Hi everyone.

 

It it is my first time here. Spare with me if I have posted on the wrong board.

 

I have opened PFG short position a while a few days ago with normal stop at 611p but today when sp changed on the way up. The system closed the position well above my stop, at 760p and beyond margin call. This has left with big minus (debt) on my CFD account.

1) Normal stop does not work alway?

2) Normally, How long IG gives its customer to clear the debt?

 

Thank you for your input in advance.

Hi - I have had a look at Provident Financial, and although I can't explicitly discuss your trade (as this is an open forum), I can see that the stock jumped 20% overnight and as you were short this was obviously a market movement against your open position. 

 

A stop order is an instruction to send your order to market to get the best possible fill, and therefore the level you select can't be guaranteed. You can read more about stop orders here: https://www.ig.com/uk/glossary-trading-terms/stop-order-definition

    • This still seems to be an issue. I can only see 'Deal' and 'Alert' tab. No 'Order' tab, so can't seem to place a Buy Stop outside of trading hours.  Any ideas please?

    • Hey everyone, I wanted to share my thoughts on the exchange recent announcement regarding the compensation plan following the unexpected BGB flash crash on October 7, 2024. Like many of you, I was caught off guard when BGB's price suddenly dropped over 50% from $1.2 to around $0.53 within just 15 minutes. It was a pretty stressful moment, but I was relieved to see the platform quick response. Immediate Action and Transparency The exchange immediately announced that they would fully compensate users for any losses incurred during the crash. They promised to release a detailed compensation plan within 24 hours and complete the process within 72 hours. So far, they've provided clear instructions on how to claim compensation and have been keeping us updated throughout the process. Awaiting Compensation While I haven't received my compensation yet, I'm optimistic given the platform proactive approach and commitment to user satisfaction. The detailed plan they shared looks promising, and I'm confident that they will follow through on their promises. It's reassuring to see the exchange taking responsibility and ensuring that users like me won't suffer financial losses due to the volatility. Looking Forward The exact cause of the flash crash is still being investigated, but Bitget swift and transparent handling of the situation has definitely strengthened my trust in the platform.  in the future. Overall, I'm impressed with how they have managed the situation so far.
