Using stops on share dealing

Hi, I trade on your new share trading facility. But urgently need to be able to place stops that are carried by IG until triggered or canceled by my self.

They currently only last 1 trading session and then have to be reapplied at the next open.

 

Trading from Australia I normally trade 4am local time to the NYSE close and cannot manage placing a stop for each session at the NYSE open.

Hi there,

 

We are always looking to improve our service and to expand our order types on offer. Unfortunately Good till Cancelled stop orders are not currently offered however GTC orders on Share Trading accounts are one of the main things that we are looking into. I have passed your message on to our development team as feedback. Hopefully it's something we can offer in future!

Hi , thanks for your post, and for your patience regarding this functionality.  I've been liaising with our equities desk and am pleased to advise that we can now offer Stop-GTC orders for main session US stocks, as of Monday.  You should see this order type when you log in and open a deal ticket on a US equity, so I do hope this enhances your trading experience with our platform!

 

Any questions please do ask.

 

Thanks!

Hannah

hi hannah IG, I hold share dealing account, why there is no stop loss? Surely now IG has started to charge custody fee, can they improve their platform by adding a proper stop loss. Please do not suggest other methods like using alerts etc., as when  an alert come at 3am regarding an Australian stock I will be sleeping! A proper stop loss for all international and UK stocks is a basic but essential tool in share dealing; cannot believe IG does not provide such a tool. Also why research and information on all stocks are so poor please improve???

Hi , thanks for your post.

 

I wanted to make sure you've seen the original thread with regard to stop losses on share dealing accounts: read it here.

 

We offer a GTC stop order type, which acts as a stop loss level, for UK stocks.  Our own broker do not have the functionality to add a contingent stop loss or limit to a non-leveraged trade, hence we do not have this by default on our platform.  You can of course always enter a stop or limit sell order to execute at your desired level, but for international stocks you would need to place this each day.

 

With regard to the research and information on stocks - are you able to clarify exactly what you'd like to see?  Our main share dealing and investments news page can be found here, and I'd encourage you to use this Community as a tool for generating discussion and ideas.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi hannah IG thank you for answering, however if other brokers can offer proper stop loss for all international stocks; IG needs to do something especially now there is a custody fee.

With regard to lack of research and info on each stock ,I mean in the IG market data page, or somewhere, I like to see: company information/profile, financial, director deals, latest news etc etc. I know I can get all these by spending time researching but the whole idea of using a broker is that the fundamental  info should be at hand. For example I like to see the up to the minute trade volume here and now on the open position or price screen. I know I can go into the chart to find it (sometime the volume button won't work) but the system can be more user friendly; that is my view.

Hi again , thanks for your suggestions and feedback - these are good ideas!  We are always trying to make improvements and add to our existing features and information, so I will log this with our website team.

 

If you are looking for more detailed trade and order volumes, have you considered using our more advanced L2 dealing platform?  If not, you can read more about it here.

Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 35,109 The NIKKEI 225 Elliott Wave analysis on the daily chart by Trading Lounge highlights a bullish trend in the Japanese stock index, driven by an impulsive wave pattern. The focus is on orange wave 3, which represents the main structure currently unfolding, signaling that the overall market sentiment remains positive. Positioned within navy blue wave 3, this movement indicates a robust upward trajectory. The completion of orange wave 2 confirms that orange wave 3 is now active. This stage is pivotal within the impulsive wave framework, as orange wave 3 typically aligns with strong price movements in the direction of the prevailing trend. Key Marker – Invalidation Level An invalidation level has been identified at 35,109. If the NIKKEI 225 index falls to or below this level, the ongoing progression of orange wave 3 would be considered invalid. This could suggest a potential shift in the trend or necessitate a re-evaluation of the wave structure. Summary The analysis maintains a bullish outlook for the NIKKEI 225, with orange wave 3 driving the current impulsive trend within navy blue wave 3. Traders should closely monitor price movements within this structure, especially around the 35,109 invalidation level. A breach of this threshold could indicate a reversal or a disruption in the current wave framework.   NIKKEI 225 (N225) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Weekly Chart NIKKEI 225 (N225) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Bullish Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Navy blue wave 3 Position: Gray wave 3 Direction Next Higher Degrees: Navy blue wave 3 (continuing) Details: Navy blue wave 2 appears completed; navy blue wave 3 is now in play. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 35,109 The NIKKEI 225 Elliott Wave analysis on the weekly chart by Trading Lounge outlines a bullish trend in the index, driven by an impulsive wave pattern. The analysis highlights that navy blue wave 3 is the dominant structure currently unfolding, nested within gray wave 3, indicating strong upward momentum. This structure reflects the ongoing impulsive phase, signaling sustained bullish sentiment and the potential for price appreciation over the medium to long term. The apparent completion of navy blue wave 2 has paved the way for the development of navy blue wave 3, a critical stage in the impulsive wave cycle. Wave 3 typically represents the strongest and most extended movement within the wave structure, aligning with the overall upward trend in the NIKKEI 225. Key Marker – Invalidation Level An invalidation level has been set at 35,109. A decline to or below this level would disrupt the anticipated upward progression of navy blue wave 3, suggesting a potential shift in market sentiment or the onset of a corrective phase. Such a move would require a re-evaluation of the current wave structure. Summary The analysis maintains a bullish outlook for the NIKKEI 225, with navy blue wave 3 driving the impulsive trend within gray wave 3. Traders are advised to monitor price movements closely in relation to the invalidation level of 35,109. A breach of this level could indicate a disruption in the bullish structure, signaling a potential trend reversal or corrective phase.

    • U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar (USDCAD) Day Chart USDCAD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Navy blue wave 1 Position: Gray wave 3 Direction Next Lower Degrees: Navy blue wave 2 Details: Orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 1 appears completed; now orange wave 5 of navy blue wave 1 is in play. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 1.38430 The USDCAD Elliott Wave analysis on the daily chart from Trading Lounge evaluates the technical trend structure for the U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar pair. The analysis identifies an ongoing impulsive wave pattern, which is moving in an upward trajectory and structured as navy blue wave 1. Within this broader wave sequence: Gray wave 3 remains active. Orange wave 4, part of the navy blue wave 1 sequence, is likely completed. This sets the stage for orange wave 5 to develop within the navy blue wave 1 structure, signaling the continuation of the upward trend. The current analysis suggests that the trend may persist in its bullish direction, given the anticipated continuation of orange wave 5 within this wave framework. Traders and analysts are advised to closely monitor the progression of wave formations. The successful completion of orange wave 5 would support the broader upward movement indicated in navy blue wave 1. Key Marker – Invalidation Level An invalidation level has been set at 1.38430. If USDCAD prices drop to this level or lower, it would signal a breakdown in the current wave pattern. Such a scenario could indicate a shift in market direction or structure, necessitating a reassessment of the analysis. This invalidation level acts as a critical benchmark, enabling traders to verify the validity of the current impulsive structure and adjust their outlook if needed. Summary The USDCAD daily chart points to a sustained bullish outlook, with caution advised near the invalidation level of 1.38430. While the pattern suggests continued upward momentum, traders should remain vigilant for potential reversals should the price approach or fall below this threshold.   U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar (USDCAD) 4 Hour Chart USDCAD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Orange wave 5 Position: Navy blue wave 1 Direction Next Lower Degrees: Navy blue wave 2 Details: Orange wave 4 appears completed; orange wave 5 of navy blue wave 1 is now in play. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 1.38430 The USDCAD Elliott Wave analysis on the 4-hour chart from Trading Lounge provides an in-depth review of the technical trend structure for the U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar pair. This analysis identifies an ongoing impulsive wave pattern, with a focus on orange wave 5, part of the broader navy blue wave 1 structure. The apparent completion of orange wave 4 indicates the beginning of the final phase, orange wave 5, which would continue the upward trajectory within this impulsive framework. The position of orange wave 5 within navy blue wave 1 underscores the primary upward trend, with the potential for further bullish momentum as this wave develops. Key Marker – Invalidation Level An invalidation level has been identified at 1.38430. If prices decline to or below this level, it would signal a breakdown in the anticipated wave structure. Such a scenario would imply a disruption in the progression of orange wave 5 and navy blue wave 1, suggesting the possibility of a trend reversal or a need to re-evaluate the wave structure. Summary The analysis anticipates the continuation of bullish momentum as orange wave 5 unfolds within the larger navy blue wave 1. Traders should monitor the development of orange wave 5 closely, as its completion could confirm the integrity of the current upward trend. However, vigilance is necessary around the invalidation level of 1.38430, as reaching this threshold could indicate a reversal or restructuring of the wave pattern. This level acts as a strategic reference point for trend validation. Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here
