IG Trading - Questions


Recommended Posts

Greetings Community members:

I've a few questions about the commodity trading (Spot Gold):

  • What are the charges if the account balance goes to negative? (Spot Gold (1$ contract))
  • What are the charges for weekend and overnight open positions for Spot Gold (1$ contract)
  • How we do get alerted for the signals published?

Hi, not sure where you are based and so which regulator you come under but in the UK and now in Australia you have negative balance protection so won't happen but under the margin rules as a trade goes further into the red and uses up your margin requirement you will receive a magin call and if you don't add funds IG will close the trade before your account goes negative.

For overnight funding see this page.

Why is overnight funding charged and how is it calculated? | IG UK

Apologies for the delayed response, I'm from AU and thanks for pointers.

Is there a way to get alerted like in email or app when signals (Autochartist and PIA) are published? I haven't looked at the api's available yet but thought would ask before exploring that path.

Hi, don't think they do alerts for the web based platform so you need to check for updates. Autochartist is available on the MT4 platform (downloaded from the Autochartist web site ) and I think that one might have alerts if memory serves.

Thanks for the note.  The IG's instructions aren't much helpful

I did some research and found out that the plug in has to be downloaded from here

Configuration steps are mentioned here https://www.autochartist.com/metatrader-plugin/index_en.html

    • Ready to Fight represents the first real attempt at bringing the global boxing community of over 50 million athletes, promoters, trainers, managers, and diehard fans into the world of decentralized social media and finance (SocialFi). It was founded by none other than heavyweight boxing superstar Oleksandr Usyk and blockchain entrepreneur Sergey Lapin. The native RTF token acts as the lifeblood of this intricately designed web3 social network. Stake RTF to access premium content and services. Use it to directly sponsor fighters you support or pay trainers for their time. Spend RTF on limited-edition boxing gear or merchandise drops. Thanks to the RTF listing on Bitget, crypto enthusiasts and boxing fans alike can now invest in and drive the rapidly expanding ecosystem. The low initial circulating supply and market cap suggests a massive upside for this first-of-its-kind SocialFi platform serving the boxing world.

    • Rallies in FTSE 100, DAX 40 and Dow have further to go Outlook on FTSE 100, DAX 40 and Dow as investors pile back in to global stock markets. Source: Getty Images Written by: Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London   Publication date: Wednesday 24 April 2024 13:48 FTSE 100 hits yet another record high A weaker pound sterling and foreign investor buying of the undervalued UK blue chip index propelled the FTSE 100 to a record high on Monday. The pound sterling bouncing back following hawkish comments by BoE chief economist Huw Pill has not put a spanner in the works with the FTSE 100 hitting yet another record high and remaining on track for its fourth straight day of gains. Minor support sits between the early-to-mid-April highs at 8,046 to 8,017. Medium-term the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the March-to-June 2020 advance, projected higher from the October 2020 low, around the 8300 mark represents a possible upside target. Source: ProRealTime DAX 40 regains lost ground The DAX 40’s strong rally off last week’s 17,400 low has gained traction and is trying to overcome last week’s high at 18,195. If overcome on a daily chart closing basis, the 8 April high at 18,329 will be in focus, together with the 4 April high at 18,429. Minor support can be spotted around the 5 April low at 18,085 and around the psychological 18,000 level. Source: ProRealTime Dow sees strong three straight day rally Since last week the Dow Jones Industrial Average regained lost ground and has risen by around 3% with the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 38,783 representing the next upside target, together with the 10 April high at 39,029. Potential slips may find support around the 38,452 March low and further down, around the late February 38,336 low. Source: ProRealTime
