Cannot place order due to HUGE pts away min. on the Stop guaranteed


ConorMc

Question

This has always been a minimum of 20 or 40 points from the market price for the indices I trade, now it seems its showing 10% of the sell price as the minimum points away. 1869.7 in this case as  seen in my screenshot. If I try to entertain it place the trade with that far stop, it says I don't have enough margin. My account has ample margin. Is this some weird bug? Has anyone experienced this before? How to solve? I need to trade.

Hi, what type of account do you have? is it the Share Dealing account (non-leveraged) or a cfd/spread betting account (leveraged).

I was able to get on IG phone support last week who said that this was an error on IG's part and it was reset back to normal. Now the issue has happened again to me and I cannot trade due to this. I confirmed with my brother who also has an account on IG, his minimum points away stop has never changed. It only happens on my account. 

What do you mean you will close me out at the price I desire?

It's absolutely insane to not allow a market stop within 2400 points of the Wall Street Cash price right now, its ridiculous. This is 10% of the total price of the Dow Jones as a minimum stop away from my entry price.

So what your basically saying that you will put the guaranteed stops to limit your exposure to risk, not to limit our exposure to risk. you realize that a stop of 1869.7 is nowhere near to close to the market price. just saying, this has been going on since the 30th march and still happening at the 15th April, seems a little hypocritical. might look else where, this is touted as a polished product, not what I'm seeing here.

especially with this canned response.

Thanks for your post. 

With these stops we will close you out at the price you desire then take on any additional loss. Due to current market volatility we cannot allow guaranteed stops as close to the market price. 

These are assessed by our exposure desk and risk teams. 

All the best

    • Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Zigzag for wave (B) Position - Wave A of (B) Direction - Wave A is still in play Details -  Wave A of (B) is about to complete and thus, we should see a bullish correction for wave B soon. Wheat prices are currently retreating, but as long as they do not breach the March 2024 low, there is a significant chance that the recovery from March will continue. The long-term trend remains bearish, and the current recovery phase is retracing this trend and may extend much higher.   Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, the bearish trend that extended from March 2022 to March 2024 completed an impulse wave structure. From the low of 523’4 in March 2024, a bullish correction began as expected. The initial response off 523’4 completed an impulse rally, indicating that this corrective phase could evolve into either a zigzag or a double zigzag structure. Thus, we expect at least a zigzag pattern composed of waves (A), (B), and (C). The surge from the March 2024 low completed wave (A) with an impulse, and the price is now correcting this in wave (B). After the completion of wave (B), we should see another leg higher in wave (C). This is the minimum expectation for the current recovery phase in Wheat.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart focuses on wave (B). The decline from the wave (A) top at 720’4 completed an impulse. A pullback for wave (B) is expected to be a corrective structure. However, the decline so far has completed an impulse wave, which could now be labeled as wave A of (B). This suggests that wave (B) should continue its formation in the near term. It is likely that wave (B) will take the form of another zigzag pattern (A-B-C), as long as the 523’6 low is not breached. If this level is breached, it would imply that the long-term bullish correction has either completed very shallowly, or a more complex scenario must be considered to better understand the situation.   Summary: Wheat prices are retreating but as long as the March 2024 low of 523’4 remains intact, the recovery from March is likely to continue. The long-term trend is bearish, and the current recovery is a retracement of this trend, which may extend much higher.    On the daily chart, the bearish impulse wave from March 2022 to March 2024 completed at 523’4, initiating a bullish correction. The initial rally completed wave (A) with an impulse, and the price is now correcting this in wave (B). We expect at least a zigzag pattern (A-B-C) for this corrective phase.   On the H4 chart, the decline from wave (A) at 720’4 completed an impulse, which is likely wave A of (B). Wave (B) should continue forming, likely as a zigzag pattern, as long as the 523’6 low is not breached. If the low is breached, it would indicate that the long-term bullish correction is either complete or a more complex scenario needs to be considered to accurately read the market conditions.

Wave Cancel invalid level: 16997.26. The DAX Germany Elliott Wave analysis on the day chart provides insights into the current market trend using a corrective mode. The focus is on the structure and progression of the waves within the Elliott Wave framework. The analysis identifies the structure as orange wave 4, which is positioned within the larger navy blue wave 3.   The function of this analysis is to track the ongoing trend in the DAX market, currently characterized by a corrective phase. The corrective mode indicates a temporary counter-trend movement that interrupts the primary trend direction, typical in Elliott Wave theory. This corrective phase is part of the broader navy blue wave 3.   The direction for the next higher degrees is identified as orange wave 5. This suggests that once the corrective phase of orange wave 4 concludes, the market is expected to resume its upward trend into orange wave 5, continuing the larger impulsive movement within navy blue wave 3.   The detailed analysis reveals that after completing orange wave 3, the market has entered orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3. This corrective wave is still in play but appears to be nearing its end. The conclusion of orange wave 4 will likely mark the transition to the next impulsive phase, orange wave 5, within the ongoing trend.   A critical aspect of this analysis is the wave cancel invalid level, set at 16997.26. This level serves as an essential benchmark for validating the current wave structure. If the market price drops below this level, it would invalidate the current wave count, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave analysis and potentially altering the market outlook.   In summary, the DAX Germany day chart analysis indicates that the market is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 4, which is part of the larger navy blue wave 3. With the completion of orange wave 3, the market has transitioned into the corrective phase of orange wave 4, which is nearing its end. The wave cancel invalid level at 16997.26 is crucial for confirming the current wave count and guiding future market expectations based on Elliott Wave principles.   DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Weekly Chart, DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: corrective STRUCTURE:orange wave 4 POSITION:navy blue wave 3 DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: orange wave 5 DETAILS After orange wave 3 now orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3 still is in play and looking near to end. Wave Cancel invalid level: 16944.47.   The DAX Germany Elliott Wave analysis on the weekly chart provides a detailed view of the market trend, applying the principles of Elliott Wave theory in a corrective mode. The structure under focus is orange wave 4, positioned within the larger navy blue wave 3. The function of this analysis is to monitor the ongoing market trend, which is currently experiencing a corrective phase.   In Elliott Wave terms, a corrective mode indicates a temporary pause or counter-trend movement that interrupts the primary trend direction. Here, the primary trend is navy blue wave 3, and the market is currently navigating through the corrective phase of orange wave 4.   The next higher degree direction is identified as orange wave 5, suggesting that once the corrective phase of orange wave 4 concludes, the market is anticipated to resume its upward trend, moving into orange wave 5. This would continue the impulsive movement within the broader navy blue wave 3.   The analysis details that after completing orange wave 3, the market has now entered orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3. This corrective wave is still active but appears to be nearing its end. Once orange wave 4 concludes, the market is expected to transition into the next impulsive phase, orange wave 5, in alignment with the ongoing trend.   A critical element of this analysis is the wave cancel invalid level, set at 16944.47. This level acts as a vital benchmark for confirming the current wave structure. If the market price drops below this level, it would invalidate the existing wave count, necessitating a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave analysis and potentially altering the market outlook.   In summary, the DAX Germany weekly chart analysis indicates that the market is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 4, which is part of the larger navy blue wave 3. After completing orange wave 3, the market has transitioned into the corrective phase of orange wave 4, which is nearing its end. The wave cancel invalid level at 16944.47 is crucial for validating the current wave count and guiding future market expectations based on Elliott Wave principles.   Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial 6!
