IG Securities, the Japanese subsidiary of Electronic Trading Major IG Group, has issued a notice of market fluctuations due to the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East.
Military tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated and it has been reported that this could turn into a large military conflict in the coming days.
In the current market situation, there are occasional cases where smooth negotiation is difficult, such as deteriorating trading conditions and intermittent pricing information for some of the IG handles. In addition, depending on the announcement of the commercial measures expected in the future, further sudden changes in the market are expected.
In order to avoid the forced settlement of existing positions, IG calls on traders to maintain adequate funds in their accounts. Procedures for additional deposits are limited, especially on weekends, which close the financial institutions.
Depending on the market risk status, IG may be forced to change the trading conditions immediately, such as margins.
In this type of market environment, it is effective to optimize the size of the location, to use unnecessary orders, to set settlement orders at appropriate price levels, and to monitor the status of your positions.
