EURUSD guaranteed stop


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, been able to put some guaranteed stops on the EURUSD past few days but realized not able to at the usual levels yesterday, is this due to the massive volatility? 
 

Usually the increase in margin requirements are triggered near to major news events as I understand.

yes that's correct, the minimum stop and guaranteed stop positions are directly influenced by current market volatility.

Stop positions may also influence the margin requirement needed to place the trade and spreads may also be influenced by current market volatility.

Only if you have a limited risk account where all stops are guaranteed stops, limited risk accounts are not available in all countries.

sorry i have to disagree here, i think limited risk account guarantees you dont lose more than what your account has, where as guaranteed stop guarantees you dont lose more than the stop loss amount.

to answer the first question before, iv enquired with IG, guaranteed stops are not available on MT4

yes, a limited risk account does not allow the account to go negative and all trade entries are automatically given a guaranteed stop so if using mt4 on a limited risk account the stop will automatically be a guaranteed stop but a guaranteed stop is not available on a normal account with mt4.

Limited risk accounts were abandoned in the UK and the EU after the EU regulator gave all retail accounts negative protection in 2018.

    • Selecting a good crypto exchange is far beyond checking their web visits. Security, integrity, transparency, customer protection fund and period of reserve is one thing users must consider in addition to regulatory compliance.
    • In less than a month, the crypto global mcap has surged from $1.1B to $1.7B and daily trading volume from the epileptic $40M to now $90M - $100M indicating adoption and inflow of capital into the cryptocurrency market. Cryptocurrency exchanges have been bussing with newbies signing up and buying different types of crypto they feel will surge as Bitcoin and other altcoins prices continue to gain significantly. The token that has really impressed me personally is JTO. With the current market condition, I think this is an opportunity for exchanges to leverage and attract new users by dishing out beneficial events to users in order to further encourage mass adoption. Do you share the same sentiment or you have divergent opinion? Let's discuss.
