I wouldnt go as far to say IG are crooks, but i moved away from them for that exact reason, any trades you have opon overnight are closed and repoened, their overnight funding rates are expensive.

And tracking trades which are negative is made harder aswell.
Thats how the overnight rate is calculated. Other MM do it maybe in another way but CMC also does it like that. If you look at the rollover buy back, its slightly higher and thats where the overnight fee is charged. Eg

U bought Eurusd @1.3280
Market closed @1.3300 overnight
MM sells @1.3300
MM buys back @1.33001

That 0.00001 is the overnight fee.

Its like how paypal includes their fees in their rate and some ppl dont realise that and accuse banks of charging international exchange fees but their rates are actually better.

IF im wrong, then feel free to correct me!! Thats how i understand it.

STAY THE **** away from IG markets, its a big scam. They bet against theyre own clients, i KNOW i lost 75% of my tradingcapital with these filthy crooks! They take youre money and find some strange excuse to do so, close youre account today is my advice.
They (IG Markets) are definitely not a big scam. That is an absurd thing to say. You most probably lost 75% of your capital due to your own stupid trading decisions. You need to take responsibility and not be so quick to blame others.

The post you quoted was from a newbie, who started trading forex without doing any research into the basic mechanics of the market, which is evident by him/her being shocked by a rollover occurring, and then implying this was at least in part to blame for their realised loss. Crazy logic, in my opinion.

I've been with IG Markets for a couple of years and, aside from the odd pip or two slippage on the occasional order, I've no real gripes with them. They're not my favoured broker for spot trading, but they are more than adequate a place for one to hold a sub-account with.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that they close the clients trade at the close of the market, and then open another trade in (almost) the same place?

This is from a cmc account. I bought usd/jpy previously. It sold first and bought back at the exact time.

The fee is about US$2.28 for US$25.4 per pip for overnight. Which is about 1 pip every 10 days i hold overnight. Is this overpriced? Wat do other mm charges?

no bounce ahead.... ?
Accumulation looks like bounce upside now but might just want to try touch fib 76.4 and get rejected.

Might be a little bit choppy fora while. Myself expected to it go around 1.3220 and rebound there. Might still happen.
They think they are smarter than I am.

So let me get this straight....just in case I'm real stupid!!

If I want to go long right here, right now, and my target is 1.4000.....because I trade long term. My SL would be (say) 1.3100. Let's suppose that in the next hour the PA drops 80 pips and stays there until market close. You're telling me that they will close my trade at -80, and then open another trade for me??? Tell me that I've got this all backwards, please!

Possibly, it may be a good short in a few.

Its an automated system. If they "close" your trade, they will buy/sell it back at exactly the same time. Its like a transaction fee. They wont "close" your trade and thats it. Its like an accrual. Theres always two transactions. Check your log. I dono which mm u use but thats how mine works :S.

Ohh ok....I see...thanks. So what they take is (more or less) 1 pip as a rollover fee, but the original trade stays as it was?

1 pip overnight is quite high, mine is 0.1 pip but its different for others. I believe its based on interest rates of the currency u buy as well.

well if it is that case, does the spread include while they doing the buy and sell transaction? It would be suck if u are 40pips in profit but turns out to be 38pips lol

Will NY come in with the firepower to go up? Correlation to oil alone should have this trading at 1.3295.

EUR yields seem to be moving back up also.
