Having trouble with CFD account


Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

This is my first time in an IG live CFD account. I am having trouble with changing my guaranteed stop loss to normal stop loss. 

I have used the demo CFD account for a few weeks and it could easily change it with no problem.

Another problem is that the guaranteed to stop is forcing me to have a huge gap (min displayed).  The share price is $2.13 and stop loss minimum is about $1.044. This is absurd!

I've attached a photo of the problem if someone could please help me. My account is Australia based. 

Thanks,

Hi, the 'Deal' ticket won't make any sense because the market is closed and can't take instant execution 'at market' orders (see there is no spread) . Try the 'Order' ticket instead but there will probably still be a very large guaranteed stop amount due to probably weekend high volatility.

Thanks for your reply,

I have tried Order ticket and US market ticker Amazon which is currently open.  See photo attached

But i am still having the same problem with the huge stop loss minimum and cannot change stop loss to Normal.

I figured that my account status is Limited- Account, hence this is why  i cant change stop loss setting?

How would i resolve this issue, please advise.

Thanks

If you are able/eligible for a normal account the option to switch should be in the My IG dashboard > settings  list.

    • In my opinion, higher lev is for scalpers only! For day or swing traders, either spot or lower lev is always recommended!
    • Just now, according to Glassnode data, the number of addresses holding more than 100 BTC has reached a four-month low, currently standing at 15,955.
    • 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?
