  1. ETFS Long SEK Short USD. I'd like to use this as a hedge against $ risk in a portfolio. Are there any overnight fees if one would like to stay in a position for a couple of months? I'd use USD/SEK futures but IGmarkets doesn't seem to offer these and the overnight funding fee makes it infeasible to stay in them over long periods of time.
  2. https://www.ig.com/en/help-and-support/cfds/fees-and-charges/how-is-funding-on-forex-positions-calculated#:~:text=A tom-next rather than,cost on a long position.
  3. https://www.ig.com/en/help-and-support/cfds/fees-and-charges/what-are-ig-s-options-cfd-product-details Is the bid/ask exactly the same as quoted by the underlying market on share options? Are the only charges the comission or is there a spread, and if there is a spread is it different from the underlying market?
  4. If I would like to be able trade from my IG-account, but utilising say a different data-provider, such as - Infront. https://www.infrontfinance.com/support-downloads/ Would that be possible, basically via that software executing trades from my IG account?
  5. I am currently looking at Swedbank AB stock, which has a margin of 10%. The current share price is at 140 SEK. D = n x C x i / 365 n=amount of stocks, c=closing price i=market rate +-2.5% is the formula that IG uses, with 360 being the divisor for markets that are not British, South African or Singaporian. So if wanted to loan a 1000 shares, the daily interest would be; 1000*140*2.5%-(0.5%*)/360= 7.78 SEK/day? Is my calculation correct, or am I wrong when it comes to the market rate? Is it STIBOR I should use, the 12 month or how do you calculate this exactly?
  6. Yes, I found their excel-spreadsheet marking which stocks are possible to short and those not. However I still don't get why I sometimes get "order rejected" on stocks that are both longable and shortable. Any ideas?
  7. I've been seeing this whilst trying to go short on certain stocks but I haven't been able to figure out why this message pops up? It usually happens with stocks that already have a high amount of short-interest on them. But even if that is the case, why is IG not letting one short these stocks?
  8. I've actually seen the LME live. Quite an interesting experience.
  9. It is quite sad, since Reuters has their principles they need to adhere to that mandate objectivity and factual reporting. https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html In 80-90% of cases they report factual reports and unbiased information, but when it comes to certain political events it's as if the editors and reporters on the stories spin flavor and saturate their own views into the story. Quite dangerous since the markets demand objective reporting and not opinion-based reporting as to make rational and critical investment decisions. I've actually thought of writing them an email regarding this issue, due to the larger amount of biased news-reporting I've been seeing lately. https://macaudailytimes.com.mo/files/pdf2017/FT-2894-2017-09-25.pdf It is in the education systems, and if Harvard is affected by this, which classically has been associated to be on the capitalistic side of the spectrum, one starts to see that this paradox is all-encompassing throughout Western-society. The riches they have amassed are indeed created by market structures, and prominent offshore havens to evade 38% corporation tax (Until Trump change that and profit repatriations have started to flow back to the U.S.*). It is thus therefor very ironic, that they are publicly outspoken and prominent champions of leftist ideologies but when it comes to business, refrain to be true capitalists. I often view the left to be a heep of caffé latte sipping drinkers, intellectuals who so to speak read the driver's manual of the car, but never drive the car and get that intuitive experience of knowledge or society. Monopoly on morality is also one of their characteristics, were being lectured on values of right and wrong creates a judgementative atmosphere, that elevates their position akin to a judge. Summarizing it, one starts to understand that they've taken for granted the riches emassed, which is the same thing they so ferociously criticize and despise - the market.
  10. I got stopped out yesterday at the SP500 after going long, I re-entered now. Given the political news oriented around the tariffs, and the positive sentiment on a Canadian deal and solid fundamentals in the U.S. I only trade long, and enter long positions when the VIX shoots higher. DAX and the E.U. is a different beast when it comes to GDP growth versus the U.S. with core inflation at 1%.
  11. I think everyone knows by this time that all tech companies based out of California are primarily leftist. You'll see leftist tendencies on Reuters & Bloomberg, but it is way more subtle and requires a trained eye. Reuters " special investigations " are filled with skewed leftism reports Problem is if you point this out your automatically assumed to be right-wing. It's as if everyone has forgotten that there are in fact other virtues at play than a political continuum.
  12. Dear @NadelinaIG. Guaranteed trailing stops serve the purpose of protecting one's capital in terms of trading on a swing-term basis. It prevents unpredictable market gaps that could erase substantial gains. Options for both trailing-stop-limit orders and guaranteed-trailing-stop-limit orders should exist as it increases the universe of possibilities in terms of executing proper risk management.
  13. Like the title suggests, can IG please add these functionalities? It is pretty sour to trade and then have everything wiped out due to a market gap.
  14. I see, but it should be included in your functionality. Guaranteed trailing stops would be very nice too.
  15. It depends on each traders individual psychological makeup. I do not feel that I am rational when I trade and watch my trades. I do planning each weekend, set limit orders, wait until they get executed and then oversee them a couple of times a day.
  16. Why doesn't IG offer to set a trailing stop to a specific limit order? Currently it only exists on market orders, and if one puts a limit order which gets filled, one has to manually put a trailing stop after the position has been executed. Is there a way to fix this or does ProRealTime have this feature?
