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.

Recognition from notable figures in the crypto space Key upcoming events: Token Generation Event (TGE) for the BLUM mining game scheduled for September 20, 2024 Coinciding airdrop of BLUM tokens to the community The project plans to provide liquidity on centralized exchanges such as Bitget and Binance, as well as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap. These developments have contributed to increased discussions about BLUM on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. As the crypto landscape evolves rapidly, interested individuals are encouraged to stay informed about BLUM's progress through official channels and related TON communities like r/TONDiscussion.  As with any cryptocurrency project, potential participants should conduct thorough research and consider their own risk tolerance before engaging.
    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
