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

    • I recently came across a trading bot carnival on Bitget where users are encouraged to trade EIGEN, CATI, TON, and MOODENG to share from $50,000. Though this looks enticing but I was confused, is bot trading different from copy trading? He explained that both methods trade for you automatically. Specifically, copy trading lets you copy the trade of an experienced trader, whereas bot trading follows set rules or algorithms to make trades. He recommended both as great starting points for beginners like me to get a feel for the market. I recently started exploring copy trading and now I need to add bot trading along since I want to try out the carnival and if it is better I might stick to it or what do you think?
    • The cryptocurrency market can shift rapidly, making it essential for investors to stay informed. Recently, the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) has drawn attention with its price movements. Here’s a closer look at what’s been happening and what it might mean for the future. A Look Back: The Rise of FET FET began a notable uptrend on November 26, 2022, starting from a low of $0.070. The token peaked at $3.50 on March 28, 2023. After this peak, FET entered a bearish phase characterized by a descending channel. The Correction Phase The downward movement following the peak was significant. FET's price dropped about 78%, reaching a low of $0.72 on August 5, 2024. This phase was likely a WXY correction, a common pattern in crypto trading. After this decline, the price remained stable for some time. Signs of Recovery: August Breakout On August 20, 2024, FET broke out of the descending channel, signaling a potential new bullish phase. This breakout was encouraging for investors, indicating a shift in market sentiment. Recent Performance Following the breakout, FET reached a high of $1.63 on September 20, 2024. However, momentum has slowed, peaking at $1.74 later. This slowdown can be attributed to the asset entering overbought territory, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart. What’s Next? Expected Retracement Despite the bullish signs, current trends suggest a possible retracement. This could mark the first corrective phase of the new bull market, creating a higher low. As of September 25, the price has already fallen by 18.50% from its recent high but has found support at a rising trend line. The Bullish Structure Overall, FET remains in a bullish structure, but caution is warranted. A breakout below the current support level could signal a more serious downturn. Key Takeaways FET has shown a strong recovery since its low in August, but caution is needed. The recent peak at $1.74 suggests a retracement might be on the horizon. Investors should monitor support levels to gauge FET’s future direction.

Staying informed can help you make better investment decisions in this volatile market.
    • Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Wheat advances further from the lows of July 2024 and could be starting a much stronger bullish correction that could last for several more weeks. However, until it leaves the diagonal range and breaks above the top of May 2024, traders shouldn’t write off another sell-off in the last quarter of 2024. Daily Chart Analysis Specifically, the fifth wave—designated as wave 5 (circled) of the primary degree—is forming an ending diagonal structure. This diagonal is part of wave (5), which is expected to consist of three sub-waves. Currently, wave (5) is in its second phase—wave B—reflecting the recent bounce from July's low. Once this structure is completed, a further decline is anticipated for the final leg, known as wave C of (5). Following the completion of wave (5), prices are expected to retrace the entire decline that began from 1366, a process that may unfold over several months. However, on the other hand, likely, wave (5) diagonal has already been concluded. If the current recovery continues higher above wave (4) (May 2024 high), we will confirm wave (5) of 5 (circled) as concluded at the July 2024 low. Thus, a stronger recovery that will correct the entire bearish impulse structure from March 2022 would ensue. Until that happens, one more leg lower for wave C of (5) after the current bounce for wave B completes should be considered. H4 Chart Analysis Wave B of (5) is extending higher while emerging into a double zigzag structure. Waves ((w)) and ((y)) of B have finished. Price is now in wave (b) of ((y)) of B. At least one more leg higher is expected for wave (c) of ((y)) ofB in the short term. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
