GBP/USD has flattened overnight after its strongest rally in a month on Thursday. The British currency has been under pressure recently as an energy crisis has caused a number of gas providers to go bankrupt, but the hawkish tone from the Bank of England sparked some optimism into the Pound pushing GBP/USD above recent resistance at 1.3720, with Dave Ramsden and Michael Saunders, two of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members, voting for an early end to the pandemic stimulus. GBP/USD Daily Chart On the Dollar side, the hawkish FOMC meeting caused US 10-year yields to rise to their highest level since July, the biggest rise since February when inflation concerns were at the forefront of market drivers. The US Dollar has been picking up on the back of this but has lagged against the British Pound, so we may see the bearish reversal consolidate once again as GBP/USD catches up to the latest USD positioning. In the case that buyers are able to hold off the bearish momentum, GBP/USD faces an area (shaded in blue on the chart) where there has been a lot of price reversals in the past, which means possible resistance on and around the 1.38 mark. Retail trader data shows 63.58% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 1.75 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 22.87% lower than yesterday and 16.48% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 28.14% higher than yesterday and 18.01% lower from last week.

Hi @LuigiLuigi Thanks for the question There are a few differences, however these are some of the important ones to take note of. Barriers You have flexibility over leverage They are limited risk(you can only lose the premium paid to open) but the potential profit is unlimited Barriers have an expiry Turbos You have flexibility over leverage(You decide your leverage based on the KO-level) Also limited risk- you know maximum loss when you open the trade Traded on Exchange Traded 24/5 Possible to add a stop to avoid being knocked out All fees included in initial cost of open (except the commission). Overnight funding is not debited from turbo account In summary Barriers/Turbos offer flexibility over leverage, limited risk and are less capital intensive than CFDs. You can get exposure for far less than in a CFD. Hope this helps All the best Anda

Hi @LuigiLuigi Thanks for the query We price our options based on the Black-Scholes model. This is a mathematical model that will calculate option prices looking at the following variables: Value of the underlying asset, strike price, volatility and time until expiration. The model will automatically derive a price which is then displayed on the platform. This is a brief summary but you are welcome to research the model to delve into the detail. All the best Anda

Hi @LuigiLuigi Thanks for the query Profit/loss= No of contracts x Value per contract x (Option closing price - Option opening price) So in your example profit would be 100USD less the premium paid when purchasing. All the best Anda

New rates will apply to overnight funding charges
AndaIG replied to Maxprofits's question in IG Trading Support - Dealing Questions
Hi @Maxprofits Thanks for the query As the majority of Interbank Offered Rates(IBORs) will no longer exist at the end of 2021, we are replacing them with Alternative Reference Rates (ARRs). This has been proposed by regulators. The effect on overnight funding fees will be immaterial. It will be the same calculation except we will just use ARR + a credit risk adjustment factor instead of IBOR. All the best Anda -
