Question

Hi,

I just started trading and found my first trade blocked because it had guaranteed stops.

I can't seem to turn off guaranteed stops on my live account, but the demo account doesn't have this restriction.

Is there a way I can remove it so I can place my trade?

Thanks

Hi Lenny, thanks for the post!

 

It sounds like your account has been set up as a Limited Risk account, which means that you are obliged to use guaranteed stops on any trade, in order to fully manage your risk.  Most markets permit guaranteed stops (controlled risk), but certain ones cannot have them attached - such as more volatile or less liquid markets - and as such you might find that you are unable to place some positions.

 

If you would like to discuss the possibility of changing your account type to one which does not enforce guaranteed stops, our New Business team would be happy to talk about this with you.  You can reach them on 0800 195 3100.

 

If you have any more questions about account types or controlled risk just let us know!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

Thanks Hannah,

I'm not sure why that would have been, I certainly didn't ask for it, so I guess I'll see how much this prohibits my trading and then call if it's preventing me doing anything useful.

Hi there

 

I have also just set up an avcount and IG have imposed a 1.5 point stop obn the account.

what will this mean exactly

please an example say on audusd pair would be great - if its what im thinking then this is way too tight for any trading that I can see as FX bounces around all the time.

 

thanks in advance - again - little info on website

Hi  thanks for your message. 

 

All assets will have a minimum 'Guaranteed Stop' distance, as well as a minimum regular stop distance. These are not the levels you need to have your stop at, but are simply the closest you can have your stop at. If you would like to place your stop further away then there is no problem with this, please simply just increase your stop distance (providing you have sufficient funds to cover your trade). 

 

I hope this clarifies things for you.

    • XRP supporters have noticed a significant shift in the cryptocurrency's price following the SEC’s recent legal actions. As the situation unfolds, understanding these dynamics is crucial for investors. SEC’s Appeal: A Shock to the Market On Thursday, the U.S. SEC announced its intention to appeal favorable rulings from the Ripple lawsuit that concluded a few months ago. By Friday, this intention became official as the SEC submitted applications to the U.S. appellate court. This news sent shockwaves through the XRP market, leading many investors to sell off their tokens, which caused the price to drop sharply. XRP’s Recent Price Movements Price Drop After the SEC Announcement On October 2, just before the SEC’s appeal news broke, XRP reached an intraday high of $0.6058. However, by October 3, the price plummeted to $0.5101, marking a 15.79% decrease. Interestingly, despite the SEC's appeal being registered on October 4, XRP showed signs of recovery.  As of writing this article XRP Price was trading at 0.54 With 1.375 increase in last 24 hours as per Coinpedia markets data For a more detailed analysis of XRP's potential price trajectory, be sure to check out our comprehensive XRP price prediction article. Comparing the 2020 Lawsuit Impact In December 2020, the situation was markedly different. When the SEC initially filed its lawsuit against Ripple, XRP's price dropped dramatically. On December 20, XRP was valued at $0.5678, but by December 23, following the lawsuit announcement, it had plummeted to $0.2214, a staggering 61% decline. The situation worsened as more exchanges began delisting XRP. By December 29, the price had fallen to $0.1748, nearly 70% lower than its pre-lawsuit price. Resilience and Future Predictions Despite the recent turmoil, XRP’s ability to recover has sparked optimism among its supporters. Some market analysts, including Bobby A, believe that the current legal developments may present a “sell trap.” He predicts XRP could reach $4.23 soon, emphasizing that macro charts remain bullish. Furthermore, there are suggestions that XRP could potentially rise to $6 in the near future. After hitting a low of $0.17 during the 2020 lawsuit, XRP surged by 1,021% to $1.96 by April 2021. If a similar rally occurs from the recent low of $0.5101, it could see prices climbing as high as $5.72, with the possibility of reaching $6 by January. As the SEC's legal actions continue to unfold, XRP's resilience offers hope for future price rallies. Investors are encouraged to stay informed about market developments.
    • Cardano (ADA) is one of the most talked-about cryptocurrencies, with its price currently sitting at $0.3556. But what does the future hold for ADA? Let’s break down the key predictions and market developments in this ADA price prediction article. Optimistic Price Predictions Potential Rise to $1 by 2024: Some analysts are predicting that Cardano could reach $1 by the end of 2024, showing strong potential for growth. 17% Gain Predicted by November: CoinCodex forecasts that ADA could rise by 17% and hit $0.4249 by November 6, 2024. This is backed by the fact that 63% of the past month’s trading days were "green," signaling positive market momentum. Concerns and Bearish Predictions Max Keiser's Bold Prediction: Max Keiser stirred controversy with his prediction that ADA could lose 90% of its value compared to Bitcoin in the next six months. This pessimistic outlook has raised concerns among investors. Price Volatility: Over the last six months, Cardano’s price has dropped by 39.93%, reflecting significant volatility. However, if bulls manage to push the price above $0.43, ADA could see a rise to $0.49, an increase of 25%. Community and Rumors Charles Hoskinson Denies Rumors: Recently, rumors surfaced that Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, sold 1 billion ADA during the last bull market. Hoskinson quickly shot down the speculation, calling it false and stating, “It didn’t happen. People just lie. It’s how the internet works now.” Generosity Joke Gone Wrong: The rumors began when Cardano supporter Jason Appleton jokingly asked if a helicopter seen in a Fox News clip belonged to Hoskinson, hinting at the costs of his charitable efforts. This comment spiraled into baseless claims that Hoskinson had cashed out during ADA’s peak price of $3.60. Future Developments and Roadmap Leios Upgrade: Cardano’s new roadmap includes the Leios upgrade, which will greatly improve the network’s scalability. This could attract more users and enhance ADA’s long-term potential. Large Transactions Spike: In September 2024, Cardano saw a spike in large transactions, with a monthly high of 5,070 transactions. This indicates growing interest in the platform, despite recent price fluctuations. While the short-term future of Cardano remains uncertain, its strong community and upcoming developments offer reasons for optimism. Investors will need to keep a close eye on ADA’s price movements and the broader market trends as we head into 2024.  
    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis Gold has completed the pullback from late September and is now in recovery toward another high as the all-time bullish impulse cycle continues. In the short term, further rallies are expected while pullbacks are expected to end above the 10-October low. Daily Chart Analysis From an Elliott wave perspective, the daily chart shows that Gold initiated a cycle degree impulse wave sequence in October 2022. Waves I and II of this sequence concluded in May 2023 and October 2023, respectively. Currently, the metal is in the third wave, and within it, wave III appears incomplete. Specifically, Gold is in wave 5 of (3) of 3 (circled) of III, indicating that there is significant upside potential remaining. This suggests that Gold's bullish trend is far from over, and traders should be vigilant for potential pullbacks, which could offer attractive buying opportunities as the upward trend resumes. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price completed wave iv of (iii) and is now upside in wave v of (iii) of ((iii)). By projection, wave (iii) could extend to 2767 before the next pullback in wave (iv) of ((iii)) begins. Traders should focus on the buy side of this market and find entries from pullbacks.
