One of the most powerful advantages that institutional traders can have is the ability to see open orders in the markets. Now you too can have that advantage with OANDA's Order Book tool. 

See the buy and sell orders including limit, stop loss, take profit and trailing stop orders of other OANDA clients. You can also view long and short positions in the markets.

IG's IT team are absolutely f*king useless.

New features get added to tradingview.com all the f*king time without the world falling in.

Lazy c*nts.

Their customer service isn't up to much either; I asked a question about an error message I was getting ('Market is not available' - despite the fact it's blatantly open) and I was told I'd get a reply the next day. That was 17 days ago now...

I'm actively searching for somewhere else now, not purely because of that mind you. :(

Feedback from IG on all these suggestions would be nice - reasons why popular ideas haven't been implemented despite clear demand, eg online equity option trading, error-spike removal from charts, volume moving averages.

It's so annoying when platforms have a "community suggestions" forum that seems to just get completely ignored so that basic simple fixes get over-looked yet some other new-fangled bells and whistles periodically get added that nobody had actually requested nor would find especially useful.

We'd at least like to know which suggestions were likely to  be considered and which had no chance.

AUDIBLE ALERTS ON WEB PLATFORM WHEN STOPS ARE HIT

It defies belief that you would provide audible alerts for filled orders but not for stops. I don't think there is a trading platform on the planet that lacks this feature. I have to have my mobile phone alerts turned on so I know when stops are hit.

This must be benefiting IG somehow at the expense of it's customers but I haven't yet figured out how.

I don't know if anybody uses alerts effectively as they seem bit rudimentary; i cant find a way to modify an existing alert or temporarily disable them. copying a watchlist in between SB, CFD account rather than adding from scratch.

Also in PRT (out of syllabus), i wish there was a way to see how much margin is required for the quantity entered similar to web platform.

I have a complex trading strategy and I could use alerts if this was included in the rest api. Pretty please?

Through the rest api, the ability to add additional stops and/or limits to existing orders if a level is hit.  For example, I have a current sell order in place with a stop at 10,050. If the price moves down to say 9,950, I would like to move the stop quite close to say 9,960. I could achieve this if I could create another instruction on the platform that specifies the level and the stop, linked to the same order id.  Also the ability to edit this additional instruction via the rest api.  The original stop of 10,050 would still be in place but would be redundant as the 9,960 stop will be hit first. This would make my day.

You can update a position by using this endpoint.

Allowing sell limits that allow for volatility or long term set and forgets is absolutely necessary. Most other brokers have "profit taker" and "loss stop" which are very basic features. So you can even set your sell price (e.g. at 10x the current price) BEFORE you even place your order to buy them.

With IG, living in Australia, trading US we are staying awake all night just watchingthe prices just so I can place the order. What year is this?

That allows me to do a simple update of a position but not "update a position when a level is reached' ...?

sorry meant "update the stops when a level is reached'.  Here is a link to my fleshed out question:

DIRECTION: Bottom in wave {iv}. DETAILS: Looking for a bottom in wave {iv} to then continue higher in wave {v} of 1 or else there is a case we are in Minor wave 5 and we could be topping in wave (5).   MSTR Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4Hr Chart, MicroStrategy Inc.,( MSTR) 4Hr Chart MSTR Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Counter Trend MODE: Corrective   STRUCTURE: Flat POSITION: Wave (c) of {iv}. DIRECTION: Bottom in (c).   DETAILS: Looking for an ending diagonal in wave (c) of {iv}to be in place, otherwise we could have topped in wave {v} where current wave (b) is and we could be headed lower.   Welcome to our latest Elliott Wave analysis for MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR) as of June 18, 2024. This analysis provides an in-depth look at MSTR's price movements using the Elliott Wave Theory, helping traders identify potential opportunities based on current trends and market structure. We will cover insights from both the daily and 4-hour charts to offer a comprehensive perspective on MSTR's market behavior. * MSTR Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* In our Elliott Wave analysis of MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR), we observe a counter-trend corrective pattern characterized by a flat structure. MSTR is currently positioned in minute wave {iv}, suggesting a potential bottom in wave {iv}. This bottom could lead to a continuation higher into wave {v} of 1. However, there is also a scenario where we might be in Minor wave 5, and if this is the case, MSTR could be approaching a top in wave (5). Traders should watch for confirmation of the bottom in wave {iv} to assess the likelihood of an upward move in wave {v}. This could provide strategic entry points if the anticipated trend unfolds as expected.   * MSTR Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* On the 4-hour chart, MSTR is following a counter-trend corrective mode within a flat structure, specifically in wave (c) of {iv}. The analysis suggests that we may be forming an ending diagonal in wave (c) of {iv}, which often signals the conclusion of the corrective phase. Alternatively, if the market has already topped in wave {v} at the position of the current wave (b), MSTR might head lower. Traders should be vigilant for signs of the ending diagonal being completed in wave (c) of {iv} and watch for potential downside movements if the wave {v} top scenario plays out.   Technical Analyst : Alessio Barretta Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!

    • Asian stocks rose on Tuesday, tracking gains on Wall Street ahead of comments from several Federal Reserve officials later in the day. The Reserve Bank of Australia kept interest rates on hold at 4.35%, as expected, but warned inflation risks remain. This led traders to cut back bets on an RBA rate cut this year, though the Australian dollar was little changed. Ebbing concerns over European political turmoil also boosted market sentiment. Futures for European stock indexes were higher after gains on Monday. The dollar edged up ahead of US retail sales data, pressuring the euro and pound. The Chinese yuan remained near 7-month lows on mixed economic data from China pointing to a need for more policy support. With multiple Fed speakers on tap, investors are looking for clues on the US rate outlook after last week's Fed decision, with around 45 basis points of cuts priced in for the rest of 2024.
