  1. Hello IG community! I need some help with "Limit sell" order. I am able to place orders to "buy" by putting my desired limit buy price. Let's say I placed an order to buy Tesla shares @$180 (limit) and my position gets opened. Once that's open I want to sell it (i.e. close the position) when the price reaches let's say $190. What I want is to set the "limit sell" price and let the IG platform automatically close the position whenever the price reaches $190. Currently, I can only close positions with the current market price and I need to be active in the platform to monitor the price and manually close positions. The US trading market opening time is a bit inconvenient for me (1:30am). Your expert guidance is very much appreciated. I use the IG Mobile App mostly. But happy to navigate the dashboard via laptop if that's required (I am not sure if the app has any limitations). Many Thanks!
  2. Thanks so much Anda! I have set some limit for my shares the way you guided me through. The order has not executed yet….Hope this works out for me :). Many thanks again. Best, Nazao
  3. Hello Anda, many thanks for your reply. I tried with IG mobile app, it only shows stop type as none/normal/guarantee. Does not give the monetary amount option as shown in your screenshot. Let me know if i m wrong - what does points away mean? I called up IG helpline, and I was told 1 point means $1? Lets say, I bought 10 shares @$20 and want to auto sell them at $25. Current market price is $22. So should I set +3 points away? Also, this should be a limit order as per my target auto sell? As the current market price will continuously change, how does the above +$3 points away work? Again, I am not sure if my concept of points away (as written above) is correct or wrong. Many thanks Anda for your help. Thanks!
  4. Hello! I have two questions: 1. I am trying to open both long and short positions in the same market for the same stock. I found i must have “force open” activated PLUS there must be stop orders for both order types. While trying to do so, it is giving me “- + points away” for setting limit and stop orders. I am not sure what does ‘points away’ mean please? I am new to the platform and Have only done normal buy/sell without setting any ‘points away’. 2. Lets say I bought 10 shares @$20 and I want them to get auto sold once the price reaches $25. How do I set this? I saw this same options “points away” which I am not sure how it works. Many thanks!
