Demo account orders and gaps


Guest dave2k

Question

Guest dave2k

I was wondering if anyone can clear this up for me?

 

Yesterday (8th March) I put in a limit order for Express Scripts Holding Co. I put the price level at 7500 and the limit at 7750.

 

When I checked my account, it appears that my order was executed and I profited from the trade, but on inspection, the price gapped above these levels that day. The lowest price for the day was around 7920.

 

So how was my order filled? was it because demo accounts don't have slippage?

 

More importantly, what would the scenario have been in a real account?

 

Thanks,

David

Hi ,  Yes, beware of demo, this is not unique to IG, it's the same for all other broker demo platforms. Demo accounts will never exactly reflect a real account, especially concerning slippage, changing spread and margin.

 

Demo is for learning a platform and a rough test of strategy, when going live revert back to minimal exposure and if the strategy works only then look to increase risk.

    • The Bitcoin halving has passed, and the market sentiment remains calm no much momemtum. However, other sectors like DeFi, gaming, and NFTs are thriving. The emerging DEPIN sector is also gaining traction, with Meson Network (MSN) catching my attention alongside Helium and Filecoin. While Helium revolutionizes credit with algorithmic approaches and Filecoin automates trading strategies with smart contracts, MSN stands out with its decentralized marketplace for computing power and cloud storage services. What sets MSN apart imo is its focus on decentralization, end-to-end encryption, and incentive mechanisms, making it a promising platform for developers and users. Its open-source code and connection with Web2 and Web3 applications open up real-world use cases like secure messaging, file sharing, and Dapps. With its censorship-resistant communication channel, MSN is poised to impact regions with internet censorship. As MSN gains traction with scheduled listings and availability on Bitget's pre-market, I wonder: Will MSN's decentralized computing power and cloud storage services make them stand out? https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/meson-network/
