The adjustment is calculated below. Financing charges/credits are a function of four variables:

- Financing Interest Rate

- Days in Financial Calendar Year (360 or 365) depending on the instrument
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Spread Co does not charge financing for holding short index and equities positions nor does Spread Co charge financing on futures contracts.

Positions above standard size will be rolled at relevant bid/offer prices at the time of the roll depending on whether a long or short position is held. Additional charges from executing in the underlying market incurred by Spread Co may be passed on to you
