Understanding IG Charges.


Guest FarisA

Question

I am new to trading on IG and I would like to better understand the charges. 

 

Recently I opened a CFD account (Australian) with $1000 AU.  I made my first trade today and sold (short) 3 shares in Tesla @ $260 US per share. The price of the stock went down and my P&L was at around  +$12 US and I closed my position. 

 

Currently my account has $976 AU in funds (down from $1000 AU) and my P&L are shown as $0. 

 

I know IG has a minimum comission of $15 US for US Shares. Could someone please walk me through the maths/detail of the charges and why the $12 US profit is not displayed? Also how do the charges change if I trade after hours?

 

Please note that I closed my position after hours (after 4pm Eastern Time). Below is a screen shot of my trades, note that the time is in Sydney (Australia) time.

Hi , thanks for the post.

 

I've asked your account manager to give you a call on Monday to walk you through the platform and any questions you have as a new trader with us!

 

Anything else please feel free to post on here.

 

Thanks,

Hannah

    • Hi guys, happy weekend! Cats TGE is getting closer, and a lot of exchanges have rolled out opportunities for users to make the most of it, especially for those who didn’t farm. I’ll be focusing on Bitget Launch Pool since I just locked some BGB.   Here’s the deal: for those who didn’t meet the requirements for the official airdrop, you can still participate in the ongoing launch pool. You can stake BGB or USDT and earn some CATS. The last time I checked, the APR was in triple digits, and the pool ends in about 6 days.   Personally, I think this is a great opportunity to get involved in the Cats ecosystem. What do you think?
    • This gives more opportunity to users to earn more from this launchpool. 
    • Hey I wanted to share my excitement about the upcoming $CATS airdrop and the Bitget Launchpool event. If you're into crypto like me, you won't want to miss this! $CATS Airdrop Claiming First off, the $CATS airdrop is happening soon, and it's super easy to claim. Exchange like Bitget have partnered with Cats to offer a gas-free airdrop on Telegram. This means you can claim your tokens without worrying about those pesky gas fees! The tokens will be automatically credited to your account before the spot trading begins on October 8th, 2024, at 10:00 UTC. But that's not all! The ongoing Launchpool This is a fantastic opportunity to farm some extra tokens. The total distribution for this event is a whopping 19.5 billion $CATS tokens. If you've participated in Launchpool events before, you know how user-friendly and rewarding they can be. Why I'm Excited As someone who has been using the exchange for a while, I appreciate their transparency and the ease of use of their platform. The fact that they are making the airdrop gas-free is a huge plus. Plus, the Launchpool events are always a great way to earn some extra tokens with minimal effort. If you're as excited as I am, make sure to mark your calendars for these dates. Happy farming and trading, everyone!
