficiency.

Commission

Funding Rate

Unilateral Margin

How Is Commission Calculated

Every time you open a trade on XAUUSD247, a commission is charged. It's calculated as a percentage of the total value of your position — so the larger the trade, the higher the commission.

Formula

  • 0.06%
    Commission rate (fixed)
  • Volume
    Your trade size in lots
  • Open Price
    Market price at execution

Example

  • Volume
    100 lots
  • Open price
    $4,711.16
  • 0.06% × 100 × $4,711.16 = Commission
    $282.67

*Figures are illustrative only. Actual commission varies with position size and execution price.

How Funding Rate Works

The funding rate is a periodic charge exchanged between long and short position holders — settled approximately every 4 hours.

Replaces the traditional overnight swap fee entirely — XAUUSD247 does not charge both.

You may Pay or Receive

  • You Pay Depends on your position direction and current market conditions
  • You Receive When holding the side aligned with the prevailing funding direction

Settlement Schedule — GMT+8

  • 00:00
  • 04:00
  • 08:00
  • 12:00
  • 16:00
  • 20:00

*Settlement times may be subject to adjustment. The current rate and a countdown to the next settlement are displayed in real time on the Vantage App, Web, and MT5 before each settlement.

How Unilateral Margin Works

When you hold both long and short positions simultaneously, margin is not calculated on both sides. Only the net or larger position is charged — improving your capital efficiency.

Quick example: Buy 3 lots + Sell 4 lots → margin calculated on 4 lots only.

Example 1 — Full Hedge (Equal Lots Both Sides)

  • Long
    30 lots$4,368.09
  • Short
    30 lots$4,373.41
  • Fully hedged → margin on 30 lots at average price
  • Average price of both sides($4,368.09 + $4,373.41) ÷ 2 = $4,370.75
  • Position value at average30 × $4,370.75 = $131,122.50
  • Apply 100× leverage$131,122.50 ÷ 100 = $1,311.23

Example 2 — Partial Hedge (Unequal Lots)

  • Long
    30 lots
  • Short
    30 + 10 lots
  • 30 hedged → Margin A (VWAP) 10 → Margin B
  • Locked portion (30 lots) at VWAPVWAP = (Buy + Sell) ÷ 2
    30 × VWAP ÷ leverage = Margin A
  • Unhedged short (10 lots) at original price10 × open price ÷ leverage = Margin B
  • Total marginMargin A + Margin B

*Figures are illustrative only. Actual margin depends on real-time prices, position size, and leverage at the time of trading.

Key Trading Rules

Two key mechanisms govern leverage and exposure on XAUUSD247.

  • Tiered (Stepped) Leverage

    Leverage is applied based on total net position size.

    As position size increases, leverage decreases.
    Full tier details are available on the trading platform under XAUUSD247 product specifications.

    Vantage Gold Trading 24/7

  • Exposure Limits

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1

    What is XAUUSD247 and how is it different from regular gold trading?

    XAUUSD247 is Vantage's 24/7 gold CFD product, giving traders access to gold markets beyond standard trading hours. Unlike regular gold CFDs (XAUUSD), it trades around the clock with a funding rate mechanism instead of overnight swap fees — offering a clearer, more transparent cost structure.

  • 2

    What are the trading hours for XAUUSD247?

    XAUUSD247 is available to trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unlike standard gold CFDs which follow traditional market hours, there are no weekend or overnight closures. Please refer to the platform for any scheduled maintenance windows that may apply.

  • 3

    How do I check the funding rate before it settles?

    The current funding rate is displayed in real time on the Vantage App and Web as a percentage, with a live countdown to the next settlement. On MT5, it is shown as a decimal figure without a countdown timer. We recommend checking the rate before each settlement if you are holding an open position.

  • 4

    What happens when I reach my exposure limit, and how do I resume normal trading?

    Once your net or gross exposure limit is reached, your account moves to close-only mode — meaning you can close existing positions but cannot open new ones. To resume normal trading, reduce your open exposure below the applicable limit. The limits are 500 lots (net) and 1,000 lots (gross) per login.
