Dividends Adjustment
This section allows brokers to process dividend payments for traders holding open CFD positions. Brokers can apply dividends either to a specific trade server or, if operating multiple servers, to all orders across multiple trade servers. Traders can also be notified about dividend payments through push notifications in instant messaging apps. The applied dividends values are calculated at the scheduled time for the operations job, not at the moment of the job creation.
Navigate to Dealing Operations in the left-side menu.
⚠️ To choose which fields are available for configuration, go to Dealing Operations → Settings and enable the desired fields along with their threshold values.
⚠️ Before proceeding make sure you selected the desired symbol groups to be applicable for the operation in the Dealing Operations → Settings → Symbol Groups section

Parameter Descriptions
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Server | Select the server where the dividend operation should be executed. |
| Dividends from CSV | Turn this switch ON if you are uploading a CSV file. See the CSV upload process below for details. |
| Symbol | Choose the symbol. |
| Collect Symbol Suffixes | Turn ON to group symbols with suffixes (e.g., EURUSDc, EURUSDd, EURUSDcents) under the main symbol (EURUSD). Turn OFF to display them separately. |
| Long Dividends | Can be positive or negative: Positive values mean dividends are accrued, negative values mean dividends are deducted, and 0 means no accrual. |
| Short Dividends | Works the same way as Long Dividends, but applies to short positions. |
| Long Tax % | The tax percentage applied to the accrued dividends. If dividends are 0, tax will also be 0. |
| Short Tax % | The tax percentage applied to the accrued dividends for short positions. |
| Delayed | Turn ON to schedule the dividend operation for a future date/time. If OFF, the operation will be executed immediately. |
| Applied Date | Select the time and date for the operation and enter any relevant comments. ⚠️ Dividends can only be accrued when the trading session for the instrument is closed. |
| Dividends Deal Comment | By default, the system fills this field as "Div.Adjustment for #SYMBOL", e.g., Div.Adjustment for AUDUSD. You can customize it using the format "#SYMBOL_dividend position #POSITION_ID". |
| Use Conversion Rates | Turn ON if you need to apply a custom conversion rate instead of the actual market rate. Select currencies and enter the desired rate. |
| Check Margin | If ON, the system checks if the dividend accrual will result in a stop-out. If OFF, the operation proceeds without verification. |
| Allow Dividend Accrual During Trading Session | When enabled, dividends are accrued and applied to open positions during the active trading session. When disabled, dividend accrual is postponed and processed outside of trading hours, even if positions remain open. This setting allows brokers to control whether dividend adjustments affect equity and margin calculations in real time or only after the trading session ends. |
⚠️ If any errors or incorrect data are present, the "Preview and Schedule" button will be inactive.
