Clearly not isolated incidents.  I have experienced this several times over the past 12 months.  I hope we can sort it out.

I was up 200 points on my position, I could neither close nor amend my stop and looking at current price can see my stop has been hit. 

I live in the UK and called 4 times, each call was dropped until a few mins ago when I finally got through and had to disconnect the call after being on hold for 5 minutes incurring international call charges in addition to the losses incurred through no fault of my own

I'd like to know what your recourse plan is. Thanks

IG needs a leaner order entry backup URL, so if main IG dealing URL & system goes down, a 2nd one can work, at least for watching trades  & cancelling / exiting!  Failure to have this, makes the platform less valuable (safe) to active big traders, or forces them to have backup DMA broker accounts too.

This was a nightmare, I had no way of selling my stock, aware that the price was plummeting, I just had to hope the technical issues would resolve themselves.  I'm fairly new to trading and I did not consider this was a thing! I pray it doesn't happen often.  The site doesn't make it easy for customers to contact them.  I took screen shots of the messages but not sure what to do?

The sell prices on many positions had soared and was in the process of selling part of when the system outed. When it was back up and runnng the market had turned all the way back down, so I not only didn't benefit but also left holding positions which since have gone down further which I actually expected and would have reboght into.

Hello,

What happened to my open positions, there are nothing. But I do not close them & the platform has shown that I have running profits.

May I know what is going on? 

Thank you

To add on, I have tried to call the Singapore helpdesk but line got cut off.

Greatly appreciate if anyone can offer some help on this matter.

Thank you

I am about to lose my entire account as I cannot close positions and I have been on the line with the help desk for 30 minutes.  No one is answering.

Platform has been fairly unstable for the past few days. When I call the IG telephone number I get a dead tone. Tried with my mobile and landline. Like others, I have had issues with positions disappearing. However, it's really good that the outage status has at least been updated relatively quickly here https://status.ig.com/ giving me some confidence. 

Also it's good that the underlying infrastructure has been robust enough not to lose new positions I have opened.

These issues did occur yesterday and this morning. The reason for the comment was to let you know we're going to investigate every case. If you send across details of what happened during our error we're happy to look into it. Unfortunately I'm not able to look into your accounts so can't assist with these queries.

Our phone line queues are very high at the moment but we have all client facing staff available for calls and some working overtime to get through all of the queries. 

Please be patient with us, we will get back to everyone as soon as possible.

We gather all affected to file a complaint to MAS

 

Hi, presume you're talking about the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), just to save you some time no regulator will look at any compliant if there has been no attempt to seek redress from the broker involved first. So you need to seek a quick informal resolution via email, if not satisfied with the response you can then make a formal complaint to the broker which must be investigated in depth and if you are still not satisfied with the result you can then take your case to the regulator.

Hope this helps.

    • Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Zigzag for wave (B) Position - Wave A of (B) Direction - Wave A is still in play Details -  Wave A of (B) is about to complete and thus, we should see a bullish correction for wave B soon. Wheat prices are currently retreating, but as long as they do not breach the March 2024 low, there is a significant chance that the recovery from March will continue. The long-term trend remains bearish, and the current recovery phase is retracing this trend and may extend much higher.   Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, the bearish trend that extended from March 2022 to March 2024 completed an impulse wave structure. From the low of 523’4 in March 2024, a bullish correction began as expected. The initial response off 523’4 completed an impulse rally, indicating that this corrective phase could evolve into either a zigzag or a double zigzag structure. Thus, we expect at least a zigzag pattern composed of waves (A), (B), and (C). The surge from the March 2024 low completed wave (A) with an impulse, and the price is now correcting this in wave (B). After the completion of wave (B), we should see another leg higher in wave (C). This is the minimum expectation for the current recovery phase in Wheat.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart focuses on wave (B). The decline from the wave (A) top at 720’4 completed an impulse. A pullback for wave (B) is expected to be a corrective structure. However, the decline so far has completed an impulse wave, which could now be labeled as wave A of (B). This suggests that wave (B) should continue its formation in the near term. It is likely that wave (B) will take the form of another zigzag pattern (A-B-C), as long as the 523’6 low is not breached. If this level is breached, it would imply that the long-term bullish correction has either completed very shallowly, or a more complex scenario must be considered to better understand the situation.   Summary: Wheat prices are retreating but as long as the March 2024 low of 523’4 remains intact, the recovery from March is likely to continue. The long-term trend is bearish, and the current recovery is a retracement of this trend, which may extend much higher.    On the daily chart, the bearish impulse wave from March 2022 to March 2024 completed at 523’4, initiating a bullish correction. The initial rally completed wave (A) with an impulse, and the price is now correcting this in wave (B). We expect at least a zigzag pattern (A-B-C) for this corrective phase.   On the H4 chart, the decline from wave (A) at 720’4 completed an impulse, which is likely wave A of (B). Wave (B) should continue forming, likely as a zigzag pattern, as long as the 523’6 low is not breached. If the low is breached, it would indicate that the long-term bullish correction is either complete or a more complex scenario needs to be considered to accurately read the market conditions.

    • DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: corrective STRUCTURE:orange wave 4 POSITION:navy blue wave 3 DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: orange wave 5 DETAILS After orange wave 3 now orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3 still is in play and looking near to end. Wave Cancel invalid level: 16997.26. The DAX Germany Elliott Wave analysis on the day chart provides insights into the current market trend using a corrective mode. The focus is on the structure and progression of the waves within the Elliott Wave framework. The analysis identifies the structure as orange wave 4, which is positioned within the larger navy blue wave 3.   The function of this analysis is to track the ongoing trend in the DAX market, currently characterized by a corrective phase. The corrective mode indicates a temporary counter-trend movement that interrupts the primary trend direction, typical in Elliott Wave theory. This corrective phase is part of the broader navy blue wave 3.   The direction for the next higher degrees is identified as orange wave 5. This suggests that once the corrective phase of orange wave 4 concludes, the market is expected to resume its upward trend into orange wave 5, continuing the larger impulsive movement within navy blue wave 3.   The detailed analysis reveals that after completing orange wave 3, the market has entered orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3. This corrective wave is still in play but appears to be nearing its end. The conclusion of orange wave 4 will likely mark the transition to the next impulsive phase, orange wave 5, within the ongoing trend.   A critical aspect of this analysis is the wave cancel invalid level, set at 16997.26. This level serves as an essential benchmark for validating the current wave structure. If the market price drops below this level, it would invalidate the current wave count, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave analysis and potentially altering the market outlook.   In summary, the DAX Germany day chart analysis indicates that the market is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 4, which is part of the larger navy blue wave 3. With the completion of orange wave 3, the market has transitioned into the corrective phase of orange wave 4, which is nearing its end. The wave cancel invalid level at 16997.26 is crucial for confirming the current wave count and guiding future market expectations based on Elliott Wave principles.   DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Weekly Chart, DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: corrective STRUCTURE:orange wave 4 POSITION:navy blue wave 3 DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: orange wave 5 DETAILS After orange wave 3 now orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3 still is in play and looking near to end. Wave Cancel invalid level: 16944.47.   The DAX Germany Elliott Wave analysis on the weekly chart provides a detailed view of the market trend, applying the principles of Elliott Wave theory in a corrective mode. The structure under focus is orange wave 4, positioned within the larger navy blue wave 3. The function of this analysis is to monitor the ongoing market trend, which is currently experiencing a corrective phase.   In Elliott Wave terms, a corrective mode indicates a temporary pause or counter-trend movement that interrupts the primary trend direction. Here, the primary trend is navy blue wave 3, and the market is currently navigating through the corrective phase of orange wave 4.   The next higher degree direction is identified as orange wave 5, suggesting that once the corrective phase of orange wave 4 concludes, the market is anticipated to resume its upward trend, moving into orange wave 5. This would continue the impulsive movement within the broader navy blue wave 3.   The analysis details that after completing orange wave 3, the market has now entered orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3. This corrective wave is still active but appears to be nearing its end. Once orange wave 4 concludes, the market is expected to transition into the next impulsive phase, orange wave 5, in alignment with the ongoing trend.   A critical element of this analysis is the wave cancel invalid level, set at 16944.47. This level acts as a vital benchmark for confirming the current wave structure. If the market price drops below this level, it would invalidate the existing wave count, necessitating a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave analysis and potentially altering the market outlook.   In summary, the DAX Germany weekly chart analysis indicates that the market is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 4, which is part of the larger navy blue wave 3. After completing orange wave 3, the market has transitioned into the corrective phase of orange wave 4, which is nearing its end. The wave cancel invalid level at 16944.47 is crucial for validating the current wave count and guiding future market expectations based on Elliott Wave principles.   Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial 6!
