Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
Read on Saxo's own reference page on 12 Oct 2026: method, path, parameters and response fields. The inner fields of NetPositionBase and NetPositionView are not shown in the mock. Saxo lists the permission needed as Read.
