Overnight funding calculator or reference table?


Recommended Posts

Does IG have something similar to the attached table? I notice a lot of brokers don't make it easy to figure out what overnight funding rates will be for a given position size in a given market. The attached table (from a broker that will remain nameless) shows the percentage rate for long and short positions as well as the cost per night for a given lot size. You can choose any given date from the past to see how rates have changed and what kind of fluctuations to expect. As you may know, funding rates can and do go from positive to negative at short notice which can be a problem for long term traders.

Hi @tonyramirez,

Unfortunately there are no such feature on the IG platform.
I will forward your feedback to the relevant department to be reviewed.

You can find information on overnight funding below:
How can I view the overnight funding rates for forex or commodities?
Why is overnight funding charged and how is it calculated?

Hi @tonyramirez,

The development team came back to me. They are working on a costs and charges calculator (which will include overnight funding) being added to the deal ticket in the first half of 2022.

    • In my opinion, higher lev is for scalpers only! For day or swing traders, either spot or lower lev is always recommended!
    • Just now, according to Glassnode data, the number of addresses holding more than 100 BTC has reached a four-month low, currently standing at 15,955.
    • Bitcoin and other major crypto experienced a dip in value on Thursday, erasing gains made earlier in the week. The decline came after the Federal Reserve signaled that interest rates would remain high for an extended period, with Bitcoin retreating 2.3% to $26.5K. Despite the bearish pressure,  the founder and CEO of Bitcoin joint mining company Xive,  Didar stated that the stagnant rate increase is positive for Bitcoin. He suggested that this could reduce the attractiveness of mainstream financial assets to institutional investors in the long term, potentially driving a new rally in Bitcoin's price. Major altcoins and exchange tokens also struggled on Thursday, with ETH changing hands at $1,585, down about 2.6% from Wednesday. Other altcoins such as BNB and BGB also experienced losses. Despite these challenges, some analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to remain within its recent range between $25,000 and $30,000. Riyad from digital asset data platform Kaiko, noted that the market needs a catalyst to mount any serious rally.  What are your thoughts?
