When clients are trading in Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on spot stock indices, if a component of the underlying stock index pays a dividend/dividend (payout) to its shareholders, your trading account will be adjusted ex-dividend at 00:00 server time on the same day, and the corresponding gain or expense will occur depending on the position you are holding and will be reflected in the account history.
When the stock index goes ex-dividend, the dividend will be adjusted in the form of fund deduction.
Clients can view the fund deduction record with the following annotation "Div & stock index name & net lot" in the account history. It is the dividend adjustment. The long lot is calculated as a "positive value," and the short lot is calculated as a "negative value". The sum of the two is the "net lot."
For example :
- If client open Buy order with 5 lots of DJ30, client can view the "Div & DJ30 & 5" dividend adjustment record in the form of balance in the account history in MT4 .
- If client open Sell order with 5 lots of DJ30, client can view the "Div & DJ30 & -5" dividend adjustment record in the form of balance in the account history in MT4.
For dividend adjustments, we will inform you via email and also publish relevant information on the official website announcement.
