IG and it's random decisions to let you trade


Recommended Posts

Not a day goes by where I am not left perplexed and on the hold for 30-45mins due to IG giving random reasons for not accepting trades, to the point where I feel they are unable to make markets or wilfully do not accept.  

Latest when trying to buy Novavax - "Order too far from last traded price". Odd as a) buy price is exactly the same. b) tried buying the stock for higher than the current share price - still rejected, in fact rejected at any price. 

Surprised if IG will still be here when RH comes to the UK. Utterly devoid of anything redeemable. Anyone know why this might be?

I had the same problem a week ago trying to sell 320 Avon Rubber shares but it would let me sell in blocks of 100 which incurred several times more transaction fees. Strange but it would let me purchase 320 in one block!

 

Tried the phone line but was on hold for over an hour and gave up, not the way to run a business and may go back to HL.

    • One of the biggest banks in the UK, Chase Bank, has said that it would no longer accept cryptocurrency payments from UK clients. On October 16th, the prohibition is anticipated to go into force. The region's crypto users have reacted to the bank's move in a variety of ways. While some detractors have criticised Chase for acting without regard for how the financial environment is changing, others have applauded the decision as evidence of the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies by the general public. Chase's decision is unknown at this time, although it is most likely the result of a number of considerations, including the volatility and fraud risks connected with cryptocurrencies and the UK's lack of regulation.https://coinpedia.org/news/chase-bank-takes-a-stance-no-more-crypto-payments-for-uk-clients/amp/ Chase Bank's restriction on cryptocurrency payments is likely to have a big impact on UK cryptocurrency users, therefore it's important to prepare and have a backup plan in place. Here is a choice I am aware of right now: • Making use of a cryptocurrency exchange with in-house payment processing capabilities. Users would thus be able to purchase and trade cryptocurrencies without the need for a bank account, which is mostly used in peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. If you live in the UK and want to buy or trade cryptocurrencies, you need do your homework and pick a reliable platform. Please share any alternatives you are aware of with us so we can learn.
    • Hi all, I am looking to open a spreadbet trade for Steakholder Foods but IG seem to currently not allow this. Do any of you know how best I can trade this stock? Looking to buy at around 80
    • I wanted to start investing and was surprised to find out how much I need to invest to get at least a euro. For this reason, I became interested in the stocks of small companies that might become large corporations in the future. Where can I find such companies? I found the website Fox Funds AI, but the selection there is limited.
