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!!

    • Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Zigzag for wave (B) Position - Wave A of (B) Direction - Wave A is still in play Details -  Wave A of (B) is about to complete and thus, we should see a bullish correction for wave B soon. Wheat prices are currently retreating, but as long as they do not breach the March 2024 low, there is a significant chance that the recovery from March will continue. The long-term trend remains bearish, and the current recovery phase is retracing this trend and may extend much higher.   Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, the bearish trend that extended from March 2022 to March 2024 completed an impulse wave structure. From the low of 523’4 in March 2024, a bullish correction began as expected. The initial response off 523’4 completed an impulse rally, indicating that this corrective phase could evolve into either a zigzag or a double zigzag structure. Thus, we expect at least a zigzag pattern composed of waves (A), (B), and (C). The surge from the March 2024 low completed wave (A) with an impulse, and the price is now correcting this in wave (B). After the completion of wave (B), we should see another leg higher in wave (C). This is the minimum expectation for the current recovery phase in Wheat.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart focuses on wave (B). The decline from the wave (A) top at 720’4 completed an impulse. A pullback for wave (B) is expected to be a corrective structure. However, the decline so far has completed an impulse wave, which could now be labeled as wave A of (B). This suggests that wave (B) should continue its formation in the near term. It is likely that wave (B) will take the form of another zigzag pattern (A-B-C), as long as the 523’6 low is not breached. If this level is breached, it would imply that the long-term bullish correction has either completed very shallowly, or a more complex scenario must be considered to better understand the situation.   Summary: Wheat prices are retreating but as long as the March 2024 low of 523’4 remains intact, the recovery from March is likely to continue. The long-term trend is bearish, and the current recovery is a retracement of this trend, which may extend much higher.    On the daily chart, the bearish impulse wave from March 2022 to March 2024 completed at 523’4, initiating a bullish correction. The initial rally completed wave (A) with an impulse, and the price is now correcting this in wave (B). We expect at least a zigzag pattern (A-B-C) for this corrective phase.   On the H4 chart, the decline from wave (A) at 720’4 completed an impulse, which is likely wave A of (B). Wave (B) should continue forming, likely as a zigzag pattern, as long as the 523’6 low is not breached. If the low is breached, it would indicate that the long-term bullish correction is either complete or a more complex scenario needs to be considered to accurately read the market conditions.

    • DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: corrective STRUCTURE:orange wave 4 POSITION:navy blue wave 3 DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: orange wave 5 DETAILS After orange wave 3 now orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3 still is in play and looking near to end. Wave Cancel invalid level: 16997.26. The DAX Germany Elliott Wave analysis on the day chart provides insights into the current market trend using a corrective mode. The focus is on the structure and progression of the waves within the Elliott Wave framework. The analysis identifies the structure as orange wave 4, which is positioned within the larger navy blue wave 3.   The function of this analysis is to track the ongoing trend in the DAX market, currently characterized by a corrective phase. The corrective mode indicates a temporary counter-trend movement that interrupts the primary trend direction, typical in Elliott Wave theory. This corrective phase is part of the broader navy blue wave 3.   The direction for the next higher degrees is identified as orange wave 5. This suggests that once the corrective phase of orange wave 4 concludes, the market is expected to resume its upward trend into orange wave 5, continuing the larger impulsive movement within navy blue wave 3.   The detailed analysis reveals that after completing orange wave 3, the market has entered orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3. This corrective wave is still in play but appears to be nearing its end. The conclusion of orange wave 4 will likely mark the transition to the next impulsive phase, orange wave 5, within the ongoing trend.   A critical aspect of this analysis is the wave cancel invalid level, set at 16997.26. This level serves as an essential benchmark for validating the current wave structure. If the market price drops below this level, it would invalidate the current wave count, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave analysis and potentially altering the market outlook.   In summary, the DAX Germany day chart analysis indicates that the market is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 4, which is part of the larger navy blue wave 3. With the completion of orange wave 3, the market has transitioned into the corrective phase of orange wave 4, which is nearing its end. The wave cancel invalid level at 16997.26 is crucial for confirming the current wave count and guiding future market expectations based on Elliott Wave principles.   DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Weekly Chart, DAX (Germany) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: corrective STRUCTURE:orange wave 4 POSITION:navy blue wave 3 DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: orange wave 5 DETAILS After orange wave 3 now orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3 still is in play and looking near to end. Wave Cancel invalid level: 16944.47.   The DAX Germany Elliott Wave analysis on the weekly chart provides a detailed view of the market trend, applying the principles of Elliott Wave theory in a corrective mode. The structure under focus is orange wave 4, positioned within the larger navy blue wave 3. The function of this analysis is to monitor the ongoing market trend, which is currently experiencing a corrective phase.   In Elliott Wave terms, a corrective mode indicates a temporary pause or counter-trend movement that interrupts the primary trend direction. Here, the primary trend is navy blue wave 3, and the market is currently navigating through the corrective phase of orange wave 4.   The next higher degree direction is identified as orange wave 5, suggesting that once the corrective phase of orange wave 4 concludes, the market is anticipated to resume its upward trend, moving into orange wave 5. This would continue the impulsive movement within the broader navy blue wave 3.   The analysis details that after completing orange wave 3, the market has now entered orange wave 4 of navy blue wave 3. This corrective wave is still active but appears to be nearing its end. Once orange wave 4 concludes, the market is expected to transition into the next impulsive phase, orange wave 5, in alignment with the ongoing trend.   A critical element of this analysis is the wave cancel invalid level, set at 16944.47. This level acts as a vital benchmark for confirming the current wave structure. If the market price drops below this level, it would invalidate the existing wave count, necessitating a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave analysis and potentially altering the market outlook.   In summary, the DAX Germany weekly chart analysis indicates that the market is currently in a corrective phase within orange wave 4, which is part of the larger navy blue wave 3. After completing orange wave 3, the market has transitioned into the corrective phase of orange wave 4, which is nearing its end. The wave cancel invalid level at 16944.47 is crucial for validating the current wave count and guiding future market expectations based on Elliott Wave principles.   Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial 6!  
    • The overnight session in Asia saw stocks hovering near two-year highs, as investors awaited more policy clues from the US. The pound was steady ahead of the Bank of England's meeting, where interest rates are expected to remain unchanged. The  dollar index was little changed, while the euro held steady against the dollar. The euphoria around AI has fueled a surge in tech stocks, driving US indices to record highs and boosting Asian markets as well. US markets were closed for the Juneteenth holiday, leading to a quiet session on Wednesday for European markets, but reopen today, with the Nasdaq 100 now above 20,000 for the first time. Today's calendar sees the release of weekly US jobless claims, eurozone consumer confidence and EIA crude oil inventories (delayed from yesterday), as well as the Bank of England's latest rate decision.
