Hi Gurus,

I use the IG  Web platform to do my TA's and Share Trading, can someone kindly help on how to navigate to the screen where I set the Trailing stop on an existing position.

The Screenshot of the page needed is attached.

Regards

Hi, you can add a trailing stop to the leveraged platforms from the deal/order ticket as per your pic or from the positions screen by clicking on the stop numbers box for an existing position.

Trailing stops aren't available on the share dealing platform as yet. IG only uses order types that are available on the actual exchange and most share dealing exchanges don't do them. IG does recognise that other brokers do provide them by adding their own algo to the order and say they will look to provide the same but haven't quite got round to it yet. 

Also stop orders can generally only be set after the entry order has been triggered (share dealing platform).

yes the first pic is for the leveraged platforms (spread bet and CFDs) which do have trailing stops and the pic in your last post is from the share dealing platform for which trailing stops aren't yet available.

Stops can be added or altered from the Positions tab on the left hand side of the screen see pic

    • This week should give a good picture of how the economies of many countries are doing.
    • Look into possible opportunities and use technical analysis to figure out where to get in and where to get out. Use risk management to make sure that each trade is profitable.
    • Micron Technology is poised to post a loss of 66 cents per share on another drop in revenue. Three months ago, sales fell 41% to just over $4 billion.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 28 March 2023  The chip industry is still suffering from distortion originating from the Covid-19 pandemic. Orders soared during 2020 and 2021 to supply a technology boom, pushing Micron and other chip makers to produce more. Now, in the context of fears of a recession, they are left with excess inventories and are being forced to wind down their capital investment budget.   Micron earnings Tonight after the close of Wall Street we've got an all-session stock reporting earnings, which could be interesting. It is the chip company, Micron Technology. It's poised to post a loss of $0.66 per share. Revenue is expected to continue declining to $3.75 billion. Three months ago, sales fell 41%, just over $4 billion. So it's on this downward trajectory. As I say it is an all-session stock on the IG platform. You'll be able to take a tilt at this in the markets after the close. It will open at 9:00 this morning, UK time at 60.08, that's $60.08 a share. Share price chart Look at the pressure the stock has been under.
