Overnight funding costs


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I download my overnight trading costs into a spreadsheet so I can monitor my cost of trading separately from any profit or loss from the trades themselves. Normally quite easy, but last night all trading costs are showing in their original currencies (NZD, JPY etc) rather than being converted to pounds.

I'm really asking IG if this is going to be corrected, but posting it here in case anyone else monitors their cost and is going to have a heart attack assuming they've been charged £76 for holding a mini lot of USD/JPY overnight before they realised the cost was being reported in Yen!

Happy trading to everyone!

Cate

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
