Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 68% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Question

ProOrder Auto Trading - "Your trading system was stopped because it tried to place a stop order below the minimum distance required by your broker."
I have had problems getting this message this week (since 21st Jun) with my systems based on major currency pairs. Systems have worked fine for over 1 year with 5,000+ trades over that period. Stop Loss set at 0.7%, which should be more than sufficient for major pairs. Trades opened between 2100h and 2315h Sunday - Thursday. Wider spreads at that time but no previous problems. Has anything fundamentally changed over the last 7 days by IG (don't think "increased volatility and therefore wider stops" can be an explanation given the 0.7% normal stop loss that I set (also failed with a 3% stop loss test) or is this an issue with ProRealCode / ProOrder? Please advise.
