Why were bets auto rolled early?

Question

I had a couple of bets on the Coffee Arabica September contract recently, total position was short £0.88 in the DEMO environment. You can see from the first screenshot that the expiry was 22 August 2023

My positions were rolled at 19.35 on 21 August though, see second screenshot. Can someone from IG tell me why they were rolled 24 hours earlier than expected please?

Thanks

Hi @bug-or-feature, When a rollover is done on an Indices/commodities/bonds and rates position the initial position is closed at the official closing level of the day, before the last dealing day of the contract, +/-closing spread. The new position in the next contract opens at the official closing level of the new contract, in the same day, +/- opening spread. 

This information can be seen under the info tab > Rollover

Let me know if you have any further questions.

All the best,

    • Gold and silver prices weakened on Monday; XAU/USD inches closer to key rising support, while XAG/USD might have more room to consolidate.   Source: Bloomberg   Gold Silver XAG/USD XAU/USD Commodities Forex Daniel Dubrovsky | Currency Analyst, DailyFX, San Francisco | Publication date: Tuesday 26 September 2023 07:32 XAU/USD technical analysis Gold and silver prices have continued lower amid the rise in longer-term US Treasury yields and a stronger US dollar. As a result, how is the near-term technical landscape evolving in precious metals? Gold continues to trade in a directionless flow from a near-term technical perspective. Prices are consolidating between the falling trendline from July and rising support from February – see chart below. Broadly speaking, XAU/USD remains unchanged form levels seen in mid-2020. With each passing day, the yellow metal is running out of room to consolidate between support and resistance. As such, the direction of the breakout could be key for the coming trend. Below, watch the August low of 1884.89. Above, resistance seems to be the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 1971.63. Gold daily chart   Source: TradingView XAG/USD technical analysis Meanwhile, silver faces a similar setting. Like gold, XAG/USD is consolidating between rising support and resistance. The difference here is that there is still plenty of room left for sideways price action. As such, XAG/USD could be left directionless for a longer period of time than gold. Silver’s drop on Monday has brought it to the midpoint of the Fibonacci retracement level at 23.02. As such, it is also sitting just above rising support from the end of last year. A meaningful breakout likely entails a push under the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 22.29. That exposes the 78.6% point at 21.24. Otherwise, a turn higher places the focus on the 38.2% level at 23.75. Just above that is the falling zone of resistance since May.

    • Reading through this, I think this collabo is gonna increase users trust and confidence in trading on the platform knowing that their assets has another layer of security
    • After rallying on Monday, the Nikkei 225 led the Asian session lower overnight, reversing hopes that losses for Japan had been halted. Rising yields across the globe have driven losses in stocks, though US stocks struggled into positive territory at the close yesterday as some of the selling pressure of the past week eased. However, the theme of higher yields is likely to continue to keep pressuring stocks, resulting in more losses in what is often a difficult period of the year for equities anyway. US lawmakers continue efforts to try and find a short-term funding solution that will avoid a government shutdown. Futures point to a weaker open for Europe and the US, with little heavyweight macro data to detract from the focus on higher yields.
