Partial Filling of Limit Order

[Marcus88]

Hello, I am new to the IG trading platform.

I placed a limit order of £10K which was partially filled in tiny amounts but costing £8 per trade, in some cases the £8 represented 5% of the share value.

I looked how to turn off the 'Partial fill' option, and it was stated as being on the left hand side menu, then pressing settings but the only options on the Settings is :

DEAL SETTINGS - 'Show Order Preview Screen' and 'Order Type & Expiry'....both are On / Off switches

PLATFORM SETTINGS - 'alert sound' and 'Price tick indicators'

(please see attached picture)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you get an answer to this?

Hi Marcus, you can find that option in the dealing ticket window. 

From any chart click "Deal" to open the ticket. From there there is the option "Accept partial fill".

Hope this helps

[Guest Hello,]

 I am unable to see the option you have shown in your screenshot. When looking at the deal, there is no tick box with the option to accept partial fill. Can you please help?

Hi all, 
If you are on Share dealing account you won't have the partial fill box on the deal ticket.
You orders might get partially filled at the end of the session because you selected a Day limit define as  :


You can try to put a Good Till cancelled expiry to avoid your order being close at the end of the Day.

I hope that it helps !

All the best - Arvin
