min stop loss change


kanpro123

Question

I have seen a guaranteed stop loss of 8! so i should set a guaranteed stop loss of 10 for my trade and i can't open an order because the SL is less than the min SL! so i reloaded my browser and i saw the guaranteed stop loss change from 8 to 122.3, a terrible change! 5 minutes later I reloaded the browser again, and now the guaranteed stop loss has returned to 8, I was able to open a trade with a guaranteed SL of 10! I really want to know about this minimum SL change, I need to know when it changes and for how long !

Hi @kanpro123

Thanks for reaching out, 

The minimum stop distances on markets is controlled by our dealing desk. During periods of high volatility minimum distances are increased. Then when volatility is reasonable they will revert back to the normal setting. The minimum distances will be larger on guaranteed stops during periods of high volatility to reflect the level of risk that IG is willing to take on. Unfortunately it is not one where we can confirm when it will occur and for how long as this is all dependent on market movement. 

All the best, 

Anda

My automated strategies on prorealtime have stopped working because their stops on major fx markets are deemed to be too close to the market level (having worked no problem for more than a year, through volatile periods). I find this hard to believe, given that we are taking between 0.7% and 1% stops on major pairs such as GBP/USD, EUR/USD etc. can you confirm what the stop distance increased to at 9pm on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd June please so that I can see what I may need to adjust my stop levels to. Whilst markets are volatile, a 1% stop on a major currency pair should be more than sufficient. Thanks.

    • I believe this is nothing but a witch hunt cos apparently Binance is on its way to been the biggest company world over. Also, there are rumours that all this hapenings could be BlackRock making a move to clear the house ahead of the most awaited ETF. Notwithstanding, i took precautionary measures and moved my funds to Bitget and Bybit, better to be safe than sorry yah.
    • Crypto industry maybe seen as one of the fastest growing industries in the world today, boasting of a remarkable growth that is capable of making many forget in a hurry all the hurdles it had to beat during its infancy. Although not void of limitations still, no industry is anyways, it has well exceeded early expectations and earned global interest. So scrolling through my Instagram feeds today and seeing the footballing icon and 8th time Ballon d'or winner, Lionel Messi’s post of him celebrating his 1 year anniversary partnership with the crypto exchange, Bitget, I was left reminiscing all the challenges the industry had to overcome to get to where it is today. As a crypto enthusiast who is eager to see the industry reach greater heights, such high-profile partnership thrills me. For one, for the industry to leap further, the issue of lack of trust must be resolved. Lionel Messi well understands his position in his country Argentina as a demi-god, his 500m global followers on IG idolise him. He and his crew must have done their background checks before endorsing the crypto exchange to protect his reputation and also for his followers’ interest. The global reach from this partnership is also a win for the exchange and the industry in general. It portrays the exchange as trustworthy and reliable, and readily welcomes newbies, further boosting crypto adoption. 2009-2023 has been an adventurous journey for the crypto industry, there might have been some tides here and there but the ship is sailing smoothly. Has crypto industry striked mainstream adoption to afford sealing high-profile partnerships like this? 
    • Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has admitted to violating US anti-money laundering laws, which may result in him facing jail time. This news comes as a surprise to many, as CZ is highly regarded in the industry, unlike some other exchange founders who have been caught engaging in fraudulent activities.   The US Justice Department is now seeking a longer prison sentence than the initial 12-18 months and has also denied CZ's request to travel despite his trial starting in February 2024.   Following the news of Binance CZ's guilty plea, more than $1 billion was withdrawn from Binance as investors sought out more secure options due to the uncertainty surrounding the exchange and US regulations.   This raises the question of how this situation will impact the long-term future of cryptocurrency, as well as which exchanges are best for investors at this time.
