Question

Was anyone else unable to trade GBP/USD on exit poll announcement? Platform on mobile and desktop wasn't allowing me to place any trades right on the exit poll announcement at 10pm - subsequently missed the 2% move up!....

For these big highly volatile events you need to use orders placed in the market before the event, all orders are handled on a first come first served basis so market orders (instant buy/sell) will be dealt with last and so suffer the biggest slippage of all if they actually get filled at all. More likely is your market order will be rejected as price has gaped so much by the processing of all the resting orders queued before it.

Retail traders get to fight over leftovers once the big piggies have filled their bellies.

    • SP500, NASDAQ, DAX 40, FTSE 100, ASX200. Elliott Wave Insights & Strategies  Summary:  US Indices Wave 2 retracement in progress and we will look to buy the low of wave 2 in due course. The SP500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 200 and the DAX 40 have this pattern. The FTSE 100 and the ASX 200 have different patterns, however these markets will follow the same intraday moments as the US Indices within reason and will also look to build long positions in the same timing of the US Indices and ETFs. Stocks: Two types of patterns occurring in these stocks. The stocks that have dropped a lot are still in their b) wave rally and will continue into the next session. Then there are the AAPL's that have made a new high. The main point is there are no decent trends occurring in the next session.

    • I hold a small amount of CETUS on Kucoin. I aped in cos of its low mcap, solid fundamentals and ramped features. I may consider depositing some of it on Bitget to share from the reward. But first, i will look in to the requirements and all that.
