Stay Safe in Turbulent Times

Today’s foreign exchange markets are hotbeds of volatility. Just when you have a handle on the trends of the EUR/USD, an unforeseen variable knocks it in a direction you didn’t predict.

So during this period of financial uncertainty and volatility, it is more important than ever that you take the necessary precautions when trading in the markets.

With some currencies fluctuating unpredictably, it is essential you protect yourself from any sudden movements. Remember: currencies are a leveraged product and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit.

IG Markets offers a wide selection of risk management tools including Trailing Stops.

Other ways to limit your risk

In addition to a full range of non-guaranteed Stop and Limit Orders, we also offer Trailing Stops. These are effectively Stops that will move automatically as the market moves in your favor, locking in profit along the way and putting an end to market-watching and manual Stop movements. However, please note that Trailing Stops are not guaranteed, and as such, can be affected by slippage.
