  1. Good morning all, If somebody would be kind enough to guide a novice here The last thing I’d like to do is place enough positions and orders to use up my 50 equity for positions to close automatically while potentially at a loss. Thank you DAGIEG
  2. Hi, I have just transferred from a demo to live spread bet account. Can I only use half of my equity to trade positions and orders? I thought I’d read that Positions could auto close if use more than 50% of my equity but I also read something else that said if you use 100% of your equity, positions could start to auto close without adding funds. Which is it please, 50% or 100%? Thank you all in advance . DAGIEG.
  3. Yes , that was it. It seems that when placing a trade using the place in the chart area, it is always nett off. Placing a bid off the chart, force open is my default and can be used. Thank you jlz. I should have twigged that 🙄.
  4. Jlr. That could be it. I’ve been using my tablet and the trading on chart which doesn’t have the force open option showing but the deal portion off the chart was set to nett off. I will again try some dummy trades to confirm this has been the reason and post back here. Thank you
  5. I still haven’t gotten to the bottom of why. It has happened again. Crude oil. I had a sell trade open and wanted to open a buy position which I set up but when impressed the place order button, it closed my open position while also not opening the buy position. Does anybody have any suggestions why? I definitely had plenty of margin left as there were no other open trades. I need to understand why this is happening before I place any real money into a live account.
  6. I’m trying to understand why so am trying different theories I have on the demo account. I can have multiple positions open (sometimes on the same instrument eg US Crude Oil), I go and open another position but instead it closes one of the open positions and I’m trying to understand why. The open positions do not have limit or stop set so are not being triggered and I have plenty of margin left (I think if I’m understanding correctly). Could anybody out there suggest why these positions are closing without me closing them. I am missing some understanding somewhere. This has only started doing this since yesterday so I’m also trying to think what I am doing differently to previous days but I am stumped at the moment. Thank you.
