I am very confused about the stop loss(points away). If I am buying MSFT at 129.87 with a quantity of 100 shares. why is the minimum stop loss at 1298.9 all the time?

Hi @hoandyls, ok, so you are looking at trying to put a guaranteed stop on one of the leveraged demo platforms, there have been reports that the demo sb and cfd platforms, and possibly prorealtime as well, have had problems since the Friday evening shutdown, these should be sorted on Monday morning.

On the live platform the min guaranteed stop is currently 1299

I was going to add some screen shots but the demo seems to have corrected itself, originally it said the min was 12989 requiring a margin of $20,110 but now says min is 1299 requiring a margin of $2,011

price of microsoft is 129.80. if i want to put a stop loss at 10%, what does it mean by 1299 points away.( if im looking at a size of 100 shares)  im just very confused about the term "points away".

you're looking at the Microsoft share price in cents, so whilst it is $129.96 (as an example) this is 12996 points. A guaranteed stop 10% away would therefore be 1299.6 points away (which would put the stop at 11696.4, which is $116.96 in the underlying).

    • A few days ago, I decided to take a deeper dive into staking options for my BTC. I came across the BGBTC pre-launch event, and after reviewing all the benefits, I knew I had to get involved. With the potential to earn passive income and gain BGPoints, it seemed like the perfect way to make my BTC work harder for me. The process was simple, and it immediately caught my attention that I could stake BTC and earn 2% APR, plus additional BGPoints. What’s even better is that BGBTC is offering multiple opportunities for growth. Not only can you earn from staking, but these BGPoints can be used for future token airdrops from different projects. I made sure to join the event on Bitget, where the process was straightforward. I staked my BTC, and now I’m already tracking my BGBTC holdings. If you have BTC sitting around, I’d recommend checking this out. The exchanger has made it incredibly easy, and the additional benefits like flexible trading options and enhanced security are just the cherry on top.
    • Congrats on the airdrop! The game’s community focus is definitely unique, and it’s exciting to see HoldCoin grow so much. Staking on PoolX sounds like a great way to make the most of those tokens—I’m curious too if others are planning to stake for those rewards.
