Due to the volatility of the markets our guaranteed stop distance has increased. Our risk and hedging desk determine what is appropriate for the stop distance. 

When placing a guaranteed stop, if it is hit and the markets slip IG take on that additional loss. We cannot close clients out at five and take on the loss at these volatile times.

Dont' forget when you trade with a company like IG you are betting against the company as well as the market. If you work out the probabilities then the company equates to something like the "00" on the roulette table or the "casino/house". It ensures they make a profit on their business. You must always consider whether using a company like IG or Betway or any other betting company is the right way to invest in the market.

Our business model doesn't work in this way. We hedge the same way as clients which is why when the underlying market is limit up/down we're not pricing and restrict trades because we have to hedge client exposure. 

The reason we have to amend guaranteed stops is because we do hedge, for this example say most clients are long. We would have to hedge long into the market. If a client had a guaranteed stop and there's slippage IG have to take on that loss. Which is why we have to amend the minimum guaranteed stop losses in line with our risk teams assessment of the market.

    • A couple of months have rolled by since Hamster Kombat game was introduced and heck it's been quite a journey! Charged by the success of Notcoin, the project saw a neck-breaking expansion of its community, postponed its launch and at some point casted doubts among users. The crypto market they say rewards patience, in Hamster Kombat it appears that cliché is about to be confirmed. So if you’ve been tapping, collecting keys, or performing other daily tasks... Snapshot is tomorrow and TGE is on 26th Sept! In anticipation for the imminent listing, cheating bad card has been removed for fair players. Over 75% to be airdropped to the community as details in the tokenomics show that hamsterkombat is purely a community driven project. While we anticipate and predict the listing price is good we also prepare for the airdrop by upgrading all cards and focusing on tasks with lower percentages.
    • Fellow crypto fam! Got some juicy news that's gonna make your wallets sit up and listen! Guess who's just dropped a fat stack on TON blockchain? Bitget and Foresight Ventures, that's who! 💰 These big players just threw down $30 million like it's pocket change. And let me tell you, this is gonna shake things up in our little corner of the internet! So what's the deal? 🤔 1. They're all in on Telegram projects. Remember Hamster Kombat and Notcoin? Yeah, those addictive little games we all pretend we don't play 24/7. Well, they're about to get a serious glow-up! 2. They're loading up on Toncoin (TON). You know, that nifty token that makes all the cool TON apps tick. Might wanna keep an eye on that chart, just saying 3. The exchange and Foresight aren't just throwing money around. They're rolling up their sleeves and getting into the nitty-gritty of TON's future. Governance, baby! But here's why I'm hyped: - Telegram Mini Apps have been blowing up since 2023. TVL (that's Total Value Locked for you newbies) is sitting pretty at $403.5 million. That's a lot of digital cheddar! - There are over 1,000 DApps in the TON ecosystem now. And we're not talking ghost towns here - millions of users are getting their hands dirty with these apps. The big wigs are excited too. Gracy Chen from Bitget is all about mixing their crypto know-how with TON's decentralized magic. And Forest Bai from Foresight? He's calling TON the next big thing in crypto. Bold words, but I'm here for it! Listen, I'm no financial advisor, but I've got a feeling in my crypto bones about this one. TON's been quietly building, and now it's got some serious backing. If you're not already in the TON game, might be time to do some digging. What do you think, fam? Is TON about to moon? Or is this just another day in the wild west of crypto? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 Remember, DYOR and don't bet the farm. But also... don't miss out on the next big wave!
