Straightforward, transparent pricing
When you trade with a DMA account, you'll pay no City Index spread. In addition, you'll benefit from volume discounts the more you trade.
We charge you a standard commission and you’ll earn discounted commissions based on your trading volume. The more you trade, the deeper the discount the following month – see an example.
DMA Commission Reduction Example
If you trade $350M volume in Month 1, your commission for trades in Month 2 will be $35 per million traded.
If you trade $550M volume in Month 2, your commission for trades in Month 3 will still be $35 per million traded, since it is based on your 3-month rolling average of volume traded.
If you trade $600M volume in Month 3, your commission for trades in Month 4 will be $30 per million traded (based on 3-month rolling average of volume traded).
| Monthly Volume | Commissions per USD million traded | Reduction Standard Commission |
|---|---|---|
| $0M - $100M | $60 | 0% |
| $100M - $250M | $40 | -33% |
| $250M - $500M | $35 | -42% |
| $500M - $1B | $30 | -50% |
| $1B - $2B | $25 | -58% |

Trading DMA
Our forex DMA dealing ticket is designed to provide traders with greater visibility into the Forex market.
Typically only available to institutional traders, City Index’s DMA account gives you access to multiple levels of liquidity displayed in real time. You’ll view pricing available on either side of our order book and have the ability to place orders within the top of book spreads.
Keep in mind, this doesn't necessarily mean that the top-of-book prices will always be better than our standard pricing as factors such as size of trade and time of day can impact the tightness of the bid/ask spread.
