CFD positions that stay open overnight incur a small fee, relative to the value of the position. It is essentially an interest payment to cover the cost of the leverage that you use overnight. Weekend fees are overnight fees that are charged for keeping positions open over the weekend. Therefore, a weekend fee is triple the overnight fee. Weekend fees are charged either on Wednesday or Friday, depending on the asset.
Leverage is a temporary loan given to the trader by the broker, enabling the trader to open a trade of a larger size with a smaller amount of invested capital. Leverage is presented in the form of a multiplier that shows how much more than the invested amount a position is worth.
For example: If you trade with no leverage at all and invest $1,000, for every 1% move in the market, you can gain or lose $10, which equals 1% of $1,000. However, if you were to invest the same $1,000 and trade using x10 leverage, the dollar value of your position would be equal to $10,000.

The LIBOR is the most commonly used benchmark rate that is given by banks when charging other banks for short-term loans. LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. There are a total of 35 different LIBOR rates posted each day, ranging from overnight to 12 months, and based on five different currencies. IST Markets uses the 1-month USD LIBOR rate for calculating overnight fees for stocks.
