I’m having problem with login!


Recommended Posts

Yes I am also having this trouble. I've changed my password successfully and managed to log in to this forum, but I keep getting an 'unexpected error' message when trying to login. The two numbers it suggests calling just cut me off straight away.

This is only my second day with IG and I need to make some trades within the next hour or so. I hope this isn't a common theme with IG? Don't rate the support at the moment, hopefully this is just a one off.

I assume its down for everyone.  30 mins now.

I wrote to them th elast time they had a big blow up, and asked why they dind't have a secondary server that uaotmatically kicks in.  They avoided answering me.  Clearly they completely ignored professional advice and stil have no backup service. It's disgraceful, unprofessional, and simply stupid.  It only goes down when things are going crazy, which is precisely the time the backup server is required.   I've always been a big supporter of IG, but their lack of action when given WISE advice, shows they have a serious management issue.

I have got this one from MarketWatch:


Disruptions reported at multiple brokerages as GameStop, AMC surge
Disruptions were reported at several major retail brokerages Wednesday morning, following the speculative surge of interest in companies including GameStop  and AMC Entertainment , as well as a big drop in the major stock-market indexes including the S&P 500 . The website Downdetector reported disruptions to TD Ameritrade, Robinhood, E-trade, Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, Interactive Brokers and Vanguard, as well as the Reddit message board that has triggered much of the activity

Sadly doesn't help us.

The action of a few stocks, no matter how crazy or extreme in movement and volume should absolutely NOT bring dow the whole platform. Sorry, but this is like saying we are still using Windows 95.  Windows 10 allows an app to crash and keep it contained and not cause a BSOD any more.  And this is PRECISELY how trading platforms should be designed these days.  Clearly they are not.

I realize that there's probably a mountain of small print protecting IG from any claim for losses here BUT I do believe the very least they could do is reimburse people for the costs of their guaranteed stop loss premium because I make a POINT of personally physically exiting my trades to avoid that premium and now their platform failure is entirely responsible for that loss specifically?? Do they or have they ever done such??

If the issue occurred across multiple platforms and brokers, then that is really odd.  DOW down 400 is nothing.  No idea what would cause multiple platforms/firms to crash, but implies a broad internet issue, or perhaps even some kind of co-ordinated world wide attack on all the servers???  Beyond my expertise.  

BUT...if it were just IG....and they have previously refused to have a seconardy server in place to kick in immediately when the main platform goes down, then absolutely they are open to a class action lawsuit, in theory.  And frankly, they wouldn't stand a chance.  

But I would rather try to work WITH THEM than agaisnt them.

its up on my end again. I need to give IG credits of being relatively stable and getting it back up again.
Interactive Brokers is up but had order transmission problems, DeGiro ist notoriously offline and others I don't and would never use exactly because of operational issues

Time to switch. IG platforms are rigged! This is a systemic issue and will keep on recurring

Its part of their game. They dont care. Watch. They wont give a decent explanation or plan of action or commitment to prevent this happening again

CityIndex was trading just fine and they're meant to be a small outfit

List of reliable brokers please that werent affected today would be most welcome

SHAME ON YOU IG!!

    • Recently, U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty from Tennessee spoke at the Bitcoin conference, stating his efforts to push for Bitcoin-supportive legislation to promote freedom and opportunity. This year, cryptocurrency has become a key battleground in the election campaigns. It remains to be seen whether future policies on cryptocurrency will improve.
    • The digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as attention, once a freely given commodity, is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset. Layer3 is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering a new economy where attention can be owned, traded, and monetized   This innovative approach empowers individuals to monetize their engagement, providing unprecedented control over personal data. Simultaneously, advertisers benefit from transparent metrics that optimize campaign performance. Content creators are presented with diverse revenue avenues beyond traditional advertising, while the overall ecosystem experiences a more equitable distribution of value.   The implications of Layer3 extend across various sectors. Social media platforms, for instance, can leverage this technology to revolutionize user engagement and monetization strategies. Tokenomics play a crucial role in driving Layer3's economy, incentivizing participation and rewarding value creation. While challenges such as data privacy and market volatility exist, the potential benefits of Layer3 are immense   Anticipation is building as its native token $L3 is on Bitget Pre-market as users await its listing on the exchange. This milestone is expected to significantly increase the token's visibility and accessibility, potentially driving substantial growth and attracting new investors. As the countdown begins, the crypto community watches with keen interest, eager to see how Layer3 will perform in this new chapter.
    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
