Plus500 utilises live prices directly from the recognised market where the underlying instrument is traded. A small fixed adjustment premium is then applied to the market mid-price to arrive at the Plus500 quoted price. Details of the adjustment can be calculated by subtracting the buy price from the sell price of the instrument.
