Spread
The difference between the bid and the offer. On USTEC a typical spread is quoted in index points. It is the cost of entering and exiting, and it can widen when liquidity thins.

USTEC Index is a trading firm built around the US Tech 100 and the markets that move with it. Discover opportunities, understand the cost of a position before you open it, and trade without commission.
How the firm is paid
Our revenue comes from the spread, overnight funding on positions held past the roll, guaranteed stop-loss order premiums when that protection is activated, and regional fees where a market requires them.

See pricing →Cash CFDs are not futures. If you hold past the daily roll, a financing adjustment is applied — a charge or a credit — reflecting interest-rate differentials and the firm’s funding cost.
What a swap is →A guaranteed stop-loss closes at the price you set, even in a gap. The premium is charged only if the order is activated. It is optional protection, not a default fee.
How GSLOs work →The house index
The index follows the largest non-financial names listed on Nasdaq — technology, communication services, and a measure of consumer and healthcare names that trade with them. Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon and their peers dominate the weight.
You do not buy the shares. A USTEC CFD lets you take a view on the index rising or falling, sized in fractions of a lot, with margin rather than the full notional. That leverage is the source of both the opportunity and the risk.

Most losses in leveraged trading come from size, not from the idea. The academy walks through margin, the spread in cash terms, overnight funding, and how a guaranteed stop changes the worst case.
