This is totally unacceptable. When markets are extremely volatile, IG shuts down the system so can't execute any trades. Tried to call and just get cut off.  LOST SO MUCH MONEY because of this.

Anyone else thinks this is outrageous by IG?

YES! absolutely it happens repeatedly which is nothing less a malicious action by the IG. At some times it even prevents to adjust stop loss or a limit order resulting  in a serious MONEY LOSS

As anyone from IG alive, 

 

slipage is one thing having to hold the bag for 15 point swings because the platform goes down is unacceptable, if you platform can’t process the orders suspend at least suspend instruments  This is crazy

Unfortunately I've been with IG for 2 years now and lost a relatively small amount of money because of Platform Issues that have always been unresolved.  It's part of the package it seems.  It's simply a very poor retail experience.

Are you saying nit2wynit that IG take no accountability for execution issues?

Can't even get through either via phone or online chat. So I am giving up on IG and will leave the worst review ever. Perhaps one technical glitch, but over the last 2 days the same issue and I have the same issue before with IG when there is high volatility. But this time I got thoroughly burned. On top of that, they created a phantom trade which I never did which lost me a lot on top of not being able to close positions.

Thanks. Will try out their demo. 

No worries. Admittedly they haven't the same range of stocks as IG *yet*, but they are adding at a really fast pace and personally I love the way the leverage works on there and the charts etc, everything is just super smooth and fast. I find IG a bit laggy, uptime not always great, fees and spread much worse, the only thing that is good with IG is their support, but if I am using a trading interface 12 hours a day, i want it to be outstanding and IG just isn't that and won't be anytime soon unfortunately, because it is built on old tech. It hogs resources massively in the browser.

I resorted to screen recording all of my issues.  I had no replies from email and chat was useless too.  I've personally tagged Charlotte from IG into my questions but no longer get any replies.  Maybe there is a Legit reason for this I don't know.

What I do know is that for 2 years using either Demo OR Live EVERY SINGLE DAY, I can no longer count the amount of issues I've experienced with a decent amount of them actually costing me money for one reason or another.

The last time I had Charlotte's attention she advised me to email support, which I did.  They did eventually get back to me saying they had 'No Issues' with their Platform, and that I should check My End!  My End is/was  perfect!

I then sent video evidence of my issues and have had no contact with IG since.  That was very early 2019.

I've accepted it's not perfect.  However today, my Share Dealing Platform froze, malfunctioned call it whatever you like, at US Open 2.30pm.  It' was not useable until 2.50pm.  By then a lot of my shares had taken a dip.  It then malfunctioned again for roughly 5 mintues.

I'm clearly not the only one having problems with this platform.........but It's clearly my fault!  Why am I still here?


There's plenty of Chat in here, but you only need to go to Technical or Platform related Forums to see there are almost Zero annswers to the many questions asked.

It's wrong to assume that because only a small amount of people complain that the issues are random and isoltated.

However, it's doesn't take a genius to see how many people are actually Active on this Forum, how much Support is actually provided and the negative effect it's having with IG.

I am not an advocate of Stike Action.  i am not a rotten apple.  I am not a Troll.  I am a grown up Professional person.


We either accept it, or find another platform.

so today i was locked out of a spread bet position +£4000 on AMC.

as if it wasnt bad enough you constanly locking the platform up every single tim the stock went up or down.

you also locked trades so i couldn't open a new possition to sure up my losses.

seccondly to this and more importantly i couldnt move my  stop loss position, so i couldn't move my stop loss to avoid beeing closed out despite having sufficent funds in my account. resulting in losing in excess of £30,000.

how is this legal. locking people out of trades and limiting there stop positions so they have no chioce other than to just lose money.

FCA need to be involved i think.

can you please explaine to me how this is even legal.

I've moved to FTX already 100% up time and they have synthetic stocks, so you don't have these constant limitations on trading stocks all the time as I get on IG, PLUS lower fees.
https://ftx.com/#a=demo

Unfortunately I've just tried FTX and their Timeframes is only 1minute at it's lowest, not 1sec 10 sec like here and the price on screen is well behind that of IG.  I haven't actually registered but you can see the Market action on screen.

Can you confirm the difference in Price Action and Timeframe Limits?

I also lost money and the opportunity for a large amount of profit due to the IG site not working at crucial times and the corruptness of the market closures with GME and AMC manipulating  prices/spread and not letting people buy and forcing the price down. I can see some class action lawsuits coming very soon for the industry...

you come out with this old story every time there's a major outage. I remember IG spending time to sort it 2 years ago and came to the conclusion that as you were having problems almost daily and no one else was the cause must be on your side, they obviously see no reason to change their original decision.

It's obvious what caused it. This isn't normal market behaviour. Clearing firms are having collateral issues at the DTC due to the volatility causing DTC to jack rates to 100%. They're preventing opening trades because their clearing firms literally don't have any cash on hand to fund the 2 day settlement cycle.

HI 

Same happening to me today . As I advised yesterday IG will only understand when there is a mass exodus of clients leaving the company. They delibrately do this to us because they know that there is no one to account for. Even the management of company looks like they are all Correpted and Dont listen to customers. 

I have already made arrangements to shipment my trades to Another Broker . Sooner everybody does the better . Good Luck

Well I am leaving IG. What happens when there is high volatility is totally unacceptable.  It is not just poor service, but they are CHEATING their customers out of millions. So why would you continue to trade on such a platform. 

Perhaps start a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?  I am game for it.

    • AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart, Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) Day Chart AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Gray Wave 2 Position: Orange Wave 3 Next Higher Degree Direction: Gray Wave 3 Details: Gray Wave 1 appears to be complete, with Gray Wave 2 currently in progress. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 0.66237 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the daily chart shows that the market is currently in a counter-trend phase, defined by a corrective movement. This wave pattern operates in a corrective mode, suggesting that the market is undergoing a temporary pullback against the broader trend. The current wave structure under observation is Gray Wave 2, which is in effect following the completion of Gray Wave 1. Gray Wave 1 has finished, signaling the end of the initial impulsive move. Now, the market has transitioned into Gray Wave 2, which is typically a corrective phase that follows the first impulsive wave. According to Elliott Wave Theory, Wave 2 usually retraces a portion of Wave 1 before the market resumes its primary trend, which is expected to happen in Gray Wave 3. Wave 3 is often the most extended and powerful wave in an Elliott Wave cycle, indicating that significant movement is likely to occur once the corrective phase concludes. The next major movement, Gray Wave 3, is expected to continue the overarching trend once Gray Wave 2 completes its corrective cycle. The analysis highlights the importance of Gray Wave 2, as it will set the stage for the potential upward movement that follows. The critical invalidation level for this wave structure is 0.66237. If the market drops below this level, the current wave count will be considered invalid, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave structure. This level serves as a key reference point for confirming whether the ongoing corrective action will hold and whether the trend is likely to resume as anticipated. Summary: The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the daily chart indicates that Gray Wave 2 is active following the completion of Gray Wave 1. A corrective phase is underway, and the market is expected to shift into Gray Wave 3, which should result in substantial movement. The invalidation level of 0.66237 remains crucial for validating the wave structure.   Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) 4-Hour Chart AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Gray Wave 2 Position: Orange Wave 3 Next Higher Degree Direction: Gray Wave 3 Details: Gray Wave 1 appears to be complete, and Gray Wave 2 is now in progress. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 0.66237 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the 4-hour chart indicates that the market is currently in a counter-trend phase, which reflects a temporary correction against the broader trend. The mode of this movement is corrective, suggesting a pullback or pause within the overall trend. The wave structure under analysis is Gray Wave 2, which is developing within the ongoing corrective sequence. At this stage, Gray Wave 1 is considered complete, and the market has now entered Gray Wave 2. According to Elliott Wave Theory, Wave 2 usually represents a retracement or correction after the impulsive move of Wave 1. This corrective phase is typically short-lived before the market resumes its primary trend. Once Gray Wave 2 concludes, the next expected movement is Gray Wave 3. Wave 3 is generally one of the most powerful and extended waves within an Elliott Wave cycle, indicating a strong return to the dominant trend with significant momentum. The critical invalidation level for this analysis is 0.66237. If the market falls below this level, the current Elliott Wave count will be invalidated, requiring a reassessment of the wave structure. This level is key in confirming the continuation of the corrective phase and the eventual transition into Gray Wave 3. Summary: The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the 4-hour chart shows that the market is in a corrective phase, with Gray Wave 2 currently in play following the completion of Gray Wave 1. Traders should anticipate the next move to be Gray Wave 3, which will resume the broader trend. The invalidation level of 0.66237 remains a crucial point for confirming the ongoing correction.

    • As of now, Solana is priced at $139.97, reflecting a 4% increase in the last 24 hours. However, concerns linger in the market due to technical analyses pointing towards a bearish sentiment. The token remains 44.48% below its all-time high of $252.12. With mixed signals emerging, this article explores the current market dynamics and drives you to read the detailed Solana price prediction for future insights. Current Market Sentiment Bearish Signals Weighted Sentiment: Data from Santiment shows a notable drop in Solana’s Weighted Sentiment last week, indicating rising bearish sentiment among investors. Trading Volume Decline: The trading volume for Solana has decreased, suggesting that buyers may lack confidence in the current price level. Bullish Indicators Increase in Social Volume: Despite the bearish atmosphere, Solana’s Social Volume has increased, highlighting its growing popularity in the crypto market. Potential Reversal Signs: A price drop accompanied by reduced trading volume often indicates the possibility of a bullish trend reversal, providing hope for investors. Market Neutrality Fear and Greed Index: The current Fear and Greed Index for Solana is at 54%, suggesting a neutral market sentiment. This indicates that the price could move in any direction. Technical Analysis MACD Indicator: The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a bearish advantage, suggesting that sellers may have the upper hand in the short term. Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI has also shown a downtick, confirming a bearish momentum in the market. Expert Opinions Ryan Lee, Chief Research Analyst at Bitget, offers a more optimistic view for October 2024: Network Activity: Lee emphasizes rising activities within the Solana network and important partnerships that may enhance user sentiment. Price Forecast: He predicts SOL could reach the $160-$180 range by the end of the month if the positive trend continues. Support Levels: Historically, the $110 price level has acted as solid support during downturns, including the significant drop in August. On-Chain Data Insights Total Value Locked (TVL): On-chain data from DeFiLlama shows that Solana's TVL surged to $5.5 billion in September, indicating growing institutional interest. Institutional Endorsements: The interest from asset managers like Franklin Templeton and Citibank further strengthens Solana's position in the market. While Solana currently trades at $140, down 5.86% in the last 24 hours, it is still viewed as a strong investment opportunity ahead of a potential market rebound. The upcoming weeks will be critical in determining if SOL can break through key resistance levels and regain its former glory.
