It doesn't look like much has changed since September. Support is glacial at the moment. The IG system deactivated my demo system (but kept my live system up) at the weekend so i emailed support as no one was picking up the phone and I gave up after 30 minutes.

3 days later I called support again and gave up after another 30 minutes of no one picking up the phone. I tried the live chat but it took another 34 minutes to get someone to respond to that. The support person could not see the original problem/question I had typed in so I had to type it again and finally another 39 minutes later my problem was resolved. Yay!

Thank goodness it was just a technical problem. For the hell of it I called the trading desk to see if the response time was any better there.15 minutes later I gave up waiting. What if I had a problem with a trade and wanted the trade desk to close that trade....good luck with that!

OK IG, can you please hire some more staff?

43 minutes and still waiting for someone to answer the phone.. Time to move somewhere else.

no it's been poor since the start of the covid crisis, some reports other brokers are affected the same, certainly my bank is. Any email queries I've made to IG have been replied to in 3-4 days.

You'd think that remote working wouldn't change much. I work in IT and we simply redirected everything to our mobiles, business as usual. :)

don't know how it works but might be down to a need to be able to access client accounts and not sure if could/should be able to do that from home. Be interesting to find out.

    • Does anyone else know any other SB providers that you can use to trade through TV?  I've only so far seen CFD providers which doesn't work for me due to tax reasons (mainly the hassle of having to account for it as well as the obvious cost).
    • Is there any update on when/if there will be any integration with Tradingview???
    • The anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions can vary depending on the specific cryptocurrency you use and the methods you use. While some cryptocurrencies provide a degree of privacy and anonymity, it is important to note that achieving complete anonymity can be difficult. Most cryptocurrencies operate on a pseudonymous basis. Transactions are recorded in a public ledger, called a blockchain, using cryptographic addresses instead of personal information. However, these addresses are usually not directly linked to a real identity, unless someone voluntarily discloses this information. Some cryptocurrencies, such as Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC), are specifically designed to increase privacy and anonymity. I read on https://deeplab.com/darkweb/anonymous-sudan-launches-cyberattacks-on-middle-eastern-news-outlets-expands-target-list-with-four-additional-names that some people use this anonymity as a cyber attack.
