Closing MT4 Positions via desktop


mrbassman

Question

Hi,

What is the best way to close positions when MT4 crashes or there's a local power cut but we have access to

the mobile app on the smartphone? It has happened yesterday when IG's MT4 terminal lost connection for a while

but luckily it was back alive shortly afterwards. Nonetheless, it gives me shivers just the thought of it. Is there a way

of dealing with it if and when it happens? 

Cheers.

Hi, the wise thing to do is to always have stop loss in the market, even if it's just nominal that you intend to drag around as needed. As it's lodged with the broker it will be recognised whether your terminal is running or not or if you have a connection or not (though slippage may still occur if high volatility as could happen anyway).

Otherwise the other option is to telephone the dealing desk, they can close any position for you.

    • It is a best practice to buy dip and sell high but this strategy mostly doesn’t go as planned because you can’t predict the final bottom. Some traders BTD anticipating a potential pullback which mostly doesn’t happen and this force some into panic selling. DYOR is mostly advisable but some people fail to know which analysis they should focus more on. When deciding to hold a token for a long-term FA is very important and its cardinal point should be thoroughly scrutinized before making such a decision. These points include; Whitepaper, Road map, and Usecase. These points have a huge impact on deciding how long to hold a project and also booast your confidence in the project's bullish potential.  The first principle in this industry is “invest what you can afford to lose" though many neglect this principle as such when a project is going through a price correction they panic sell and sell at a huge lost. Most normal regret their decision later when they see the project back on track. Once you adhere to the first principle you hardly fall victim to panic sales. Note that it is mostly not advisable to hold meme tokens una less you are convinced because meme goes with the hype and finds it hard to retest its ATH once the hype is over.  Anyway what are your trading strategy and principles you adhere to most?
