Its showing 2 trades have loss of 16.3  & 16.8 and one has profit of 0.2 - so total loss should be -32.90. but why its showing -45.03 at the bottom in total ? 

 

Help me to understand this. 

 

Thanks

Hi @HarishM,

You P/L is showing -45.03 because of the currency difference, it is in USD.

Once you are on this screen you can click on the filters next to " Market" as below:

If you change your P/L in GBP it should add up with the number you see per rows.

I hope that it helps.

Hi @HarishM,

In your case it's showing up as GBP because your contracts are in GBP :

If you use open USD contracts you will have your P/L for each positions on USD. Unfortunately we can't change the P/L per position to USD.

I hope that it helps.

I understood. Thanks.

 

One more question, How can I change time zone in My IG's mobile app and Desktop site ? 

 

Thanks. 

Hi @HarishM,

The time zone is synchronised with your account location. A UK client will have UK time, AUS clients AEDT and so on. 

Therefore you won't be able to change the time zone.

I will forward your feedback to the relevant department.

All the best - Arvin

Hi @HarishM,

If you right click in the ‘marketwatch’ window and then select ‘show all", does it appear?

Please be aware that due to licensing constraints IG  we’re withdrawing all products, including binary options, on the India 50 on Friday, 1 July 2022.

A restriction on opening trade was placed on  Friday, 1 April 2022.

Thank you - Arvin

    • 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?
