Other Trading Basics

Commission
A charge levied on a client to place trades in certain asset types. FX and CFD trading attracts commission.
Commercial Paper
How big companies finance short-term cash flow.
Like bonds but without the coupon, instead, the APR is determined by the discount the agreements are entered into and the length of time to repayment.
For example, a blue chip company might borrow $9.95m dollars today and repay $10m in a month’s time.
