What am I doing wrong? Errors when placing orders on demo account


Recommended Posts

Hi, I opened up a demo account this week and have been getting to grips with the interface.

I'm largely focusing on US small caps and when I wish to place an order I receive these error messages...

  • "This market may not be sold to open due to stock borrowing restrictions in the underlying market" - does this mean that when I want to place a buy order there is no one selling the stock at the same point for me to buy?
  • "System Error" - no idea what this means...once the error message is cleared the platform continues to operate but I'm unable to place any orders on that particular stock.
  • "This stock is only available for non-leveraged trading" - does this mean that the stock is not supported by IG?

I've tried to place orders on around 10-15 stocks over the past few days and have received a combination of these messages for pretty much all of them.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Is this just due to me wishing to day trade US small cap stocks which may not necessarily be supported by IG?

Thanks

    • Hey everyone! It’s a good day, the market’s looking green, and we’re getting closer to the HMSTR listing! I know all of us Tap-to-Earn fans are pumped, myself included. I’ve been busy completing the Gleam tasks on Bitget to take advantage of multiple earning methods and stack up on HMSTR.  In another event Hamster 🐹 also just announced they’ll be taking a snapshot on the 20th, which will give us a clearer picture of what to expect for the airdrop rewards. Things are really heating up, and I’m super excited for what’s coming next!  How about you guys? Who else is feeling the hype for this drop?
    • Binance NEIRO launch has been met with confusion as the listing team lists two different memecoins on Futures and Spot under the NEIRO ticker. This mix-up quickly resulted in a high volatility both upwardly and downwardly, and market manipulation accusations. An unfortunate incident that led to massive loss for traders that bought the top. As it ought to have been, both NEIROs: NEIROETH and NEIROCTO are correctly trading on Bitget as two different tokens, maintaining high vol and liquidity.  For a top exchange, one would expect due diligence from Binance listing team, price integrity and zero market manipulation. Anything less is a slap on the faces of users who deserve utmost transparency.
