    @Caseynotes You're quite right there are large changes in ACIS regarding margin. 

    ASIC Product intervention: OTC binary options and CFDs

    With regards to the new brokerages allowing clients to fund with Bitcoin we have heard of it but not looking to offer this payment method to any offices. 

     

     

    Thanks for the reply, can you check the ASIC link - is coming up as 'page cannot be found'. 

  2. Dax on a bit of a round trip taking off to visit R1 then back down to resistance turned support 12817 after a slight miss on the Ger PMIs. Should steady now and wait for Draghi's last ECB rate decision and presser, not likely to drop a bomb for Lagarde who doesn't mind a bit of QE herself.

    Will IG change the EU ESMA Laws after Brexit in the UK?

     

    Really need to know this as the new laws have made it virtually impossible for me to trade the way that i did before.

     

    as the Law is EU based they should definitely consider changing the law or completely get rid of it all together.

     
     

    And it looks like Australia is going to go down the same route as well and as expected the new regulations have lead to a rise in brokerages starting up in less well regulated parts of the globe. There is an interesting new twist too with some of these new brokerages using Bitcoin for deposits and withdrawals which enables them to dodge other regulations such as a need for client proof of identity and residency as well as broker 'know your customer' documentation. 

  4. Dax, Ftse and ASX had a strong day yesterday, Ftse and Dax testing near term resistance. Dow started badly with some weak earnings figures yesterday pre-market open but recovered well. Markets will be watching the EU and US Flash (early release) PMIs today, the consensus is for improvement after a series of recent monthly misses.

  5. Indices up yesterday, Oil pulling back overnight after a strong day help by low US inventory figures. Gold and Bonds up overnight, Crypto down after breaking key support yesterday.

    Busy day with Ger and EU Flash PMIs, EU rate decision and Presser. US Durable Goods and Flash PMIs this afternoon.

    Earnings today Amazon, 3M, Visa and Intel to name but a few.

    Thanks to Caseynotes it looks cleared up, but it would be good for IG themselves to confirm it. The reason im asking is that I have had conflicting information from IG on live chat whereby they said its charged on the whole amount (not just the profit) both ways

    no problem, and if you are UK resident you should also consider using a spread bet account rather than a cfd as sb doesn't incur capital gains tax.

  7. Dow dips below near term support overnight. Big earnings day with Boeing and Cat reporting pre US market and Microsoft reporting after close. Brexit stalemate continues with a general election now on the agenda while Dax sits on the monthly chart resistance level. 

    Earnings likely to be the driver today.

    Daily charts;

  8. Dow trying to push up from near term support around 26730 and near term resistance ahead at 27123.

    Dax has cleared key resistance at 12660 and looking to break Thursday's high 12817.

    Brexit vote today at 7pm should excite Ftse and gbp and ASX attempting to catch up after falling back on poor China data.

    Appreciate the reply, really helpful.

    Apologies I linked to the wrong IG US site, I am in the UK and my account is in GBP.

    This exctract from the UK page where the fx charge is mentioned:

    If you are UK based with a GBP account that's better because then you can use the Bitcoin (GBP 1) instead of the Bitcoin ($1) deal ticket so for a 1 contract short when the spread is 36 you sell at £1/point and enter, your account will show a £36 loss (which is the spread or the 'cost of the trade') and you will need to see price go down over 36 points before you start to show a profit.

    If you are holding the trade overnight then the interests costs or 'overnight funding' come into play, not sure if they use a conversion fee if it's the GBP not the $ deal ticket, and for shorts you may be paid the interest rather than paying as you would for a long.

    Jump on the demo platform and have a play around with the inputs is a good way to learn.
