Invalid s/l or t/p on MT4 demo account


atcclad

Question

Helllo,

I have an IG MT4 demo account to get started on my trading journey. When trying to execute a pending order I keep getting the error "invalid s/l or t/p" with the message "open price must differ from market price by at least 70 points".

I've changed the order to that it meets the requirements but keep getting the same message. I keep changing the stop loss to its further and further away but i still get the same message. I change the buy/sell price so its further away from the current price with a really wide stop loss but keep getting the same error. I've checked i've got the stop loss and take profit figures the right way round.

Anyone offer any advice on what I can do? I want to practice on a demo account before going in with my real money but am struggling with this issue at the moment.

Thanks

Hello, I am new to trading.  I have gotten this error message several times.  Looking at the picture you posted, I believe your entry price is too close to the current Bid/Ask price.  Your entry price is 1.070 however the current market price is 1.073.  Try changing your entry price. 

I also had to make sure I understand the difference between a Sell Limit and a Sell Stop.

Hope that helps.

Hi, also trial the IG Trade Terminal from the IG apps pack download. It's simpler and clearer for placing market and pending orders.

    • The BLUM project has recently gained attention in the cryptocurrency community due to several developments such as  Introduction of a mining game on the TON ecosystem, allowing users to earn $BLUM tokens.  Announcement of new strategic partnerships Upcoming features including Tribes and Memepad functionalities.  Active community engagement through events and rewards 5. Recognition from notable figures in the crypto space Key upcoming events: Token Generation Event (TGE) for the BLUM mining game scheduled for September 20, 2024 Coinciding airdrop of BLUM tokens to the community The project plans to provide liquidity on centralized exchanges such as Bitget and Binance, as well as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap. These developments have contributed to increased discussions about BLUM on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. As the crypto landscape evolves rapidly, interested individuals are encouraged to stay informed about BLUM's progress through official channels and related TON communities like r/TONDiscussion.  As with any cryptocurrency project, potential participants should conduct thorough research and consider their own risk tolerance before engaging.
    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
