What is net free equity
Understanding Net Free Equity (NFE)
Net Free Equity (NFE) represents the available balance in a trading account after factoring in unrealised profits/losses, market values, and margin requirements. It is used to calculate interest on your main trading account.
How Is NFE Calculated?
- Value-dated cash balance from your main account, adjusted for sub-account balances in the same currency.
- Unrealised profits or losses from open CFDs, FX Forwards, and Futures across your main and sub-accounts in the same currency.
- Market value of FX Options held in your main account and sub-accounts.
- Margin deduction for financing open positions, regardless of sub-account currency.
Important Considerations
- Cash collateral for NFE margin financing may differ from trading margin requirements. Refer to the full list of accepted collateral in the General Business Terms.
- Maintaining a positive NFE is crucial to avoid overdraft interest on your account.
- Interest Calculation: Interest is calculated daily and settled monthly, typically within seven business days after the end of each month.
