i spoke to mf global.... they say comm: 0.2% finance 3% :(

I talked to my broker. 

The retail commission is actually 0.3 % . Very high. Ig markets is only 0.2 % 

If you are a volume trader, they will lower it.

its sibor +2%, not just 2%

This is per annum, so you need to divide by 365 days to get the per day interest. 



fools_gold      ( Date: 27-Oct-2010 17:43) Posted:

does it mean there is a 2% interest when you buy and keep the shares?

fools_gold      ( Date: 27-Oct-2010 17:42) Posted:

Yes BT, im referring to CFDs. Then Il go to MFGlobal then. What does this mean "Financing is sibor +2% for long positions with MF"?

They could be hedging against their call options.

 Are you also looking at the LVS chart? Look at the long white candle last night.

Hi fools gold, you are looking at CFDs yes?

I am with MF Global, opened account last year. Wanted to switch to Ig markets or Saxo recently, but MF Global lowered commission from 0.18% to 0.165% so I decided to stay with them. Financing is sibor +2% for long positions with MF.

Ig Markets offering 0.2% commission, financing 2.5%  (retail investors)

 Saxo offering 0.22% commission, financing 3%  (retail investors)

BT, which broker are you trading under?

Do you personally recommend Saxo? Their commission based on their website is 0.20 I believe.

Try to hunt around for the best commission.

For a regular trader, low commission is very important. My current commission is 0.165 % means 0.00165

I saw that their rating is only 5, indicating weak fundalmental and MACD also show Bearish. But BT have mentioned this morning that the trend is still Bullish.

POEMS charging .0028 

so i did my maths,and i realised, after exit and entry, cutting my holdings by half. i made a net loss today.

had i just sell half my holdings at 2.13, i would actually profit from not buying in again at 2.12.

i sold all at 2.13, buy in half of what i sold at 2.12. total net loss for today should be $10.
