Hi, I've been Trading every day for a while now.  Several Buy and Sell activity within a day using my Share Dealing Account.  From what I understand there are No Charges if i traded 3 times the previous month.  I do this daily!

I notice a lot of issues and my account is failing fast.  I recently bought Pinterest at a certain price.  The price is clear on my statement. As time passed I decided to get out and my Sell price was exactly the asme as by Buy price, but money back to me was short £10.

Can anyone explain what is happening?  I'm down over £200 this week getting in and out of trades.  For all I know it's been happening since I started trading.

I recently received a Statement from IG suggesting they have acrued over £1200 from me last year.  I'd like to know how.

Thanks.

Hi @nit2wynit,

There is effectively a 0.5% Foreign exchange fee :

The 3+ trades rebate is on commission, more details here.

You can change you Currency conversion settings in My IG > Live accounts > Currency conversion
If you change to manual conversion you will be able to hold foreign currencies to then buy other stock or convert when you want to withdraw funds. But the commission rebate won't apply as mentioned above.

I hope that it helps !

All the best - Arvin

Thanks @ArvinIG

Looks like I figured it all out in the end.  Now I know why my account hasn't grown since I started Day Trading instead of Swing Trading.

Given all my profits from last week away.

They say it takes 3 years to learn to trade Effectively.  I should have it nailed by the end of 21 :D

is that mean no more exchange fee?

Hi @amilio,

As mentioned above, on a share dealing account if you switch to manual conversion your commission will change but you will be holding USD, therefore you won't have exchange fee until you decide to convert back to GBP to withdraw for example.

Please refer to the link on the post above.

All the best - Arvin

    • Solana’s (SOL) price has shown signs of stabilizing, sparking hopes for a bullish reversal. Currently trading near $230, the Solana price today is approaching a critical resistance level. Technical analysis reveals that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is neutral at 48.36, signaling that bears are not in full control. A decisive close above $231, which aligns with the midline of the Donchian Channel (DC), could trigger a resurgence in buying activity. If achieved, the next Sol crypto price target lies at $259, marking the upper band of the DC. However, failure to sustain above $230 could invalidate this bullish outlook. On the downside, strong support at $203 could act as a safety net for the price of Solana. Recent whale activity has bolstered optimism. Over the past three days, large investors have increased their SOL holdings by 186%, signaling growing confidence in a potential price rebound. Also Read: Filecoin Price Prediction 2024, 2025, 2030 On-chain data reflects increasing adoption, with Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) nearing $9 billion and unique wallets surpassing 5 million. Innovations like Token-2022 and Actions API continue to expand real-world use cases, pushing Solana closer to its All-Time High of $259. Experts remain bullish, with long-term Sol price predictions targeting $600 by 2025
