adrien I also had same problem with IG they told me if price moves>30% from when you cliced button they can refuse.also note they seem to take a long time to execute even when it is not near a market close.
almost as if they look to see where price is going before deciding whether to accept your trade or not!!!
Only tiny amounts on my trades, yes it's a fast moving market, but I keep getting rejected, price no longer valid. Reading this you would think I'm trying to pick them off but always this happens when I try to close out a position when the market has some volatility. I can understand this on $100 trades but not $2. By the time the prices are refreshed which can take minutes the opportunity to sell at a profit has gone. I'm not impressed.
Reading the earlier posts I thoght this company was above all that and allowed fast execution.
Primarily, Daily FTSE, DOW & S&P, with main emphasis on the 20 minute markets.What markets do you trade ? ..
Looking at the real-live example:
Currently GBP/USD is trading 1.9660. In my opinion GBP/USD is the wildest currency among the major pairs. I'm betting that GBP/USD will move out of the range 1.9653 - 1.9683 by 5am China time.
Odds of 1.855 is quite expensive. Meaning if I lose this trade, I'll lose US$300; and if I win, I'll gain only US$90. Since I think the chance of GBP/USD to move out of the range is high, I decide to take the bet.

This is what I'm talking about... The aggregious negative expectancy $300 loss for a $90 gain requires greater than a 3:1 win/loss ratio over time just to break even.
How can anyone's account stand that kind of pressure over the long haul?
Is anyone consistently earning a respectable net profit on their accounts over a reaonable period of time, say 5 years (or even a full year). I'm not talking breakeven or just a few dollars, pounds, or euros in the black. I'm talking 10% or better annual returns...
I'd love to hear from you if you are.
Thanks,
