I have the same question and would like to know what the 50% or 100% slippage is a percentage of?

This is for a normal IG Retail account for CFDs not using MT4 etc.

Hi @RichO,

Thank you for your question. I think you are asking this question based on the slippage factor that appears on the 'Info' section of the deal ticket under 'dealing' information?

Please note that when trading with a non-guaranteed stop, there is a risk of slippage. Therefore the margin may be reduced depending on how far you place your stop. That's where the slippage factor comes in. It is a reduction in margin dependent on how far the stop is placed.

 

Please note that shares have a slippage factor of 100% and will not benefit from any reduction to margin.

I hope this helps,
