Related questions
Q: Does Pluang charge a fee to hold an Options position?
No. There is no custody, holding or daily fee on an open Options position; fees apply only when you open or close. The contract's value does change over time, as time decay erodes the premium towards expiry, but that is market movement, not a fee.
Q: Is the currency conversion fee part of the Options fee?
No. Options trade in US dollars, so converting IDR to USD to fund a trade costs 0.25% plus 11% VAT, charged at the conversion rather than on the trade. If you already hold a USD balance, no conversion fee applies.
Q: Is the premium a fee?
No. The premium is the market price of the contract, not a charge from Pluang. It is usually the largest cost of opening a position, and the premium multiplied by 100 shares and the number of contracts is the trade value the percentage fees are calculated on.
Q: How much income tax will I pay on an Options trade?
Income tax applies to every Options transaction, and the amount for your order is shown on the order review screen before you confirm. For how to report Options income in your annual tax return, ask a tax professional or check guidance from the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP).
