Zum

Question

HI ,could some shed some light on two incidents ,within 2 seconds of each other , last Thursday

I noticed on the ASX, I had two transactions that triggered nowhere near the stop GTC's I had set
 
The First MAH  I set 0.164 on the 21/05 but it sold today at 0.2575  +63%
 
The Second is GSS I set 1.398 on 04/05 but it sold today at 2.04 +68%
 
Got the flick from two of my better stocks, what if anything can I do about it.IG brushed me off saying it was "positive slippage"
but it was nowhere near my set stop

Update : IG now agrees there is a discrepancy and is going to investigate it.

Likewise for me, sent details of the trade to the IG support email team.  Was promptly called back today and have had the issue resolved.

I'm a trader for 7 years now and I experimented on different platforms with different brokers .I have a demo account with IG because I want to open a live account , they have a good reputation but I also do my own checks so I tested the platform and it actually triggers early anything not only stop losses but also any new deals doesn't matter if they are short or long ..I've seen this before, that's a little scam that brokers are not allowed to do it but they still do thinking all the clients are stupid and they would not observe..their interest is for you to open as many positions as possible because that's where they are actually gaining money ..from fees..they don't care if you lose or win as long as you keep opening new deals all the time..and yes if you can prove it which is easy (place any new deal and record it)..you can actually take legal action against them..

    • GX Uranium ETF (URA) Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Impulse for wave A (circled) Position - Wave (4) of A (circled) Direction -  Wave (4) is still in play Details -  A bearish impulse from 33.69 is emerging for wave A (circled) and we should see further decline. Overview of GX URA ETF   The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, is designed to reflect the performance of companies operating within the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms engaged in uranium mining, exploration, and production on a global scale. As nuclear power is increasingly recognized as a cleaner energy alternative, the potential for increased uranium demand grows, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to capitalize on the sector's growth.   Daily Chart Analysis Analyzing the daily chart, the GX Uranium ETF completed a bullish impulse wave cycle in May 2024, reaching $33.69, up from $17.70 in July 2022. This represented an impressive gain of over 88% in 26 months. From an Elliott wave perspective, such a substantial rise is typically followed by a bearish correction. Since peaking at $33.69, the ETF has been undergoing a downward correction. Ideally, this would involve a three-wave bearish correction. Currently, the ETF appears to be completing the first wave of this correction, known as wave A (circled). After this wave concludes, a corrective bounce is expected for the second wave, followed by another downward move in wave C (circled), which will complete the corrective phase.   Alternatively, there is a possibility of a bearish impulse wave decline that could drive the ETF price back down to $17.70 or even lower. This scenario is plausible because the initial impulse sequence to $33.69 marked the completion of wave (c) of a supercycle degree within a larger bullish corrective cycle that began in March 2020. Given that both forecasts indicate a further decline, it is reasonable to expect the ETF to fall to at least $25 in the coming weeks.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the bearish impulse wave from $33.69 is still unfolding and is currently in wave (5). There is potential for further extension towards the $27-$28 range, where wave (5) is expected to conclude. Following this, a bullish correction for wave B (circled) could occur, providing a temporary relief before the next phase of the bearish correction sets in.   Summary Overall, the GX URA ETF's recent performance and technical analysis suggest that investors should prepare for potential downward movement in the near term while considering the long-term opportunities presented by the uranium sector's growth potential.

DIRECTION: Bottom in wave (iv). DETAILS: We see volume increasing on the moves up of wave (iv) which gives us additional confirmation we are in a corrective phase.   This Elliott Wave analysis for Walmart Inc. (WMT), examines the current market structure and potential future movements using Elliott Wave principles. The analysis provides insights from both the daily and 4-hour charts to offer a detailed understanding of WMT's price action and anticipated trends.   * WMT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* We are looking for a continuation of the five-wave move into Minute wave {v}. Given that wave {iii} was near the equality of wave {i}, there is an expectation for an extension in wave {v}. The recent surpassing of the 0.618 projection of {v} compared to {iii} suggests that the next target is the equality projection, which is approximately at 72$. This level could act as a significant resistance, and a potential completion point for wave {v}.   * WMT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* The analysis indicates that wave (iv) is currently unfolding, and there is an increase in volume during upward movements within wave (iv), confirming that we are in a corrective phase. This suggests a consolidation or pullback phase before resuming the final leg up in wave {v}. The end of wave (iv) will set the stage for the last impulse to complete the entire wave {v} structure.   Technical Analyst : Alessio Barretta Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!  
    • European markets are poised for a strong start to the week following France's first-round election results, where Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party led with 34% of the vote, but with a smaller share than some polls had projected. This outcome lifted the euro to a two-week high and boosted indices futures, particularly the CAC40. However, uncertainty remains about the final outcome and its implications, as both far-right and left-wing parties have pledged significant spending increases despite France's high budget deficit. This week sees the release of the US non-farm payrolls report, and US markets are closed on Thursday for Independence Day. The UK election and the crucial second round of voting in France will also dominate events.
