Disliked{quote} Just a natural occurrence that happens with the Dax every day. Nothing can be done about it. You are using a broker that is not "open" until the German exchange opens. By that time the "Gap" has moved the price, in this case to 9240. Nothing your broker can do about it. regard yourself as lucky to have had the forethought of a pending buy order in anticipation of a move North. Just unlucky 1/2 the move was pre opening time. Edit. Advice for all. Get yourselves a demo platform from IG Markets so you can watch what happens with the DAX during...Ignored
Yes definitely I think I need to get one where I can see what happens after market close here in UK. I will do that. Thanks for the advice, probably I was at mistake by placing an order above market price after market close and got filled at the first available price which in my case was 9240. Just a word of caution for everybody, we can take a cue from this. Never place a pending order after your platform shows the market is closed or you should know where the market is as KiwiOz advised.
One more thing I would like to discuss, just came across a few brokers which takes 0 pips or the spread is zero, like IC Market, was trying to understand what is their benefit to them and how do they make money. Is there is a catch that I am not able to see! One thing that I observed is they are only regulated by Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Does that make any difference.
