Thanks Griffer

 

All of my positions were in USD as well.  Like I said, I have been using IG markets for 10 years to do all of my trading.  I have never had any issues and for the most part it has been a brilliant trading platform.  I believe this is due to internal adjustments of markets and (I hope) that positions will be reopened at whatever the spot price is for the relevant crypto currency.

I have checked the daily statement that is automatically generated and I am comparing the 31 Dec 17 vs the 01 Jan 18 (I am in Asia timezone). The statement shows a list of trades under Trade Recaps, same underlying (I had several mini-bitcoins) but all different closing prices. Odd...

I guess we will have more visibility once they open in Australia. Their helpline is likely to be flooded with calls.

We need to calm down guys. They probably should have sent an email saying they were going to close all positions and reopen them later. 

 

Still they have sent an email saying they will #1 Open bitcoin gold, so why would they close all our positions including bitcoin gold? #2 They are consolidating their crypto positions and getting rid of the big and the mini contract.

Good news, my positions have reappeared.  It seems they have scrapped the mini contracts and replaced with USD $1 contracts.

 

I will sleep much better tonight!

Is there an expiry for ether CFD? Do we need to enable roll over? I'm intending to hold my position for longer term, and afraid if there's any expiry for my position. I don't want my position to be closed unexpectedly.

So everything has been re-instated. I guess they could have communicated better. 

The new contracts are essentially US$ based, with a minimum size of $50 for BTC. I think this is hugely bullish for crypto, and especially for BTC, as it enable investors to get exposure for fractions of BTC, similar to a stock split.

There shouldn't be any expiry, but you need to carefully watch the length of time you remain invested. Remember that you get charged a daily margin rate, and for crypto it is not cheap (0.0416% per day, that is more than 15% cost per annum). While crypto goes up in leaps and bounds, that's ok, but the year btc only goes up 10%, you essentailly book a loss.

    • Dow, Nasdaq 100 and Nikkei 225 all fall back after hawkish Fed decision The Fed’s ‘hawkish pause’ has sent markets into a tailspin, with stocks falling as investors contemplate the prospect of a much longer period of higher interest rates in the US. Source: Bloomberg  Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 21 September 2023 11:43 Dow slumps following Fed decision The index saw a substantial reversal yesterday, and has moved back towards the lows of last week. The 100-day SMA could now provide some support, but below this the 34,000 level and the 200-day SMA could also see some buying emerge. A revival above 35,000 would be needed to secure a more bullish short-term view. Source:ProRealTime Nasdaq 100 gives back more gains Losses continue here, with yesterday’s drop further eating into the gains made from the August lows. The price is currently sitting on the 100-day SMA, and a close below this opens the way in short order to 14,690. Below this the August low at 14,500 comes into view. From here, the next major level to watch would be the August 2022 high at 13,722. A rally above 15,300 would be needed to suggest that the buyers have succeeded in reasserting control. Source:ProRealTime Nikkei 225 sees further losses The drift lower of earlier in the week has turned into a more dramatic move lower. This has put the sellers back in control. Below the 50- and 100-day SMAs, the price then moves on to target 32,076, and then to the August low at 31,295. Buyers will want to see a move back above 33,000 to suggest that the selling has been halted for the time being. Source:ProRealTime
    • Brent crude oil, gold and natural gas prices drop post hawkish Fed pause Outlook on Brent crude oil, gold and natural following Fed’s hawkish pause. Source: Bloomberg  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 21 September 2023 11:27 Brent crude oil comes off its ten-month high The price of Brent crude oil continues to come off Tuesday’s ten-month high at $94.97 while the US dollar once more appreciates, exerting a slight downward pressure on the oil price, and as the Fed delivered a hawkish pause. Support can be spotted around the $90.97 early September high ahead of the psychological $90.00 mark. Resistance lurks around Tuesday’s $93.32 low. Further up lies this week’s ten-month high at $94.97 and the mid-September 2022 high at $95.19. Source: ProRealTime Gold comes off yesterday’s $1,947 high Gold rallied back towards its $1,953 per troy ounce early September high but only managed to reach $1,947 before it came off again as the greenback continued to appreciate following hawkish comments at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1,925 is currently being probed as support, below which the 6 September low at $1,915 may also act as minor support. Minor resistance above the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1,932 sits at Tuesday’s $1,937 high. Source: ProRealTime Natural gas comes off this week’s six-week high Natural gas prices recently shot back up to the $3.000 mark on weather and production concerns but are currently slipping back from this week’s high at $3.021. A slip through Wednesday’s $2.857 low would put Monday’s low and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2.800 to $2.791 on the map. Immediate resistance is seen at the early September high at $2.904 ahead of last and this week’s highs at $2.973 to $3.021. Slightly further up sits the August peak at $3.050. Source: ProRealTime
