[Closing Price Discrepancy]

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 !

[Closing Price Discrepancy]

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 ?
