HIGH OVERNIGHT INTEREST RATES

Is it me or has the overnight interest for spreadbetters dramatically increased??

yes, search  the forum for previous discussions. Overnight funding charges  increase when the first and second futures contract price widens, when this happens you are better off trading the futures chart where there are no overnight funding charges.

It looks like it was for the weekend and the thursday night when i opened the position  it was 8 points of us crude. First time doing oil. It was 460 for weekend and 122 for the Friday

I hope it was worth it...

Guest potential ig newbie

Hi group, I was thinking of opening a CFD account with IG but before I do so I'd like to know. 

1) How often does IG change its swap rates?

2) If anyone has a CFD account, does anyone know the swap rates for the FX Minor Pair USD/ZAR; for both long & short positions?

Thanks

    • 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.
