Shouldn't happen  - If I go to the supermarket and something is marked up for sale @ £X then the supermarket is obliged to sell it at that price, as that is the price they are clearly selling the item for

IG's systems are their problem and the 3rd parties that provide the data - pricing errors like this are IG's responsibility - If they can't handle providing accurate prices then they shouldn't offer the market

If it were me I'd look into the law around this to make sure IG aren't using your good faith to wriggle out of the commitment of honouring the trade!

You opened the trade in good faith, held it in good faith (what if the error was in the opposite direction? I bet they'd not be as quick to say it was an error) and then as with a very healthily profit in good faith you've sold as any intelligent person would have done

Yes alarm bells should be ringing for a £98 Investment turning into £31k lol - but that ain't your fault

The number of errors and complaints IG are having of late is a little bit worrying too

Haha, brillant, 6 years on here since the forum started and not heard IG slip up that badly before.

Shame it wasn't an extra couple of zeros and you could ave been in Brazil by now.

But as per if your bank accidently credits your account with mistaken funds they do have the right to claim it back.

Do check the exchange charts though just in case they'e wrong.

    • Today is NFP, a lot of volatility is expected. Todays close (weekly close) will determine the short term future. Support stands at 2K.
    • There were some muted gains in Asia overnight, but the main mover was the Nikkei, which slumped another 1.7% as the yen continued to strengthen and Japanese GDP was revised down. Hints from the Bank of Japan this week have prompted a flight of short sellers from the yen on expectations that 2024 will finally see some policy tightening in Japan, just as other central banks contemplate cutting rates. Meanwhile, oil clawed back some losses as Russia and Saudi Arabia called on other OPEC+ members to adhere to the recently-agreed production cuts, but both Brent and WTI are still down heavily for the week. US non-farm payrolls are the main event of the day, with the focus on whether job growth is slowing or remaining resilient.
