The price shown on the graph is the price after the IG's fee taken. That is the reason for discrepancy. -
I am a relatively newbie. I have seen similar and also have seen automated closed position has a loss though the close price I have set was above the price I have bought. After about 6 months with a lot of mysterious losses though my closing price was above the opening price, I discovered this was because of the amount charged for opening/closing a position. This is right below BUY and SELL boxes on the right in very small font. This amount vary from 0.9 to 33 or more depending on the level of trading at the time you open or close. It also happens (god knows why it is set to be so, except that the trader is not watching) when there is a lot of buying and selling going on, like an important news has suddenly been out and the result was not the market expected. As a result, I delete all my automated BUY/SELL values before I stop trading for the day. Remember, the the software is set up to favor the IG, not the retail seller. That is why 70% or more end up in loss.

Question
Guest Bullan
Hi there
I use the iPad app as my primary trading platform and have the "Remember Stops & Limits" option on. However, this seems to only work when you are not in full-screen mode and have the large deal ticket/alert/setting tabs available etc to the right of the screen. When I switch the chart to full-screen mode (so that you now just have the smaller Buy/Sell boxes in the top righthand corner) when I press either one the smaller deal ticket ONLY remembers the deal size and you need to fill in the stop and limit distances EVERY TIME. This gets quite frustrating and I am not sure whether it is a bug in the app or this is intentional. If it's intentional, I am not really sure how this makes sense - to have it apply to one of the deal tabs and not the other. Any chance we can get this sorted so that"Rember Stops and Limits" applies across the entire platform?
Thanks
