Unable to purchase shares in pre / post market


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

I tried to purchase some US shares right now (1pm) and it doesnt allow me to do so. I get a message that your order was rejected and no further details. I tried this with a few different shares. Are we able to buy shares in the pre-market via IG?

Thanks for the reply. Not sure I follow. If I am reading their guide correctly it seems like I should be able to purchase shares from 12-10:30pm. So not sure why it rejected my order at 1pm? I am trying to buy Shares in Tesla.

which Tesla? Tesla Motors Inc or Tesla Inc.

I think it may be that your Order level is above the offer in the market, so a Limit order probably won't work. You either need to change your order level to less than the offer or change the order type to Stop

ok, I see price gaped up on the very next M1 candle, it may jumped over your order. Not sure of the order types on that platform, is there an 'at market' option? More info on the rejection notice would be useful.

There is a market option but I get the following.

Also the gap was me paying more than what the buy value was so not sure why it would reject that.

interesting, I'm not sure either but the note is suggesting all pre/posts are being put through the 'direct market access' system, if there was no one there wanting to take the other side is one reason the order might be rejected.

I really dont understand how the pre and post market work. I tried placing an order in the post market and it has just gone into pending orders and is stuck there. It was a limit order and I limited it to the market value so dont understand why it does just get filled.

It just seems like whatever I do my orders are never filled in pre or post market. When the market opens there is no problem and I can place orders and they get filled.

@CharlotteIG, are you able to clarify please? Same problem today. I keep getting response that my order is rejected. It wont let me buy any US shares at the moment.

I haven't been able to get through to our technical team. I would attemp going to the old platform and using the limi (all sessions) order. 

If the issue continues, please do send us a screenshot because it shouldn't be rejecting the order if you have sufficient funds.

I placed a stop entry order not far off the the current price in a long position for a stock I believed to have good pre-market conditions to rise.

However, IG triggered my order at the opening price (not the price level I had instructed) and then my stop loss caught it. Let me negative when it should have bought at the level set!

    • Solana ($SOL) is facing a challenging period in the market, with its price dropping to $130.56 USD. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening and what might be next for SOL. Recent Price Decline 15.17% Drop in a Month: Over the past month, Solana coin has fallen by 15.17%. This decline reflects the broader market’s pressure on the cryptocurrency. 8.5% Weekly Fall: Just this week, Solana saw an 8.5% drop, a sign that bears are firmly in control. Despite attempts to maintain a bullish outlook, the market seems to have different plans. Critical Support Levels Breakdown of $134 Support: Recently, SOL broke through the $134 support level, raising concerns that further declines could be on the way. Key Support at $122: The $122 level is now under the spotlight. This price point has been tested six times, and many whales view it as crucial. A break below this could push SOL towards $90. But if this support holds, it might set the stage for a bullish turnaround. $100 Support: While the $100 support level is still a bit distant, it’s essential to watch if the current bearish momentum continues. Revisiting this level could spell trouble for Solana. Changing Market Sentiment Shift to Bearish: The overall sentiment around Solana is slowly turning bearish. Since March, SOL has struggled to make new highs, and the current price action suggests that new lows could be coming. Potential Bullish Outcome: However, some analysts believe that if Solana manages to stay above $122 throughout 2024 and 2025, it could be incredibly bullish for the future, possibly leading to significant gains in 2025. Upcoming Breakpoint Event Historical Price Surges: There’s a potential catalyst on the horizon. Historically, Solana has seen price surges two weeks before its annual Breakpoint event. In previous years, SOL surged by 35% in 2021 and 2022, and by 60% in 2023. 2024 Event: With 16 days left until the 2024 Breakpoint event, could we see another rally? Only time will tell. The Importance of $122 Support As Solana approaches the $122 support level, all eyes are on whether it will hold. A break below could lead to further declines, while maintaining this support could bring back some bullish momentum. As always, stay informed, and remember the old adage in crypto: "buy the rumor, sell the news." Keep watching the charts as we near the 2024 Breakpoint event.
