You got lucky this time SG, but rule 1 of trading: never chase the market.
Always buy/sell at turns in the market off major support/resistance.

Didn't want to say yesterday, but I thought the idea of a retail customer opening a new position on a fed day in a market like this was idiotic andHow did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

When IG start quoting over the phone only like they did with HBOS, they usually increase the minimum stoploss for guaranteed positions to humungus amounts or even remove the guaranteed stop facility altogether. This is to cover their risky position in volatile markets.
If you dont take a guaranteed position, in markets like this, you risk having your stoploss slipped, often by hundreds of points.
Nearly forgot, yes your right HAB, it was Fed day which is almost as bad as non farm payroll day in terms of volatility.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
