number error9 Jul 2018 22:11
Had a bit of bad luck today with me numbers i am invested on Glencore and pfc i decided to put a sell order in set at 567 good til cancelled as averaged at 561,i put all 5021 shares up for sell,only to notice they had sold the lot at 558 !!! wtf i phoned IG and was told that i had put 367 in on my sell order !! jeez started to panic then felt relief that i had sold all for only a 3p loss per share so only about £150 loss maximum bloody annoyed with myself for not noticing such a error,how come they never got sold at 367 though? or is there software that would pick up such a cock up ?
