Dear IG Community,

Wondering if anyone else has had this issue or can help advise?

I am new to this platform and trading in general therefore my apologies if I use incorrect terms.  I am currently in Demo mode as I prepare to Go Live.

I opened a trade today and set a Stop/Take Profit level which was hit but my trade did not close automatically.  Luckily, I was logged in and noticed to close out the trade manually. 

This is the second time I have noticed this.  I have already raised a query regarding this observation a few weeks ago and am still awaiting for an acknowledgement and a response from the IG Customer Service team so I thought I might try my luck on this forum. 

Todays Trade details :
High Grade Copper
Stop Level Set : 21888.0 - did not close automatically
High Price Level Hit at 1532hrs of 21931.1 - the, in my opinion, trade should have closed automatically. 

I am currently in Demo mode as I prepare to Go Live but this issue has now occurred twice for me and makes me nervous about investing in the company/system.

Thank you in advance for any responses.

      How much Percentage should I invest in Cryptocurrency?

      By Emon · Posted

      In my opinion, higher lev is for scalpers only! For day or swing traders, either spot or lower lev is always recommended!

      Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency Stumble Amid Fed Hawkish stance on interest rate

      By Bash4j · Posted

      Bitcoin and other major crypto experienced a dip in value on Thursday, erasing gains made earlier in the week. The decline came after the Federal Reserve signaled that interest rates would remain high for an extended period, with Bitcoin retreating 2.3% to $26.5K. Despite the bearish pressure,  the founder and CEO of Bitcoin joint mining company Xive,  Didar stated that the stagnant rate increase is positive for Bitcoin. He suggested that this could reduce the attractiveness of mainstream financial assets to institutional investors in the long term, potentially driving a new rally in Bitcoin's price. Major altcoins and exchange tokens also struggled on Thursday, with ETH changing hands at $1,585, down about 2.6% from Wednesday. Other altcoins such as BNB and BGB also experienced losses. Despite these challenges, some analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to remain within its recent range between $25,000 and $30,000. Riyad from digital asset data platform Kaiko, noted that the market needs a catalyst to mount any serious rally.  What are your thoughts?
