The commission
First off, you should understand that there is something called commission in CFD trading in Australia. We know it is quite hard to resist but there are naïve traders who have no idea whether commissions are involved. How can you trade the market if you are not aware of the simple terms in the market? So, the commission may differ according to the size of the trade. Also, there are some providers who don't involve commissions. However, as the traders in the CFD market, it is your duty to become acquainted with the basics terms used in the market.
The Spread widening
There are share prices for CFDs but some brokers do not prefer to use the exact price so they use the market made price and the spread widening comes into the picture. These preferences may differ according to the provider and the market movement. As traders, it is important for you to understand what spread widening means and how it happens.
The Slippage
The slippage means the difference between the intended exit price and actual exit price. The slippage may occur based on the stop losses placed by the makers of the market, the liquidity of the share, and volatility. You should keep an eye on the slippage amount so that it would not be excessive. In case you face slippage you should check the liquidly level of the shares which may affect the slippage. Also, there is one more factor that causes slippage and i.e. overnight risks. Just imagine a trader enters the market without knowing any of these terms, how can he trade? It is no wonder why amateur traders leave the market. There are many other costs involved in the CFD market so as traders it is a must to have at least some knowledge about the costs.
