Open Trade Question

Hello, 

I am new to trading and placed a buy order on the Dow Jones (or Wall Street) with a stop in place approx 200 points below my buy and a limit approx 70 points above my buy. 

The trading closed at 9pm UK time but the position is currently locked in and I can't close it out. 

 

I'd like to know:

1. What time and day in the UK does "Wall Street" open for trading on the IG platform? I have noticed that despite the fact that the Dow is open 2.30pm - 9pm UK time it is available to trade 24 hours per day Mon-Fri on the IG platform. So, is the Dow/Wall Strret available to trade on IG earlier than 2.30pm on Monday? 

 

2. If the market opens and my stop is higher than the opening price, will I lose the additional amount on deposit below my stop?

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
