Abbreviation "CR" meaning

[Guest Sudhanshu Batish]

Dear All,

I am looking into the list of CFDS which i have downloaded from the IG Website which provides a detailed list of all Stock cfds which are available .

 I observed that few  Stocks are  mentioned  as "NO CR" under "New Position Column".

Could anyone explain the meaning of "CR " related to "New Position".

Regards

Hi Sudhanshu,

CR means Controlled Risk. When a stock is listed as No CR it means that you are no able to place a guaranteed stop when opening a position. It is usually due to low liquidity, so we cannot guarantee our clients a specific price as it is too risky.

I hope you find this useful.
