Spread and demo account


zerocafeine

Question

hello every one,

 

on EUR/USD in demo account, I open a position with a limit order and close the position with a limit order a few minutes later at the same entry and exit price, why don't I pay a spread in the demo account?

 

Example I bought at the price of 0,85960£ and I resold at the same price, that makes me 0£ until there all is normal, but why I did not pay of spread?

Hello and happy new year,

 

still no answer

Hi @zerocafeine

Thanks for reaching out and we apologize for the delay in responding to you. You automatically pay spread when you open a position. At the time of opening, the bid and ask price are different. For example, if you are trading a short position on EUR/USD and open at a price of 10773.2 as shown below, you would have already paid 0.3 spread as it is already included in your opening price. Therefore, same principle applies when you close. Assuming the market goes down and the ask price drops from 10773.8 to 10773.2 and you decide to close, you would have paid 0.3 spread at the closing price. In total, you paid the full spread of 0.6

Your profit/loss is calculated as

(Closing price - Opening price)x size 

Since your opening and closing price are the same, profit would be zero. 

All the best, OfentseIG

Hi everyone

 

I hope that someone will be able to answer me and give me a clear answer, I called for example the technical service of IG and I recorded the call in French and the explanation is a bit far-fetched, the interlocutor was not able to give a precise example with figures, he was contradicting himself

 

Best regards

    • 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.
