Question on "WITH" type in statement history


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I just joined IG and I created a demo account to try things out. I bought Tesla stocks and sold it at a loss. But in my statement history, there are 2 statements which has a type "WITH". I bought just 1 stock of tesla and was supposed to incur a loss of $3.23. But these 2 "WITH" statements deducted $21.22 both at a total of $42.44 total. I couldn't find any topic with this WITH type hence I created a new topic for this! I was wondering if this was because I wasn't using USD currency and it was converted from my currency?

Hi @Shermz,

Thank you for your post. 
The 21.22$ is the commission while the 3.23$ is the conversation back to your base currency.
The system will automatically convert back to your base currency. You can open a CFD account and change the base currency and have a USD account for example, in this case you won't incur conversion fee unless you are depositing and withdrawing in another currency than USD.

Hi! Could you explain how does the commission work? Doesn't seem to make sense to me on how I lost $3 but the commission is more then 10x the amount I lost. Thanks!

Hi @Shermz,

Your loss on the deal it self is not reflecting on Ledger but directly on your balance.

The commission is deducted per side, meaning if you buy and sell that equals to two sides. Hence the $21.22 x 2 roughly. Then the conversion as mentioned would be deducted twice, once from account currency to USD and once for USD back to account currency.
Your P/L is not reflecting on the Ledger.

I hope that it helps - Arvin

    • The cryptocurrency industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with the total market capitalization now exceeding $500 billion. However, the industry still faces a number of challenges, including security and on-chain efficiency which is one of the biggest challenges in the cryptocurrency industry, because in recent years, there have been a number of high-profile hacks of cryptocurrency exchanges & wallets, and traders are faced with high cost of on-chain transactions. All of which summed up to make cryptocurrency trading less efficient. In order to address these issues, exchanges are seen taking up the responsibility of solving the problems and I've seen Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, recently partnering with Cobo, a leading provider of digital asset custody and security solutions. This partnership is aimed at enhancing the security and efficiency of cryptocurrency trading, which will allow users to seamlessly execute cross-exchange transactions, enabling users to capitalise on arbitrage opportunities without having to deposit their funds directly on exchanges. This could significantly reduce on-chain transaction gas costs and make crypto investments more efficient and cost-effective. Developments like this, if it could be capitalised on would take away bad players from the industry, make crypto a safe place and increase its adoption, but how wide would it cover for the whole users in the crypto space and even Bitcoin?

    • I think bitget will be the obvious option cos binance that use to be a good option isn't finding it rosy atm with regulatory bodies and speculations around the health of the exchange aren't friendly to feel safe with them atm
