Thanks for your explanation Casey. Do you think that 'Slippage' may be avoided in future if I was to enter an equal and opposite trade in the same market OR place a limit order at the current closing price - or even at a slightly better price to take advantage of the volatility in the market ? What do you thinks ?

I am running a 'Demo' account. To-day I tried to place a short trade on the US share 'Guardant Health Inc' - and I was prevented from placing the trade with a notice which read: " THE ORDER REQUEST YOU HAVE MADE HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED DUE TO PRICE MOVEMENTS IN THIS MARKET" I will be grateful if someone can tell me what this means and if there is anything which I can do to place this trade ?

Thanks for your explanation - this does sound correct - but 184 points is a lot of 'slippage ! I won't be taking off my 'L' plates just yet !

Hello - I am presently operating a Demo account. To-day (03.06.20) I closed a long trade in the US stock 'Corvel Corp' by clicking on the 'close' button. The trade was closed at 6384 - But according to the IG chart, the lowest price for this market, during the entire day was 6568 - so why did my trade close at 6384 ?
