[Overnight charges]

In my history of trades I understand why I see an overnight charge. What I don't understand is when I get a credit seen as  (DEPO).

Hi @Cedric,

Thank you for your post. 

By Depo do you mean the margin requirement?

The maintenance margin, also known as variation margin, is extra money that we might need to request from you if your position moves against you. Its purpose is to ensure you have enough money in your account to fund the present value of the position at all times – covering any running losses.

In my history of the trades I get an overnight charge but sometimes I get a credit (DEPO) Why is this ?

I can understand the charges for an overnight trade. But how does the DEPO work ???

Hi Caseynotes, Thanks for your help. I did what you suggested and this is what I received :-

Oder submitted                What then happened.   Where did I go wrong ?

[Stop loss/trade]

Thanks again. Yes I think I follow what you suggest. I have tried to find how to do this by looking in the ACADEMY tutorials buy without success unless of course (most likely) I'm looking in the wrong place.

I thank you again for your speedy reaction and explanation.

Sorry about that. At the moment I'm using the Demo CFD but I would probably want to use it on the Spread bet if possible. Thanks for your speedy reply.

I just posted a message and stated that I was unable to find the 'net off' and the 'force open'. What I meant to say was how you I use them?

[Stop loss/trade]

If the price is 5000 and I put a stop at 5010 or 4090, how do I a buy or a sell at the same time at 4090 or 5010. As an added thought, can I repeat this so that as it reaches the stop and the new trade is initiated the new instruction is also initiated.

I have been told that IG does give the chance to 'net off' meaning if you are long 5 contracts and you sell 10, you should be left with a net short position of 5 contracts. The have a 'force open' option as well just in case you want to keep long and short position in the same product simultaneously. I am finding this very difficult to understand plus the fact that I can't find 'net off' or the 'force open' on my IG dealing form.

I hope you can understand my thinking and would appreciate your help in a way I can understand.

Thank you.....CedyB

The price is at 5.000 and I put in a stop or a guarantee stop at 5.010. How do I trade a buy  at the same time as the stop at 5.010 is initiated?

[MACD]

How do I get MACD directly onto my chart as opposed to it being under the chart?

[Spread Bet/CFD]

Apologies I obviously didn't check it. Yes, both accounts are IG. My objective is to have a joint a/c. I am quite elderly so by having a joint account she can then take it over when I move on to a happier place.

[Spread Bet/CFD]

I have written to IB but no reply! My daughter has an active Spread Bet a/c. I have an active CFD a/c. Do I have to change my a/c to a Spread Bet a/c. What do I have to do in understandable steps:- 1. 2. 3.......
