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.

    • It is a best practice to buy dip and sell high but this strategy mostly doesn’t go as planned because you can’t predict the final bottom. Some traders BTD anticipating a potential pullback which mostly doesn’t happen and this force some into panic selling. DYOR is mostly advisable but some people fail to know which analysis they should focus more on. When deciding to hold a token for a long-term FA is very important and its cardinal point should be thoroughly scrutinized before making such a decision. These points include; Whitepaper, Road map, and Usecase. These points have a huge impact on deciding how long to hold a project and also booast your confidence in the project's bullish potential.  The first principle in this industry is “invest what you can afford to lose" though many neglect this principle as such when a project is going through a price correction they panic sell and sell at a huge lost. Most normal regret their decision later when they see the project back on track. Once you adhere to the first principle you hardly fall victim to panic sales. Note that it is mostly not advisable to hold meme tokens una less you are convinced because meme goes with the hype and finds it hard to retest its ATH once the hype is over.  Anyway what are your trading strategy and principles you adhere to most?
