Closing Deals Only


Recommended Posts

I found this wrong message when I want to buy some of the Shares. Closing Deals Only!! And the description is "You can only place an order to close the deal in this market". However, it doesn't matter how much you offer even if you want to buy 10% higher it will not work and get same message. It means that you couldn't buy some of the Shares in IG platform and just confuse us by wrong messaging instead of simply tell this Share is not available ! 

It is asking for further help please call Help desk that never works. I wait 2 days at least 30 min. and listen repeated voice ….. and nobody pick the phone and help you.

It's pretty bad, from what I've worked out it's basically all the top gainers, ie all the stocks you would want to trade and I think it's because IG act slightly differently in that any gain from traders comes out of their pockets so they're trying to protect themselves against any large gains you might have from volatile stocks.

What I don't understand on the SB platform is that you get the same message, but there are prices quoted for various futures contracts. I suspect but I maybe wrong that these are reserved for professional clients

I agree that its very frustrating trying to get through to ask the question and I have not seen anything in their training documentation / courses with the meaning of this

Surely the big advantage of SB is the lack of capital gains tax, and yet you are limited with what you can trade on

Very poor in my opinion

This analysis aims to assist traders and investors in understanding the underlying market dynamics and planning their strategies accordingly.       * MSFT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* The daily chart of MSFT shows the stock in a corrective phase with a zigzag structure, identified as Intermediate wave (2). Currently, the stock is witnessing a bottom formation in wave A of (2). After observing a significant top in wave (1), MSFT appears to be undergoing a corrective three-wave movement. The price level around $400, which has been attracting buyers, is anticipated to evolve into a resistance level. Traders should monitor this zone closely for potential reversal signals. * MSFT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* Moving into the 4-hour chart, the analysis continues to reflect a counter-trend with a zigzag corrective structure, highlighting the end of Wave A.

    • Recently, the Australian S&P/ASX 200 index slightly fell by 0.01%, with this fluctuation mainly influenced by the latest release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. This data not only demonstrates current inflationary pressures but also directly impacts the stock market in the short term. Senior analyst Thomas McGee delves into the impact of these economic indicators on the Australian stock market and discusses the economic logic behind this data and its potential effects on future monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Market Impact of Inflation Data The CPI data for the first quarter released today showed an annual growth rate of 3.6%, surpassing the market expectation of 3.4%. This immediate announcement led to a drop of about 0.5% in the S&P/ASX 200 index, and the market failed to recover these losses by the closing bell. Thomas McGee points out that this rapid response highlights the sensitivity of investors to inflation trends and their immediate impact on the stock market. In addition to the direct reaction of the stock market, the yield of Australian 2-year government bonds also significantly rose by 0.12%, breaking the 4.4% level for the first time since December last year. This change not only reflects the response of the bond market to the CPI data but may also indicate a cautious stance by the RBA regarding rate adjustments in the short term. Forward-looking Analysis of Monetary Policy Following the release of inflation data, the expectation on the market of the first rate cut of RBA has been postponed to after 2025. Thomas McGee emphasizes the importance of this change for investment strategies. He suggests that investors consider how changes in monetary policy will affect market dynamics when making long-term investment decisions, especially in a scenario where rates may remain elevated for an extended period. With inflation data showing higher than expected figures, the market predicts that the RBA may not cut rates in the short term, intensifying expectations of rate hikes. Thomas McGee mentions that this shift in expectations requires investors to reassess their investment portfolios, particularly in terms of fixed-income asset allocation. Furthermore, Thomas McGee notes that although the market may face pressure in the short term, this could also present entry opportunities for investors seeking higher yields. Companies that can maintain cash flow in a high-rate environment may become preferred investment targets. Addressing Challenges and Seizing Opportunities Despite the uncertainties and challenges brought by the current inflation data, Thomas McGee believes that investors can still find stable investment opportunities in this complex environment through thorough market analysis and understanding of future economic policy trends. He encourages investors to maintain flexible investment strategies while closely monitoring changes in economic indicators and central bank policies to effectively address potential market fluctuations and achieve value growth in future investments.
