Stop loss


Recommended Posts

Hey guys.  I'm reasonable new to IG and im looking to set a stop loss. All the information i can find is about the desktop platform whereas im purely the android app. Am i doing it correctly? I want a stop loss of 19p. Its just that the order 'limit-day' doesn't have a stop option as i would have expected

Hi @Mairi,

On your screenshot, Limit means more favorable price and Day would be the expiry.

"A limit order is an instruction to execute a trade at a level that is more favorable than the current market price." more details here.

"A day order is defined as an instruction from a trader to their broker, to buy or sell a certain asset. Setting a day order means that the deal has to be executed if an asset hits a specified price (referred to as the level) at any point during the trading day on which the order is made.

The day order will expire if the price specified in the order is not met by the time the market closes"
more details here.

I hope that the definitions help.

All the best - Arvin

    • I used to enjoy playing poker and blackjack at casinos, but my love for gambling turned into an addiction when I started losing more often than winning. It took hitting rock bottom for me to seek help and change my habits. I joined a support group and worked with a therapist to develop healthier habits. Now, I still go to casinos, but I do so with caution and moderation, setting strict limits and avoiding addictive games. I've learned to control my impulses and make smarter decisions when it comes to my finances.
    • Hi @MayorofBelsize and All,  After checking with the relevant team, the integration will be finalized to mid year. It will be a staggered launch so not all countries will get access at the same time. We will confirm the details of the integration and the date by email to all our clients. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.  All the best, OfentseIG
    • #NZDUSD: Classic Top-Down Setup   🔻NZDUSD is approaching a solid horizontal daily resistance. We see a strong bearish reaction from that: the price formed a rising wedge pattern and a head and shoulders pattern, the support of the wedge and the neckline of h&s were successfully broken.   I believe that the pair may drop. Goals: 0.6237 / 0.622
