Trades Failed To Close Automatically When Limits Set


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Hi @Nate,  Unfortunately, purchasing Gold on IG isn't available, even if it's digital gold that you can buy, hold, and later sell for updated rates. However, with IG, you can trade Gold on our CFD and Spreadbet platforms using Leverage/Margin and capitalize on price differences. You have the option for spot trading or trading futures, holding positions as long as you have sufficient funds to cover your Margin. It's important to note that with spot trading, you'll incur daily interest fees for the leverage used, whereas futures trading doesn't involve additional interest fees as they are covered within our spread.  I agree that storing gold like Smaug isn't always ideal. You have to constantly worry about Dwarves, Elves, or even Hobbits! Jokes aside, you can research how to trade commodities on our platform with leverage and decide what suits you best. All the best, AshishIG
    • Hi, Placed £200 in a Gold Future deal but when it slightly goes down in value my leftover funds are being used and my equity is raised. Why are my leftover funds being used? Can I not just put everything in gold and keep a 100% equity in the deal? wont loose money unless I sell right?
