Open Offer Position Opened Automatically.

Question

Hi, never enouncounted this, but someone is sure to tell me it's all my fault.

I was trading SIG Plc a while back.  Something appeared on my positions re an offer of 30p.  It wasn't doing anything.  I actually spoke to IG about it to say the offer was there if I wanted to take it.  I said I didn't.

Now I have an automatic bid on it.  It's running without my knowledge.  WTF!  and it's negative.

More info to add.

I was Short on Sig. Plc.  I couldn't close the position and had to call IG.    I was told i could close the position if I wanted to, but i left it open.  The Open Offer was still there but i said I didn't want to keep it.  I was told if i left it, it would expire and nothign would happen.  I eventually Closed my Short in profit on the 23rd June!  I haven't traded Sig since then.  The Open offer was sitting in my Positions as 0!  Nothing.  Now today I have in my History the Closed Offer position.  PL showing as 0. but I have a Short Position open at 30p, and it's currently at 35p.

Well if anyone else is interested, here's an update.

I had a Short position on SIG Plc on the 19th June 2020.   My chart froze sometime after either hours or days I'm not sure, with the message to Call to Trade only.  I called and a guy tried to explain what had happened.  There was an Open Offer and the market was temporarily closed.  I asked him what it meant and he said don't worry.  Do nothing and it will expire, so I left it.  I closed my Sig Short on the 23rd June.

I received an email from IG dated 23rd June at 13.41.  Note that it's the 23rd!.  In the email the Expiry of the Offer was the 22nd June!  The Day Before.!    

I've called IG again today after 40 mins on hold and a 20 mins conversation to be told that the previous guy i spoke to has put in his notes I asked about advice on an open offer on a LONG position!!!!    If it was a Long Position i could leave it and it would expire no consequence.   What he didn't tell me was that If it was a Short position I needed to Close my Trade by the 22nd.. The 22nd!  I called before then!.   I didn't get the email until the 23rd telling me the expiry was the 22nd.

What the hell has happened here?

    • 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.
    • Why Nike shares remain in a rut? Source: Bloomberg   Shares Nike, Inc. Price Share price Candlestick Profit  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 26 September 2023 14:02 Nike earnings due Nike is set to announce its earnings this week. Analysts predict that the company will earn 74 cents for each share with a total revenue of $13billion. This is in comparison to the same period last year when earnings were 93 cents per share on total revenue of $12.69 billion. However, it's not all bad news for Nike. When compared to other companies in the same industry, Nike's profit margins are still above average, and its valuation is below the long-term average. There is also a slight recovery in China, which is Nike's second-largest market. With China relaxing some of its Covid restrictions to boost economic growth, Nike stands to benefit from the ongoing reopening. There might be some positive changes in Nike's fundamentals. But for the company's shares to increase significantly in the near term, Nike needs to find ways to boost revenue growth and increase profit margins. Poor performance so far this year Nike’s stock price hasn’t performed well this year, with a 23% drop to date. This is in stark contrast to the 13% increase in the S&P 500 index. Over the past one and three years, Nike's shares have dropped by 9% and 30% respectively, while the S&P 500 index has increased by 32% and 145% during the same periods. Nike analyst ratings, price targets and sentiment Source: Refinitiv Refinitiv data shows a consensus analyst rating of ‘buy’ for Nike. Analysts show 7 strong buy, 15 buy, 9 hold, 4 sell and 1 strong sell - with the median of estimates suggesting a long-term price target of $123.00 for the share, roughly 35% higher than the current price (as of 26 September 2023). Source: IG IG sentiment data shows that 92% of clients with open positions on the share (as of 26 September 2023) expect the price to rise over the near term, while 8% of clients expect the price to fall. Trading activity over this week shows 55% of buys and this month 52% of sells. What does the technical picture look like? Nike’s share price is currently in free fall and is fast approaching its October 2022 low at $82.22. The question is whether the share price can hold above that low after this week’s first quarter (Q1) results. If not, that is to say if a weekly chart close below the $82.22 low were to be seen, the June and August 2019 lows at $78.19 to $77.07 would be next in line. NYSE Nike Weekly Candlestick Chart Source: TradingView For the bulls to be back in control in the medium-term the last weekly reaction high – a high on a weekly candlestick which is higher than that of the week preceding it and following it – at the $111.95 early August high would need to be exceeded. NYSE Nike Daily Candlestick Chart Source: TradingView On the daily chart the last reaction high was made at $98.15 in mid-September and below it solid resistance can be spotted between the August and 13 September lows at $95.66 to $96.55. Below these levels the August-to-September downtrend line can be spotted at $95.00 and is likely to cap any short-term bullish reversal, were it to be reached at all.     This information has been prepared by IG, a trading name of IG Markets Limited.
