I can’t say for certain as I’ve never seen this before and I’m not sure why any broker would offer 1:1 leverage! I’m sure there could be some quirk of the CFD platform that means you’d still pay a fee due to the swap price being calculated in terms of the price of the stock, even if leverage is 1:1. However, saying “1:1 leverage” is a bit strange, because at this point, you’re coming up with all the money yourself, and there is no leverage. Just buy shares.
Maybe I wasn’t too clear. The higher the value the stock, the more leverage is needed to access a single share of said stock, for the same amount of your money. The swap fee is calculated with regards the value of the stock.
You can find a description of the swap fee below from a staff member.
It’s not really. A lot of people on this forum, including myself gave up trading CFDs. It’s become too high risk for low profit margins.
