Question about Trade Analytics


mondrian

Question

Near the top of the Trade Analytics homepage, there are 3 items listed:

  • Total return from closed positions
  • P/L from closed positions
  • Total adjustments

Obviously, the first two items apply to to trades that have been closed for the selected time period.

Would like to confirm that the Total adjustments figure (commissions, overnight funding etc) applies to BOTH open and closed positions, not just closed positions.

Hi @mondrian

Thanks for reaching out. 

That is only for closed positions. 

All the best,

Thanks for your reply.
 

Are you sure about that? Let me be more specific. Total adjustments break down as follows:

  1. Commissions
  2. Overnight funding
  3. Stock borrowing
  4. Guaranteed stop premiums
  5. Dividends in & out
  6. Corrections
  7. Other adjustments

It makes sense that commissions are only included at the time of sale (not sure if the buy component is combined with that at time of sale or counted when the purchase is made). However this would be weird for ON funding, stock borrowing and dividends. It doesn't seem feasible to only include these only at the time of sale. For example if you held a position in a commodity for a year, you wouldn't see any record of the daily overnight funding until you sold. This would make Analytics useless for tracking the real day to day adjustments.

    • 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.
