This is a great addition to the EIMF’s growing list of achievements and a fitting confirmation of our high level of specialisation and the expert level of our training and education provision for the Sector.”

Admiral Markets Simplifying Commissions

Admiral Markets UK Ltd has announced that starting from August 10th, 2015, it will cut the commission and apply a simplified calculation model on its ECN (Admiral.Prime) accounts.

The current commission rate is USD 35 per 1 million USD of a position's notional value, which is about USD 7.63 per 1.0 lots EUR/USD round turn (assuming the market rate is 1.09). After the change rate: currency pairs and spot gold - USD 3.01 per 1.0 lots; spot silver - USD 0.3 per 1.0 lots.

In this way the new commission will cut the trading-related overhead costs on the most popular instruments, plus making it more transparent and simpler for clients to calculate.
