- Minimum deposit
- No minimum deposit or minimum balance is required for a UK account or a Standard OANDA Global Markets account. Premium tiers and some regional products have separate qualification thresholds.
- Spreads
- The UK pricing page publishes EUR/USD spreads from 0.6 pips. Spreads are variable and depend on instrument, trade size, market liquidity, platform and entity.
- Commissions and other charges
- Most UK FX and index CFD costs use spreads plus overnight financing and possible currency conversion. UK share and ETF CFDs charge 0.06% of notional on opening and 0.06% on closing. Other entities and account tiers differ.
- Execution and pricing
- OANDA derives prices from liquidity providers and relevant reference markets, applies product-specific adjustments, and fills orders at its best available price. Slippage and market gaps remain possible.
- Maximum verified leverage
- Up to 1:200 for qualifying Australian professional clients and selected tier-one positions under OANDA Global Markets. UK retail major-FX leverage is capped at 1:30. Actual leverage is entity-, product-, size- and classification-specific.
- Margin close-out
- The verified UK and OANDA Global Markets rules use a 50% maintenance threshold, but liquidation differs by sub-account. V20 may close all open positions, while OANDA One and OANDA Global Markets generally close the largest losing positions first.
Leveraged FX and CFDs can cause rapid losses. On the verification date, OANDA Europe disclosed that 76.6% of retail CFD accounts lost money. The figure and protections are entity-specific and may change.
