Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame. -
US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy. The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.

Question
Potterwasp
Please tell me im not doing something daft!
I cannot move stops. I have searched the forums and have seen a few others who are or have experienced the same. Moderators have suggested the change is too close in steps or that there is good/bad news imminent or that price changes are to volatile at the time of trying to change the stops.
Im not convinced.
In my demo account i have 11 positions open, a few shorts but mostly longs. Stops are "Normal". Markets are FTSE350 and one Nasdaq.
I have tried moving the stops tighter and broader. I have tried incremental changes in the Positions page. I have tried opening the stock page and dragging the Stop slider. I have tried tapping in a new stop in the Positions page. I have tried all my open positions both tighter and broader. I have tried adjustments while markets are open and on the closed market Nasdaq position.
I can see on some open trades where i move the Stop slider a gray band below the current price. I guess this represents the spread and/or 2% limit and when changing stops previously, this is the limit i could change the Stop to.
When trying on a stock open page I too get the popup confirming amendment but it never actually changes. It doesn't matter if I click the screen, click away or just close the tab. When I check next the stop has not budged an inch.
I have changed stops many times before but today none of my open trades can be stop amended.
