Enforced trading plan


Recommended Posts

Hi, after filling out the recent survey I have an Idea for an innovation for IG markets which I believe will help day traders, both professional and beginners.

This is similar to what you would see in many funded trader programs.

I think IG should have a trading plan section where you can input data from your trading plan to enforce restrictions on your own trading,

this level of risk management is commonplace among proprietary trading firms, where they often have a risk manager and also have hard risk limits built into their platforms,

Lightspeed is one such platform that has hard risk limits built in.

I believe this should be fundamentally built into the account settings so that it works across all platforms.

I believe there should be a way to input:

  1. Daily stop loss
  2. weekly stop loss
  3. maximum position risk (to enforce trades to be sized correctly)
  4. maximum drawdown on profit over a certain amount
  5. an option to limit trading hours 
  6. an option to limit number of trades per day

all of these options of course should be disabled by default

These limits should not be changeable within a period of 48 hours, meaning if you change a limit it will take 48hours to process the change

I believe this would help beginning traders to focus on proper risk management from the outset, and positively reinforce IG markets position as a respected market leader.

If professional traders with firm resources need help with managing risk it is only natural that many retail traders would fail at this task without proper resources or tools to enforce these limits them selves.

I believe if IG markets is looking for innovative ways to improve their platform then this is an area which is most practically beneficial to traders and should not take considerable resources to create.

Just my 2 cents.

    • Well, everyone is entitled to his opinion and has his yardstick for conclusion on his GOAT. Considering awards and personal glory Messi and CR7 top the list but we cannot write off players like Eusebio, Alfredo Di Stefano, Baggio, and George Weah (African GOAT).
    • Crypto Asset Governance Alliance Token Is a unique and community driven project that operates as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) governed by its dedicated token holders, $CAGA. The project is focused on profitability and fostering collaboration among like-minded individuals by allowing members to stake tokens, and actively participate in decision-making processes. As a community-driven project CAGA believe its community ideas will bring the desired change in the world as such the platform prioritize transparency. All decisions, proposals, and voting results are publicly accessible on the platform and reports are publish regularly in order to maintain clarity with the community.  The native token $CAGA was recently listed on several exchanges as such this double the exposure for the project and makes it the top trending token on CMC as traders and analyst try to see a good entry to grab the token due to its bullish potential and the need to add it to their portfolio. As usual DCA should be employed in grabbing this type of token and always DYOR. What do you think about CAGA?
