Question

Hi i am new and is not used to cfds, does IG commonly close out clients positions post market close using seemingly artificial spikes?

3 of my open positions were closed with the 100 points downward spike.

I agree with previous post. You DO need to be very very familiar with CFD's, whether they be stocks, currency or any other. IG's computers will close you out. Do you use stop losses?. If you do are they to close ?.

This happens ALL the time, Especially to newer traders. Look anywhere on the internet and you will find countless examples. There's loads of ways to combat this. Don't use Guaranteed Stops, Setting an appropriate Stop Distance for your trade. It comes with practice my friend. Don't trade round NFP day unless you really know what you are doing etc.

    • The U.S. stock markets are currently experiencing a bullish trend, with any recent downward movements considered part of a bullish corrective pattern according to Elliott Wave analysis. Trading activities are being temporarily paused until after the U.S. elections, as this week is expected to be highly active due to 622 earnings reports and the Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for November 7th. Key Elliott Wave Analysis: S&P 500 (SPX): In Wave 4, with three bullish wave counts under consideration. NASDAQ 100 (NDX): Progressing through Wave 4. Apple (AAPL): Entered Wave (2), indicating a corrective phase. Amazon (AMZN): In Wave iv) of 5 of (1), suggesting a minor correction within an overall upward trend. NVIDIA (NVDA): Advancing in Wave 1 of (5), pointing to the beginning of a new upward impulse. Meta Platforms (META): Nearing completion of Wave 4, potentially setting the stage for Wave 5 upward movement. Netflix (NFLX): Completed a Wave 4 Triangle pattern, indicating a possible breakout. Alphabet (GOOGL): Currently in Wave 4, suggesting a corrective phase before the next upward impulse. Microsoft (MSFT): Holding at the 400 support level, in Wave A of (2), which may be the start of a larger corrective pattern. Tesla (TSLA): Moving through Wave 4 of (1), indicating a short-term correction. Bitcoin (BTC): In Wave 4, suggesting a consolidation phase before potential upward movement. Trading Strategy Insight: Investors are advised to monitor these developments closely, especially in light of the upcoming U.S. elections and significant economic events this week. The Elliott Wave patterns indicate that while short-term corrections are occurring, the overall market trend remains bullish. Combining this technical analysis with fundamental factors will be crucial for making informed trading decisions. Analyst Peter Mathers TradingLounge Source: tradinglounge com    
    • Any good DeFi project like ETH, OPT, & ARB are my favorite & wouldn't hesitate to DCA ZRC on Bitget's pre-market campaign tho was able to secure some drops. Hoping to make some profit.
    • The emergence of interactive gaming features within messaging platforms like Telegram presents a dynamic shift in how we engage with digital content. It's intriguing to observe the blending of entertainment, social connectivity, and potential rewards that these mini-games bring to the table I haven't played RoOLZ yet but I do like attack on titans and I've watched all the seasons.  Hope to earn some GODL while I am it!  Thanks for the info
