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.

    • His mention of C3.ai, with its focus on predictive maintenance and smart meter management, highlights how AI isn't just improving operational efficiency but also creating new growth opportunities. Anderson also points to Microsoft’s AI-enhanced cloud services as another example of AI setting the stage for future business models. For investors, it’s less about immediate profitability and more about the long-term potential of AI.
    • XRP supporters have noticed a significant shift in the cryptocurrency's price following the SEC’s recent legal actions. As the situation unfolds, understanding these dynamics is crucial for investors. SEC’s Appeal: A Shock to the Market On Thursday, the U.S. SEC announced its intention to appeal favorable rulings from the Ripple lawsuit that concluded a few months ago. By Friday, this intention became official as the SEC submitted applications to the U.S. appellate court. This news sent shockwaves through the XRP market, leading many investors to sell off their tokens, which caused the price to drop sharply. XRP’s Recent Price Movements Price Drop After the SEC Announcement On October 2, just before the SEC’s appeal news broke, XRP reached an intraday high of $0.6058. However, by October 3, the price plummeted to $0.5101, marking a 15.79% decrease. Interestingly, despite the SEC's appeal being registered on October 4, XRP showed signs of recovery.  As of writing this article XRP Price was trading at 0.54 With 1.375 increase in last 24 hours as per Coinpedia markets data For a more detailed analysis of XRP's potential price trajectory, be sure to check out our comprehensive XRP price prediction article. Comparing the 2020 Lawsuit Impact In December 2020, the situation was markedly different. When the SEC initially filed its lawsuit against Ripple, XRP's price dropped dramatically. On December 20, XRP was valued at $0.5678, but by December 23, following the lawsuit announcement, it had plummeted to $0.2214, a staggering 61% decline. The situation worsened as more exchanges began delisting XRP. By December 29, the price had fallen to $0.1748, nearly 70% lower than its pre-lawsuit price. Resilience and Future Predictions Despite the recent turmoil, XRP’s ability to recover has sparked optimism among its supporters. Some market analysts, including Bobby A, believe that the current legal developments may present a “sell trap.” He predicts XRP could reach $4.23 soon, emphasizing that macro charts remain bullish. Furthermore, there are suggestions that XRP could potentially rise to $6 in the near future. After hitting a low of $0.17 during the 2020 lawsuit, XRP surged by 1,021% to $1.96 by April 2021. If a similar rally occurs from the recent low of $0.5101, it could see prices climbing as high as $5.72, with the possibility of reaching $6 by January. As the SEC's legal actions continue to unfold, XRP's resilience offers hope for future price rallies. Investors are encouraged to stay informed about market developments.
