Stop Buy/Sell Limit Orders on New Platform for both Spreadbetting & ISA's... Please


ST

Recommended Posts

Could you please add stop buy/sell limit order on the new platform for both ISA's and spreadbetting please.

 

As much as I would like too, I very rarely place stop orders because of the risk of a being filled at an unfavourable price. In particular, a price outside of one's risk parameters. This can occur when a stock gaps up/down or moves quickly through the stop order price and is filled at a much higher/lower price. This prohibits anyone with prudent risk management from trading a breakout or breakdown strategy trading set up when not being at their computer/mobile device or doing other tasks.

 

The idea is that an upper/lower limit is put on the buy/sell stop order price respectively in which one is prepared to trade. The range of prices between the stop and stop limit order increases the likelihood of a fill in a fast moving market. It also eliminates the prospect of being filled on a gap up/down on a price far beyond one's risk parameters. 

 

The normal configuration for this type of order is for the stop buy/sell limit order to be set with the stop buy limit/stop sell limit order and the good till canceled stop loss order. That would just require an addition of a stop buy limit and a sell limit order to the existing spreadbet ticket.

 

Anyone interested in this feature please let it be known below.

 

Thanks

Thank you for your post!

 

Looking at your request, we do have the option to place a stop buy/sell limit order. However this is not currently possible on the new or the classic web trading platform.

 

We do, however, offer this type of order on our L2 Dealer platform. This is a more advanced platform that allows for more advanced order control.

 

I am happy to pass on your feedback to our developers to add this to the new trading platform, for the moment please see the L2 Dealer platform. Link provided below:

If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Chris,

 

I have just been over to the link you provided for the L2 platform. Unless I have missed something it only mentions CFD's and shares in your share dealing service being tradable on the L2 platform? My enquiry related to Spreadbetting and ISA's, kindly see the title?

 

Please advise.

hi chris 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???

    • The "best" percentage of your investment portfolio to allocate to cryptocurrencies depends on your individual financial situation, risk tolerance, investment goals, and time horizon. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as what's appropriate for one person may not be suitable for another. Here are some considerations to help you determine the right percentage for your situation: Risk Tolerance: Cryptocurrencies are known for their price volatility. Consider how comfortable you are with the possibility of significant price fluctuations. Generally, if you have a lower risk tolerance, you may allocate a smaller percentage to cryptocurrencies. Financial Goals: Your investment goals play a crucial role in determining your crypto allocation. Are you investing for short-term gains, long-term growth, or a specific financial milestone (e.g., retirement)? The time horizon for your goals can influence your crypto allocation. Diversification: Diversification is a risk management strategy that involves spreading your investments across different asset classes. Diversifying your portfolio can help reduce risk. Experts often recommend not putting all your funds into a single investment, including cryptocurrencies. The specific percentage you allocate to crypto should consider the diversity of your overall portfolio. Knowledge and Research: Your understanding of cryptocurrencies matters. If you're well-versed in the crypto space and have confidence in your ability to evaluate and manage crypto investments, you might allocate a higher percentage. However, if you're new to cryptocurrencies, it's wise to start with a smaller allocation until you gain more experience. Financial Situation: Consider your current financial situation, including your income, expenses, and existing investments. Ensure that you have an emergency fund and meet your other financial obligations before allocating a significant portion to cryptocurrencies. Regulatory and Tax Considerations: Be aware of the regulatory and tax implications of cryptocurrency investments in your jurisdiction. Tax laws regarding cryptocurrencies can vary significantly, and it's essential to comply with them. Asset Allocation Strategy: Many financial experts recommend following a structured asset allocation strategy based on your risk tolerance and investment goals. This strategy might suggest a certain percentage for different asset classes, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and cryptocurrencies. Regular Review: Periodically review and rebalance your portfolio to ensure it aligns with your goals and risk tolerance. Cryptocurrency prices can change rapidly, so your allocation may need adjustments over time. Ultimately, there is no universally "best" percentage to invest in cryptocurrencies. It's a highly individual decision that should be made based on your unique circumstances and objectives. It's also important to conduct thorough research and consider seeking advice from a financial advisor or investment professional before making any significant changes to your investment portfolio.
