Extremely baffled on currency conversion fee


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

could anyone explain how, aking into account all the conversion fee, a gain of $210 becames a gain of  £47.95 on instant conversion setting (No trade fee) ????

 

Nothing is clear or transparance in here, it seems almost a scam and nobody answer the phone nor the e-mail !!

Hi, just a quick look but can't see what's wrong, just looking at the top conversion;

USD total is $5,112.00  

so the IG conversion fee 0.5% of the total = $25.56

$5,112.00 minus $25.56 = $5086.44.

$5086.44 at the current conversion rate (off google around 0.79) = £4034.72

0.5% of value at every exchange , sell side + buy side = 1% in the meantime , currency fluctuation risks , for example buy time - sell time = 4%  loss or gain , 1% for IG + 4% exchange loss = 5% of your trade value . If your profit is 6% in USD , your profit become 1% in GBP .

    • Sorry, I didn't get it... What's Dual investment? 
    • The crypto market appears to be showing signs of recovery, with significant improvements in the Sharpe Ratios of Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum, according to an article published on Friday.  The Sharpe Ratio, a measure used to understand the return of an investment compared to its risk, has seen a notable increase for both cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's Sharpe Ratio has risen from -2.4 to 0.68, while Ethereum and BGB have also experienced a similar uptrend. This change signifies higher returns at lower risk, which is expected to attract more investors to the crypto market. In addition to the improved Sharpe Ratios, increased network activity and trading volume as shown on CEXs like Bitget, Binance, and a few DEXs are suggesting a healthier market state. The current trading prices of Bitcoin, reflect this overall positive market sentiment. As of Friday, Bitcoin was trading at $27,069.73, BGB at $0.454 and Ethereum at $1,677.89. These developments are significant as they indicate reduced risk in the crypto market. The increase in the Sharpe Ratios for Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum suggests that these cryptocurrencies are becoming less risky investments, which could potentially lead to an influx of new investors into the market.  Could this rise in Sharpe Ratios coupled with increased network activity and trading volume point towards a recovering and less risky crypto market?
