Basic question


Recommended Posts

Hello. Hopefully an easy question. 

I'm having a bit of difficulty translating my Trading View long/short tool profit levels over into the limit order tab on IG Index. TV gives profit taking movement in ticks while IG deals in points. So, for forex trading pairs on this broker, how many ticks are in a point for:

  • typical markets (GBP/USD, EUR/USD etc) ?
  • non-standard markets (GBP/JPY etc)? 

Cheers!

Hi @AL93

Thanks for reaching out.

Apologies we are unable to be specific with a time frame however there are a number of moving parts. IG on TradingView can possibly expect it live around Q1, 2023  We will continue to give updates and feedback.

 

All the best - MongiIG

Cheers. Not sure that answers my question unfortunately. 

Do you know how many ticks on TV make up a point on IG? I'm essentially just wanting to know how much I need to put in the IG order tab boxes to reflect what my long/short tool is saying on TV. I know my entry price and my target sell price (and the difference between both in ticks), but for some reason I am struggling to fathom how to translate that to IG's platform which deals in points.... I had thought points related to numbers to the left of the decimal point...


Cheers, any help appreciated

    • In my opinion, higher lev is for scalpers only! For day or swing traders, either spot or lower lev is always recommended!
    • Just now, according to Glassnode data, the number of addresses holding more than 100 BTC has reached a four-month low, currently standing at 15,955.
    • Bitcoin and other major crypto experienced a dip in value on Thursday, erasing gains made earlier in the week. The decline came after the Federal Reserve signaled that interest rates would remain high for an extended period, with Bitcoin retreating 2.3% to $26.5K. Despite the bearish pressure,  the founder and CEO of Bitcoin joint mining company Xive,  Didar stated that the stagnant rate increase is positive for Bitcoin. He suggested that this could reduce the attractiveness of mainstream financial assets to institutional investors in the long term, potentially driving a new rally in Bitcoin's price. Major altcoins and exchange tokens also struggled on Thursday, with ETH changing hands at $1,585, down about 2.6% from Wednesday. Other altcoins such as BNB and BGB also experienced losses. Despite these challenges, some analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to remain within its recent range between $25,000 and $30,000. Riyad from digital asset data platform Kaiko, noted that the market needs a catalyst to mount any serious rally.  What are your thoughts?
