Lightning FX SFD (Swap For Difference)
When the price disparity between Lightning FX and Lightning Spot (BTC/JPY) reaches at least 5%, a Lightning FX SFD occurs at the time of execution and is applied when the position is settled. However, it will not be granted to settlement orders.
Price Disparity is calculated as follows.
Price Disparity (%) = [Last Lightning FX trade price ÷ Last Lightning Spot (BTC/JPY) trade price - 1] x 100
SFD is calculated as follows.
SFD (JPY) = execution amount x Lightning FX trade price x SFD rate
The SFD rate is determined as follows.
