Still getting used to it on the simulator, wouldn't want to knee-jerk. Seems to be an improvement though.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Simon - it is appreciated. Just to clarify, as we appear to have crossed wires - I'm not looking for a stop of 1pt. As you say, that would be worthless. What I had in mind was setting a stop of, say, 20pts and locking in each point as it is gained...

I just got the email from CS which pretty much answers my question. If I've got this right, 10 is the figure - take it or leave it. What I was looking for was not 20 or 30, but 1 (ideally) thereby locking in every point gained in favour of the trade. Not to worry - let's see how it goes... :D...

Ok, a little help, please :smart: You tick the box for the trailing stop and it defaults to 10pts. What if I want to make it 20 or any other other figure? :help:

Got it, thanks for that. Doesn't appear to have been rolled out on the Demo platform yet - no worries :)

I was just about to ask the same question! :)

"There has been a time out. Your trade may not have been placed. Please check your open positions and call our dealing line."

This is getting ridiculous now. I've just spent over 5mins trying to place a trade on EUR/USD, only to get timeout after timeout. What is going on? :mad:

Hmm... guess I wrote my post in invisible ink - my bad... :innocent:

I've been out of the game for a while and decided to ease myself back in on the demo platform for a while. Now, I know there's some volatility around but the slippage seems brutal of late - 5pts or more over the stoploss! I've been trading about 2.5yrs, which isn't long to some, I know, but...

Not strictly true, Jon. I recall answering your query about changing the time display. You didn't acknowledge that. As with anything in life, you'll get from this thread what you're prepared to put in. Just my 2p worth :)

Online Stopwatch Now you've plenty of choice :lol:

Hmm, a lesson learned the hard way. :smart: Capital Spreads :thumbsdow has ground to a halt and IG :thumbsup: is still chugging along (and I'd be in profit now :mad:) Only one thing for it... :drunk:

Just my luck - my account is showing that the trade closed for 5pt loss. So, it's still open on other platforms?
