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!!

    • after last weeks sell off'  a chart showing price in a possible discount & at a previous level of interest 
    • Solana ($SOL) is facing a challenging period in the market, with its price dropping to $130.56 USD. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening and what might be next for SOL. Recent Price Decline 15.17% Drop in a Month: Over the past month, Solana coin has fallen by 15.17%. This decline reflects the broader market’s pressure on the cryptocurrency. 8.5% Weekly Fall: Just this week, Solana saw an 8.5% drop, a sign that bears are firmly in control. Despite attempts to maintain a bullish outlook, the market seems to have different plans. Critical Support Levels Breakdown of $134 Support: Recently, SOL broke through the $134 support level, raising concerns that further declines could be on the way. Key Support at $122: The $122 level is now under the spotlight. This price point has been tested six times, and many whales view it as crucial. A break below this could push SOL towards $90. But if this support holds, it might set the stage for a bullish turnaround. $100 Support: While the $100 support level is still a bit distant, it’s essential to watch if the current bearish momentum continues. Revisiting this level could spell trouble for Solana. Changing Market Sentiment Shift to Bearish: The overall sentiment around Solana is slowly turning bearish. Since March, SOL has struggled to make new highs, and the current price action suggests that new lows could be coming. Potential Bullish Outcome: However, some analysts believe that if Solana manages to stay above $122 throughout 2024 and 2025, it could be incredibly bullish for the future, possibly leading to significant gains in 2025. Upcoming Breakpoint Event Historical Price Surges: There’s a potential catalyst on the horizon. Historically, Solana has seen price surges two weeks before its annual Breakpoint event. In previous years, SOL surged by 35% in 2021 and 2022, and by 60% in 2023. 2024 Event: With 16 days left until the 2024 Breakpoint event, could we see another rally? Only time will tell. The Importance of $122 Support As Solana approaches the $122 support level, all eyes are on whether it will hold. A break below could lead to further declines, while maintaining this support could bring back some bullish momentum. As always, stay informed, and remember the old adage in crypto: "buy the rumor, sell the news." Keep watching the charts as we near the 2024 Breakpoint event.  
    • One of the prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has maintained its commitment to user security through its Protection Fund. This self-insured fund, designed to safeguard user assets against potential threats such as hacks, fraud, and market volatility, has shown remarkable stability and growth. The fund has consistently maintained a value above $390 million, surpassing Bitget's initial commitment of $300 million. The exchange ability to continues to maintain a reserve ratio well above 150%, indicating a strong buffer against potential risks. The fund's value has shown correlation with Bitcoin's price movements, demonstrating its responsiveness to market conditions. Over the observed period, the fund's value peaked at $424.8 million and reached a low of $350.7 million, showcasing its ability to withstand market volatility while maintaining a substantial baseline. In February, the fund reached an all-time high valuation of over $543 million, coinciding with broader market uptrends. The Protection Fund's portfolio includes high-liquidity cryptocurrencies such as BTC, USDT, and USDC, which contributes to its stability and liquidity. This diversification strategy aims to mitigate risks associated with external market factors. Bitget's approach of self-funding and internally managing the Protection Fund allows for potentially quicker response times in critical situations, as it operates independently of external regulations and approvals. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, the performance and management of such security measures will likely remain a point of interest for both users and industry observers.
