Hi all
I recently started CFD trading using the platform IQ Option. I quickly learned this wasn't the platform for me because they have been known to keep people from withdrawing their money, as I experienced myself (only a delay, luckily).
While exploring and trying out new platforms like IG Group and now CMC Markets, I got the feeling that the way I made profits on IQ Option shouldn't be possible (see attached file).
Here you can see a sell position I opened on Snap Inc. about a week ago, where I made 80,-. But what I don't understand is how the IQ Option opening price for my position is the same as the closing price the day before (9,89), while the NASDAQ opening price was set at 9,29.
Is this possible with other trading software as well? It was my belief that you wouldn't be able to complete an order at the previous day's closing price if the after-hours and pre-market have already changed the opening price for the next day, or am I mistaken? Is it possible for such an order to actually go through?
Sorry if this answer is very obvious and I'm missing it completely, or if I posted this in the wrong forum. I just don't want to have false hopes after having earned some money this way. Thank you in advance.
