Hi guys, look firstly thanks for all the replies, some people have been rather blunt but i wouldnt have it any other way, its a rough game so no time for treading on tip toes with comments. Shame its turned slightly into a bit of an argument but its all good im sure.
I will confirm the trade I opened. Iv recovered the details from my account as all trades are recorded of course. It was on the IG Index germany 30 - placed at 09:51 Tuesday 23rd August. The trade opened at 5596.8 £200 per point long. IG call it a DFB, which is daily forward bet. Someone mentioned earlier that it is not the exact dax30 but is IG's own version.
As previously stated, I was comfortable, (not particularly pleased) but comfortable when the trade began to go against me. For my own reasons I had confidence this particular market would rise and turn to profit for my account even if it meant holding the trade for a day or two. Unfortunately the price fell far beyond what I expected and cleaned my account out.
I have recovered the IG chart for the day in question and have also obtained the actual dax30 chart.
The IG HLOC is : H 5635.8 L 5430.7 O 5446.3 C 5620.1
The DAX30 is : H 5636.1 L 5465.6 O 5529.3 C 5532.4
The IG system partially closed my position @ 5498 by £125, meaning the running trade was now £75 per point long. They did this as my account was still positive but not sufficient to cover the deposit requirement for the trade. Price further dropped and I funded the account with a further £1,000 still confident the market would rise. Unfortunately price dropped further and I was taken out at 5459.3. After the trade was placed IG price went as low as 5452, then resumed the uptrend and beyond my entry point, returning profits of over £50,000.
The IG index low of 5430.7 occurred at 0100 hours GMT out of hours trading well before i opened my position. The actual dax30 after my trade was placed hit its day low of 5465.6 at around 3pm.
As you can see the comparison highs are similar, but the lows vary somewhat.
My information on the actual dax30 has come from the euroinvestor website
