US 30 short position possible glitch

@pipo We’ve been through this countless times → nobody has lost money as a result of the rollover itself.

@mohsin2885 There was a platform message on Friday morning notifying that a rollover was due & a link to the help center where one could find how a rollover works, along with calculations. Not to mention the plethora of content on the community which explains the process in great detail.

Let me provide yet another example:

  1. You bought 10 US 30 at $100, the current price is $105 → thus profit = 10 x $105 - $100 = $50.
  2. The next contract is trading at $110.
  3. BUY positions → A rollover adjustment of ($110 - $105) x 10 will be deducted from your result so that one doesn’t profit “out of nothing”. If there was no adjustment, you’d made an additional $50 on top of your current $50 profit. Now, because of the $50 deduction, you’re still at… $50… exactly where you were before.
  4. SELL positions → same logic but instead of a deduction, the result will be added in order to prevent a loss.

End result is always the same → a neutral rollover.
