Ah, that's great. I'm was apprehensive and thought it will execute at the market.

That's what I'm seeing. But it doesn't have the toggle for "Limit" or "Stop" Order Type. I was able to make that appear in the iOS. It's called "Advanced Options" in Settings.

Hi. Is IG Labs free? I'm planning to go into quantitative trading. Not really high-frequency auto-execution. But use more sexy quant models for determining the trend and mean reversion. Execution will still be manual as a start. So first thing's first is if I can get a feed of historical FX prices and maybe tick volume. How extensive is the data being offered by the IG API? Thanks, TheGuru12, for sharing your code by the way. I haven't gone through it.

Hi. I am able to place a Stop Entry Order Type where an order will only be activated when the price reaches a certain level in the iOS app. But I cannot seem to do it in the web browser. Can anyone help?

I tried using the 5min timeframe.

I did end up with a long and a short for the same currency. I guess this acted as a hedge for sideways movement. If the trend clearly happens, one side gets stopped out and the other is making money. 🙃 Well, so far I have lost most of my trades. Is the target too high? There's no case where I achieved it. 😭

This is interesting and maybe my style of trading. I am trying it out on demo. Some observations and questions. The legs are subjective. Do you include minor retracements with the general swing? I guess it's all arbitrary, the larger the reference swing, the longer the position holding time will be. If you do fibs on a small swing, then the trading window is shorter, stops are closer and less reliable. If it already bounced at the 38.2% mark, do I discount the setup already? Or do I still wait if the bounce fizzles out (not breaking the Fib high/low) and goes further down to 50%?
