HI,

I have recently started using IG and am wondering if there is a way to display your potential profit or loss in your base account currency when trading forex with IG? 

For example, my account is in Australian dollars and when placing a sell order on the EUR/GBP my limts are displayed in GBP. 

This is not very helpful when determining your position size. Is there a way to change this?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Andrew

Seems like an unnecessary step to have to manually convert to your account currency to work out your risk... 

Have just moved from the Oanada platform as they are no longer are allowed to operate in New Zealand. Their platform does this conversion for you.  Their platform also shows distance to targets (TP/SL/entry)  and profit/loss in pips which is also useful.  note sure why IG does not do this

Hi Caseynotes,

Yes I did notice it is displayed as you place the trade. but on the Oanda platform you have a live update of how far away entry stops are in pips after you have placed the order. It also displays profit /loss in pips  as the trade progresses. 

This is the message i got from Oanda.. was a bit of a surprise! 

"Your account is locked and as of 1 December 2017 NZ regulators prevents company such as OANDA who do not hold a license to operate in the jurisdiction to cease all relationships with NZ clients who are residents. You may wish to find out more information via the NZFMA website.

Yes they are still operating outside of NZ, we had a string of large high profile investment companies collapse a few years ago so regulations were tightened up I believe.

Quick question while I have your attention, 

Is there a way to set the daily candle close time to 5pm EST? It seems to be set to my local time which is odd

@ajt143, all broker platforms are set to their home time zone, IG has UK GMT and IG Australia uses Melbourne time (I believe).  EST is US eastern standard time. Only some third party platforms offer changing the time zones so you can do that if you are using IG's version of Prorealtime or you can also do that on the Tradingview.com platform though IG don't have a dealing link up with them so you would need to use Tradingview for charting and IG's platform for dealing.

    • Shiba Inu (SHIB) experienced an extraordinary surge in January 2021, skyrocketing by 45,131%. Despite its fall from an all-time high of $0.00008845 in October 2021, data from Coinpedia Markets shows SHIB is still up by a staggering 1,028,241% from its launch price in August 2020. As of Writing Shiba Inu was trading at  0.00001308 With 1.21% Loss in the Last 24 Hours  In recent months, Shiba Inu, like many other cryptocurrencies, has been in bearish territory. However, this hasn’t dampened investor enthusiasm. According to CoinMarketCap, 80% of Shiba Inu community members remain bullish on the token’s future. Positive Sentiment and Breakout Predictions Shiba Inu’s community remains optimistic, with several analysts predicting an imminent breakout. One analyst noted the contraction of SHIB’s Bollinger Bands as a signal of potential price movement. Trader Dexter recently forecasted that Shiba Inu could reach a price of $0.00015, sparking further interest in the token. Potential Returns on Shiba Inu Investment Although some argue that SHIB may not replicate its 2021 rally, even a fraction of that growth could result in substantial gains. Let’s break down potential returns from an investment of $1,000 at different growth rates. At SHIB’s current price of $0.0000138, a $1,000 investment would buy 72,463,768 tokens. If SHIB rises by 1,000%, the price would jump to $0.0001518, turning a $1,000 investment into $11,000. A 10,000% increase would take SHIB’s price to $0.001393, yielding $100,999 on a $1,000 investment. Shiba Inu may have seen ups and downs, but its community remains optimistic about its future. With potential breakouts on the horizon and the possibility of significant returns, SHIB continues to be a token worth watching in the crypto market.
    • Over the past year and a half, Tron (TRX) has shown impressive growth, with its value increasing by 80% despite some market corrections. Here’s a quick breakdown of Tron’s price action and recent developments: Price Movement: TRX reached a high of $0.17 last month before retracing by 8%, finding support at $0.147. After some fluctuation, it currently sits in the $0.15 range, showing signs of a positive trend. Bullish Indicators: This week, TRX has posted gains, with increased trading volatility signaling a potential rebound. The daily chart suggests a “buy” signal, indicating a bullish impulsive phase may be starting. If this momentum continues, Tron coin could rise to $0.20 in the next few days. Stable Growth: Despite market ups and downs, Tron has been relatively steady, thanks to its strong DeFi ecosystem, efficient DApps, and fast transaction times. These factors help TRX remain competitive, even as new players enter the market. Justin Sun Challenges Coinbase Over PoR Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, has been vocal in his criticism of Coinbase’s approach to Proof-of-Reserve (PoR). Here's what's happening: PoR Debate: Sun expressed confusion over Coinbase’s refusal to adopt PoR, especially after the exchange launched its cbBTC product. Sun pointed out that major exchanges like Binance have embraced PoR, questioning why Coinbase considers it “unfeasible.” Transparency Concerns: Sun emphasized that the crypto community isn’t asking for perfection but simply for more transparency. He believes that revealing wallet addresses is a simple task that can foster trust within the industry, especially in the wake of the FTX collapse. Trust Issues: Sun also raised concerns about relying solely on audit firms for security, stating that being a public company doesn’t guarantee protection from bankruptcy. He mentioned the collapse of Signature Bank as an example, highlighting the need for self-regulation in the crypto space. Tron’s Long-Term Potential Looking ahead, Tron continues to show promise as a long-term investment. Its strong developer base and wide range of applications, from games to entertainment, make it an attractive option in the competitive cryptocurrency landscape. With Justin Sun pushing for more transparency and the continued development of Tron’s ecosystem, TRX remains one of the few cryptocurrencies trading steadily and positioned for future growth.
