VIX stops

Question

Guest london

hello why are the stops in VIX either 0.2 or then 1 ?

 

0.2 is too close to the bid offer but then you have to run much more risk otherwise 

 

why cant the trader decide to have a stop at 0.5 ?

 

why does IG care where the stop is (apart from trying to get it triggered asap)

Hi - the VIX has a minimum stop distance of 0.2, however if you wish to have your stop at 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 and above (or any other increment to the 0.01) then you can, simply by typing in your desired stop level. Please have a look at the example below with an opening big of 17.03 and a stop 0.38 away at 16.65. 

 

If there are other functionalities of the trading platform you would like more information on, or explanations of our dealing practices, please don't hesitate to ask.

ha on this occasion the answer was good 

 

although not sure why the stops jumps from 0.2 to 1 when the arrows should move in increments of 0.1

 

it is still overall a rigged casino

    • 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

    • Pepe (PEPE) is showing signs of a potential 60% rally as it tests a sliding resistance level, fueled by significant whale purchases. Successful breakouts may lead to a substantial 56% upward advance as whales accumulate during dips. However, caution is advised, with the bullish outlook dependent on maintaining support at $0.00000581. Recent price movements suggest Pepe's consolidation phase may be ending, potentially signaling a trend reversal. Confirmation of a breakout is crucial before anticipating further gains. Pepe price has oscillated between $0.00000581 and $0.0000109 for seven weeks, with a potential retest of the flipped range low indicating a possible uptrend continuation. A decisive break above the declining resistance level could drive Pepe towards $0.00000835, with a surge in buying activity potentially pushing the price to $0.0000109, representing a significant gain. Long-term investor sentiment is improving, with the 30-day MVRV indicating a shift in favor of acquiring discounted altcoins from short-term sellers. While the outlook for Pepe remains bullish, a breach of support at $0.00000581 could challenge the bullish narrative, potentially resulting in a 15% decline and retesting of lower support levels.
