Margin requirements for retail clients are governed by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO), which sets the minimum margin rates for different asset classes. Margin requirements vary given the base currency of your account.

Trading bond CFDs

A bond CFD is a form of financial derivative trading. When you trade a bond, you are taking a position on the price of the underlying instrument and not purchasing the instrument itself. This means that if you feel the bond you are trading will go up in value, you would take a long position and if you feel the value of the bond would fall, you would take a short position.

Understanding bonds

A bond is a loan or purchase that the bond holder makes to the issuer. Bonds can be issued by governments, corporations or bodies that are looking to raise capital. When you buy a bond, you are effectively giving the issuer a loan in return for a bond. The issuer promises to pay you interest periodically and to return the principal amount when the bond matures.

Trade on the go

Take a position on the bond markets even when you’re on the move with the OANDA Trade apps for iPhone, Android and tablet devices. Our mobile apps enable you to react to market activity in real time and offer customizable charting, risk management and price alerts, so you never miss out on a trading opportunity.

The benefits of trading with OANDA

We are transparent about our pricing and trading fees, and offer fast execution speeds.

Pricing and liquidity providers

Our pricing engine aggregates live prices, in real time, from our liquidity providers and calculates a mid-point. A custom-built pricing algorithm automatically calculates the spread symmetrically around the mid-point for each tradable instrument on our trading platform. This mid-point fluctuates throughout the day as market prices change.

Execution

Our award-winning* trading platform is engineered for reliability and speed. This is especially important during periods of high volatility, when prices can move rapidly.

Costs of trading

Fairness and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. We are upfront about our charges and fees, so you always know exactly how much you are paying when you trade with us. That includes our costs for depositing and withdrawing funds, currency conversion fees, bank wire transfer, spreads and inactivity fees.
