Hello,

New here.  Can somebody explain how the change and % change computed in the watchlist?  I guess I want to know if it's in pips and what timeframe was it computed from?  thanks in advance. :)

Hi @GrinTense

The change is the price change in points. The percent change is that change in percentage form. There is no time frame, but the percent change only changes if the change in the price is equivalent to 1 basis point or more. All the best, OfentseIG

Hello OfentselG,

Thanks for the response.  However, I'd like clarification.  When you say points is this the same as pips? Also, I don't understand how can a price change be not based on a time frame?  It seems to me that there is no way to compare price when you don't reference it to a time period.  Unless.... it's based on real time ticks?

I think i also don't understand basis points so if you can direct me to a link in IG or outside to understand it better?

Hi @GrinTense

The change and percentage change you see is measured on a daily time frame. We get these from our data providers. This measures the change from midnight until now and constantly changes after midnight. I hope this answers your question. 

On the IG platform, the change in points is equivalent to pips. In GBP/USD, for instance, 0.0001 is one pip. Let’s take a look at the EUR/USD currency pair. If the market moves from 1.1600 to 1.1601, that 0.0001 increase would be a single pip move. IG would normally refer to it as 1 point movement. 

All the best, OfentseIG

Hi @OfentseIG

On the same topic - is there an issue with the Change & Change%? On my watchlist shares (not forex) it now appears the change is reflecting a weekly change and not the daily change? Some seem accurate whilst others are way out (e.g. ACP). Is this due to your figures coming from a third party?

Also, on opening a chart into the workspace whereas it used to show the daily change as well as the chart time period change, it now only shows the chart time period change?

Thanks

Owen

    • Solana ($SOL) is facing a challenging period in the market, with its price dropping to $130.56 USD. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening and what might be next for SOL. Recent Price Decline 15.17% Drop in a Month: Over the past month, Solana coin has fallen by 15.17%. This decline reflects the broader market’s pressure on the cryptocurrency. 8.5% Weekly Fall: Just this week, Solana saw an 8.5% drop, a sign that bears are firmly in control. Despite attempts to maintain a bullish outlook, the market seems to have different plans. Critical Support Levels Breakdown of $134 Support: Recently, SOL broke through the $134 support level, raising concerns that further declines could be on the way. Key Support at $122: The $122 level is now under the spotlight. This price point has been tested six times, and many whales view it as crucial. A break below this could push SOL towards $90. But if this support holds, it might set the stage for a bullish turnaround. $100 Support: While the $100 support level is still a bit distant, it’s essential to watch if the current bearish momentum continues. Revisiting this level could spell trouble for Solana. Changing Market Sentiment Shift to Bearish: The overall sentiment around Solana is slowly turning bearish. Since March, SOL has struggled to make new highs, and the current price action suggests that new lows could be coming. Potential Bullish Outcome: However, some analysts believe that if Solana manages to stay above $122 throughout 2024 and 2025, it could be incredibly bullish for the future, possibly leading to significant gains in 2025. Upcoming Breakpoint Event Historical Price Surges: There’s a potential catalyst on the horizon. Historically, Solana has seen price surges two weeks before its annual Breakpoint event. In previous years, SOL surged by 35% in 2021 and 2022, and by 60% in 2023. 2024 Event: With 16 days left until the 2024 Breakpoint event, could we see another rally? Only time will tell. The Importance of $122 Support As Solana approaches the $122 support level, all eyes are on whether it will hold. A break below could lead to further declines, while maintaining this support could bring back some bullish momentum. As always, stay informed, and remember the old adage in crypto: "buy the rumor, sell the news." Keep watching the charts as we near the 2024 Breakpoint event.
