IG NOT HONOUR PRICING


deus777

Question

a couple of months back I had 4 long deep out of the money option on oil. I noticed after a while that they were in the money when the market was closed but out of the money when the market opened. ok interesting movie. this went on for several days. I went to the real market and checked the open positions for what should have been my options and found zero open interest. clearly only IG was involved with the trade.

then one night I got up at 3am caught the market open found my options in the money, so I thought awesome I can cash them in.

except, when I went to sell them I got some sort of error about some limit. long options limits are not my problem. I kept trying and eventually the little wheels spun and the system sold off tiny percentages of my options, leaving me with 2.73 options that were now out of the money. you have to be kidding me.

So what happened? obviously IGs systems tried to offset the loss since they were the counterparty and were unable to so they simply didn't honour the pricing.

I am sure the t&c's are clear that any pricing is purely indicative and can't be relied on especially if IG are about to take a hit.

whats not clear? tried to sell my options but the system wouldnt let me. and when it did it only sold 1.27 out of 4 options leaving the rest out of the money. I think this is called fake slippage since these options never saw the light of day of a real market.

These developments have contributed to increased discussions about BLUM on social media platforms, particularly Twitter.

    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
