I was just doing a manual trade on the IG Platform and I couldn’t change my stops!
The reason / problem (whatever it is) is a manual version of what we regularly experience using our Auto-Systems in Real Live.
I added below to the bottom of an IG Thread, but thought I’d reproduce it here as it answers a few questions ( in my mind anyway).
Full Thread is here and you don’t have to be logged into IG to read it.

Don’t you mean you can ‘pretend’ to move them? As they just snap back again as soon as you click anywhere just as the OP says.
I just tried to move my limit stop 1000 points away (as a Test) and it still wouldn’t accept it … it snapped back to 6 points above current Price.
One can’t help thinking that the ‘IG View’ is that there is a high probability that News or maybe even just current Price Action is going to result in a good rise (I was Long the DJI) and so IG are making sure we get stopped out with minimum profit??
Damned annoying anyway … whatever the reason??
If it is a glitch then it needs fixing asap??
