    There have been several discussions about the overnight fees charged by IG.

    This thread is intended for monthly publishing of results from algorithms that close every evening and are therefore not affected by these fees. The idea is for all algorithm providers to share their results here.

    We have one algorithm that closes every evening. The results for this will be published in the next post.

    It’s an interesting approach to avoid overnight fees, especially when we have uncertainty about how the system is going to perform. How has this system performed over the longer term? Do you have any data for the past 5 or 10 years?

    Just a question about overnight fees… If i close a position at 10 (or 11) pm for avoiding overnight fees, and i want to take it back, at what time can i take it back without having to pay those overnight fees? Can i take it back 5 or 10 minutes after the deadline ; 22h05 (or 23h05?). Or do i have to wait for midnight 00h01? or 01h01?

    Thanks for the replies

    You would need to close before 10pm (or 11pm) i.e. 10:59 as the ‘axe falls’ on positions held open at 10:00 exactly and then the overnight fees are triggered.

    My understanding is that you could then re-open the position at 10:01 without incurring overnight fees.

    However, you will pay as much in spread as you would have been charged in overnight fees.  Spread increases at exactly 10:00pm (or 11:00 pm depending on timezone)

    I’m happy to be corrected re my statement above if you work it out?

    I just scratched my post with the same answer, because, … with DAX (Eurex) and such I wouldn’t know (plus DAX is not even open at 10:01 – your time, Lucas).
    I also added to be careful for days like today, when all closes at 19:00.

    I read somewhere that overnight fees are applied at 23h02 (or 22h02) so it would be better to wait for 23h05 to reopen the position…

    A practical approach to avoiding night fees in algorithmic trading is to close positions just before the broker’s rollover time and reopen them shortly after. For example, with IG, one could close positions at 22:57 CET and reopen them at 23:03 CET, effectively sidestepping overnight financing costs.

    The Challenge: Maintaining the Same Trailing Stop-Loss Distance

    When reopening the position, an important question arises: how can we ensure the new position has the same trailing stop-loss distance as the closed one?

    Possible Solutions:

    1. Store the Trailing Stop Distance at Closure:

      • Before closing the position at 22:57 CET, the algorithm should store the exact trailing stop distance from the current market price.
      • This distance should be logged as a variable and then applied when reopening the trade at 23:03 CET.
        • How do we do this?
        • How to do that on this example algo?

    We’ve just completed an algorithm that incurs no night fees with IG.

    We’re currently testing it ourselves, and it’s available for free download on our website.
