I thought I would trade more smartly using stop losses but I get thrown out by a price spike. Is there any way in avoiding this. A delay possibly?

Hi @coalimp,

You can try to place a Guranteed stop : Guaranteed stops work in the same way as basic stops, except that they will always be filled at the level you set, even if prices move rapidly or gapping occurs.

More details here.

All the best - Arvin

then the question would be for how long the delay and then why didn't it get enforced at "that" particular time at that price etc. you should realise the SL is visible to different players and if they can buy something cheaper they will try to. if a price spike is taking it out then the SL is, i suspect, too close to the price. Think in terms of Average trading range, recent highs and lows of the instrument, rollover dates, upcoming events, ex-dividend etc.

ast year I lost loads on a AML spread because of a stop loss that was triggered by a one second spike. When I queried this I was told by IG that is was legitimate. Now I have seen many of these spikes all over the place and I dare say unsuspecting investors have been caught out. Again I have queried this with IG and have gotten nowhere.

I have recently bought some International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (LSE) but I wish I had waited until Monday 4th October because according to the daily price graph the share price dropped down to just above zero for a second.

If I had a stop loss in place I am sure it would have been triggered and there would be me selling ICA at 20p and some very happy punter buying them.

Without comment from IG I can only assume that here lies a scam for those in the know, think about it, and if any Netflix documentary film makers want to preempt the next financial market scam they would do well to look at this.

    • As a believer in the potential of Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, I'm pumped about the upcoming listing of the TST token on Bitget. This TeleOrdinal marketplace has been a game-changer for me. Before TST, buying and selling Ordinals and BRC-20s felt like navigating a wild west. Now, I can finally trade these unique assets on a secure and user-friendly platform that uses stablecoins - a massive upgrade.   This is exactly what the Ordinals and BRC-20 space needs: a safe and reliable marketplace to attract new users and fuel further innovation. Huge props to TeleOrdinal for building this, and even bigger props to Bitget for recognizing its potential. TST listing is a major step forward for the entire NFT and Ordinals ecosystem. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

    • Silver Elliott Wave Analysis Function -Counter-Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Double Zigzag for wave B (circled) Position - Wave (Y) of B Direction - Wave (Y) of B is still in play Details - After violating the last update, we have a new outlook on daily and H4 that better fits the current price action. A lower extension is now expected for Silver. Silver Elliott Wave Analysis: Extended Decline and Bullish Outlook Overview: The decline in Silver that began on May 20th is continuing to extend lower and is expected to persist before finding significant support. Despite this downturn, the year-long trend remains bullish and is anticipated to resume once this corrective phase concludes. The emerging chart pattern suggests a further decline towards $27 in the coming days or weeks.   Daily Chart Analysis: Two key observations can be made on the daily chart: Bullish Yearly Trend: The trend for this year has been bullish, leading to a breakout from a prior 13-month sideways price action. This indicates strong underlying bullish momentum. Corrective Decline: The current decline from April 19th, 2024, is identified as corrective. Therefore, the expectation is that the bullish trend will resume once this corrective structure concludes.   To determine when the corrective structure will finish, it’s important to identify the emerging pattern. Early analysis suggests that the price might be forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure, labeled as waves (W)-(X)-(Y). Wave (W) and wave (X) completed on June 13th and June 21st, respectively. The price is now breaking down in wave (Y), which could extend to $27 or lower. Meanwhile, the year-long impulse is labeled as wave A (circled) in the primary degree, and the double zigzag pullback should complete the corresponding primary degree wave B (circled). Following this, wave (C) is expected to push the price to a fresh 2024 high.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart provides a detailed view of the sub-waves within the double zigzag structure. The price is currently in wave A of (Y), which is expected to be followed by a minor corrective bounce for wave B. Afterward, the price should continue lower for wave C, completing wave (Y) of B (circled). This pattern aligns with the broader expectation of a corrective phase before the resumption of the bullish trend.   Summary: Current Decline: Silver’s decline from May 20th is expected to continue towards $27 before finding support. Bullish Yearly Trend: Despite the current downturn, the overall trend for the year remains bullish. Corrective Structure: The decline is forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure. Daily Chart Insight: The trend is expected to resume higher after the completion of the current wave B. H4 Chart Detail: Sub-waves show a minor bounce expected before a further decline to complete wave (Y) of B. In conclusion, while Silver is currently experiencing a corrective decline, the long-term bullish trend is anticipated to resume once this phase concludes. Traders should watch for a potential bottom around $27 and prepare for a renewed bullish impulse towards new highs in 2024.
