Guaranteed stop


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'd like to understand why there a minimum stop amount that varies greatly depending on currency pairs. eg: CAD/CHF Guaranteed stop minimum is over 148pts, whereas the limit can be as low as 1pt. 

Why is that? It opens up risk to much higher loses. I'd like to determine my own risk rather than be subject to a minimum.

Hi @DeanM

Thank you for the query, 

The minimum stop distance is set by our dealing desk based on the risk inherent in the pair as well as the level of risk that we are willing to take on. So the minimum distance on guaranteed stops will vary according to the pair. With larger minimum distances on those that we deem to more risky. 

All the best

Hi and thanks for your reply.

This is not encouraging trading certain currency pairs. I am wary of CHF because of this. Isn't this something that does not encourage trading these pairs? Is there a way around it?

 

Gentle reminder that guaranteed stops were introduced after the SNB debacle of Jan 2015 when the Swissy plunged 2000 points in slippage and wiped out thousands of traders, and many brokers as well.

GSs are only mandatory on 'limited risk' accounts (Australia), could apply for a standard account?

You do realise that what you are asking is that someone else take on the risk in your position? i.e. you want to take the upside, and someone else takes the loss when price gaps below your stop.

If things were that easy, we'd all be millionaires.

Hi Dean

Unfortunately the only way around this is to apply for a standard account. In that case you can trade without guaranteed stops. If this is something you would like to consider please contact our helpdesk.

I am not sure you understood my question in this thread... I want to limit the stop loss to a manageable amount. Refer this potential trade here with CHF/JPY. The minimum stop loss puts me at risk of losing over AU$500, when I only want to risk maybe $100. 

This sort of scenario makes it an extremely risky trade for people that don't want to risk 10, 20+% of their funds in one trade. This type of trade, should it be taken, can wipe of small traders or stop them for trading these types of currency pairs at all.

Hi Dean, 

You are on a limited risk account, this means that all trades that you place need to have a guaranteed stop. If you were on a standard account you would have the option to use a normal stop, which has smaller minimum stop distances. You can contact our helpdesk to enquire about upgrading your account to a standard account. They will take you through a questionnaire to assess your suitability. 

All the best, 

Anda

    • 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.

    • Honestly, L2 scaling solution projects are now increasing by the day. Should we worry about that? Absolutely, not. Why? Because it reduce overdependence on one solution and increase adoption. Also, focusing on different aspect of scaling is a good thing; for instance, Blast focus on staking ETH and stablecoin reinforces security on their network and Ethereum mainnet which increases users' confidence in blockchain and crypto.
    • Well, price performances are always a reflection of either of 2 factors: 1. constant hype by influencers/KOLs 2. whale trading activities 3. imrovement of tech or expansion of utility/usecase to accommodate needs of users For BGB, I think it's rather the last 2 basically from the recent expansion of its ecosystem where the token is used for several high-end events like launchpad, poolx etc.
