Hi folks , I’m a relative beginner at trading (approximately one year) and while I’ve had some success on the demo sites, I’m waiting for my application to be accepted or rejected by the IG team, while I’m waiting I’m unsure about what to use percentage wise on a trailing stop loss when trading the indices, I normally use 1% which has saved my bacon on times and on other times has stopped me out when I didn’t want to be stopped out 😩 hindsight is a wonderful thing. So what’s the general consensus ? Many thanks Stevo

I asked the same question re stops on a different site and one bloke has been shorting the Nasdaq and has  raised his stop 3 times , it must be hurting as he’s just raised it again to 16,000 . He must have big kahoonas.🙈😂

    • I couldn't help but think of traditional bank savings accounts at a time of market volatility and a notable decline in the entire cryptocurrency market, where money could be deposited and still earn interest. Imagine being able to save Bitcoin during a downturn, receive interest on it, and then profit twice over when it rises. It's far too dangerous to wait for ideal circumstances and then not have a way to protect your money and investments during market downturns. Putting in place programs similar to Bitget's May Savings Carnival on all cryptocurrency platforms might be a big help to traders shielding their assets from the erratic nature of the cryptocurrency market. Having such options available could have saved me from losing my investments three years ago, just after I made profits during the enormous bull market surge, as I can personally attest to.
    • Dear @zappa_69, Retail clients can't trade most US ETFs because of the PRIIPS (Packaged retail and insurance-based investment products) regulation. All European and UK retail clients are subject to this. This regulation covers (inter alia):  • Foreign Exchange (FX) Transactions • Over The Counter Derivatives • Exchange Traded Derivatives (including ETFs, ETCs & ETNs). As such, no retail client can trade on any of the above.  Thanks,  KoketsoIG
