I appreciate what you're saying (and apologise for such a short reply to a well-thought-out blue reply) but is it really worth the hassle in the long run?
btw, another well known SB outfit took over two hours to fill my stop the other day. Beat that!
It was in blue because I was in an expressive mood! :cheesy: Hope you liked the touch.
Is it really worth the hassle in the long run? In my opinion the answer is 'yes' for the reason I gave in my third point - if we never complained they'd slowly start ignoring all the terms and conditions. Complaining steals back some ground and keeps the firms honest.
Name and shame!!

quick question for the benefit new spread betters like me if they Used guaranteed stop loss then this wouldn't have happened right?
Hi, sorry I'm a bit late to this thread. Steve, you didn't mention what's the size of your friend's cable trade that got slipped 120 pips? I know IG has invested very heavily in their 'automated dealing' function, and £10 trades will just get filled by the system at the first tradable price. It is likely that they 'switch off' this automated system just before figure releases and put all stop orders on manual fill.
I totally agree with you the customer should push hard.
Precisely! I think it's mental to trade figure releases without guaranteed stop. You are aiming to catch a 'big move' so the extra few ticks you pay for guaranteed stop is well worth it. See what happens when one goes in with non-G stop! I'd rather trade with no stop at all to be honest. Stops are to help people to trade with better discipline but if you have what it takes, just 'pull the trigger' when your trade has gone against you. Of course, this is provided that you keep watching your trades and do not carry positions overnight.
