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

    • 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?
