Wall Street guaranteed stop level changed?


rallyartist

Question

Wall Street instrument has been having min 10 points guaranteed stops for orders. This seems to have changed to 2-3% of underlying price (500-800 points) instead.

I noticed this change halfway through the Friday US trading session. Can I check if anyone knows if this is a permanent or temporary change? Thanks in advance!

@rallyartist- Apologies for the late response. 

Our stop losses will change if market news is coming out or if we believe the market could be volatile. These changes are not permanent, it's just until we believe we're able to lower them again.

What was the cause of the big system lock-ups recently that happened to coincide with big moves in the U.S. markets?

I've spoken to our technical team who mentioned there were some issues last week with MT4 but not our web platform. If you ever have any issues I would advise calling us straight away because we don't want you to miss out. 

 

With regards to the moves on Indices, 'Caseynotes' is always posting useful information in the Indices feed.

    • 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
