FX interest EUR/MXN


Recommended Posts

Hi  @MongiIG or any one else at IG,

Just a quick question. There was no overnight FX interest applied to my EUR/MXN last night, and I also noticed on gold it was for 5 days.

I presume this week is a bit different because of Easter. Do you know if tonight is the usual Wednesday night 3X, and particularly what happens to the EUR/MXN this week?

Normally I try to avoid having any positions open that have big negative carry on a Wednesday night but wondering when that will hit this week.

Many thanks!

Hi @cate

Thanks for reaching out. 

As most pairs settle on a T+2 basis you usually pay 3 days of funding when you hold a position through 10pm on a Wednesday (paying for the weekend). As we have two bank holidays, it will cost 5 days overnight funding when you have your position open until Tuesday. 

Thanks,

Hi @OfentseIG,

Would you be able to check what is happening with EUR/MXN this week? Last night they applied only a single day of FX funding, and the night before none. I'm wondering which night the 5x rate will apply. I lifted all my other negative carry positions before 10 last night because I didn't want to be hit by the 5x charges so I don't know whether it was just EUR/MXN that was different or whether none of them did what you expected. I don't want to put everything back today and get hit with 5x interest tonight.

Thanks,

Cate

Hi @cate

We can check with the relevant team for you. How long did you have EUR/MXN open? We are unable to ask further information on your account as this is a public platform. If you are able to confirm the time you opened and closed the position, we would really appreciate it. 

Thanks, OfentseIG

Thanks @OfentseIG. I didn't want to bother you with all that.   I'm not worried about what happened,  just wondering if  tonight was going to be the 5x since it wasn't last night. But probably safest to close things down now before Easter anyway because things can be a bit unpredictable, so I've closed out my EUR/MXN positions.

Thanks again, 

Cate

    • Hi,  I started trading Brent Crude Oil in IG platform but I could find a formula to correctly calculate the size I have to put while creating a position, based on the available amount I have. The quotation is based in points and it makes me wonder how operate. Any help is welcome.  Also, I plan to work with some leverage in the future, so any tip on this matter is also welcome.  Thanks.
