Platform Improvements

On the laptop platform, would it be possible to have any stock tabs be highlighted at the top of your screen in some way when an associated Alert for that stock has been triggered?

Maybe, if not, then at least show the Alert section tab highlighted to show there is a newly triggered Alert.

The current system of a temporary alert banner can be missed if you step away, and means you have to continually check through your alert status.

Many thanks.

@ArvinIG

I would like to make a few additional suggestions for improving the platform.

I understand that all products are shown in every account-type even if some can't be traded from within that account, eg a "non-leveraged only" product will still be shown in a spread-bet or CFD account (and note that the "Margin" info tab for some reason incorrectly continues to show a table of margin tiers that actually don't apply to a non-leveraged product.). Other products are sometimes "no controlled risk", "unborrowable", "closing only", etc. it's incredibly annoying and time-consuming to search through a list of results, pick out individual stocks/products, see a chart you like then have to check the info tab to see if you can actually trade the product. Why could there not be a series of symbols or letters in one or more columns, like there is for the "market open/closed" column (that, for example,  sometimes has a "telephone only" symbol), but also included in the search results so that one can instantly see which products can be "eliminated from enquiries"?

Perhaps the Alert feature could be augmented to include being able to be set to notify when "unborrowable" stocks, e.g. recent IPOs, become borrowable or when positions that were "closing only" go back to normal trading (if that ever happens).

Also, in "Positions" I can see my total gain or loss for each position but not that day's movement, unless I duplicate the Positions into a separate custom list which DOES have this column, but if I do that then I cannot enter the position size as well so I have to flick back and forth between two almost identical windows. Also, it would be really useful to have a separate toggleable on/off column that could show the total margin currently being used by each position. Currently, if I have to bring up a deal ticket as if to close the position, just to see how much margin is being consumed, I'm at risk of mis-clicking and closing the position unintentionally. 

Thanks.

Hi @HeOfMuchDisgrunt,

I understand it would be quicker for you to only see what is available. There has been feedback about being able to see the margin per position on the position screen. 

I will forward all your suggestion to the relevant department to be reviewed.

All the best - Arvin

Cheers, dude! Good to get an acknowledgement.
Do please let us all know what the tech team say.

People don't mind offering feedback on the understanding that not every single 'genius' customer idea can be implemented immediately, but what irks people the most is to give seemingly good, constructive ideas and have no feedback at all as to why the idea can't be used now or ever. It drives us nuts as customers when we obviously know what we want and what we aren't getting even though we realise the requested add-ons aren't difficult to bolt on from a coding perspective.

Hi @HeOfMuchDisgrunt,

We do have a forum thread for feedback https://community.ig.com/forums/forum/14-feedback-and-suggestions/ .

We are collecting feedback on a daily basis on the community and forward it to the relevant department. The more feedback we have on a topic the more likely the developers will consider the idea ( if it is a reasonable project)

I hope that it gives you some assurance that we do forward the suggestions. 

We are working on improving our platform and we want our clients to be in the center of it.

All the best - Arvin

Hi, 

Is it possible to have some risk management measures into the deal ticket? 

For example - I have attached an image. Is it possible to put price or pips as opposed to just pips in the profit target and stop loss fields. Also percentage of the account risked for each trade if the user puts a stoploss. Also percentage gain for the profit target based on the price or pips . This will greatly help manage my risk. 

What does everything think? 

 

Thanks

Hi @mzministry

Thank you for reaching. 

We have a few features you mentioned on our platform. I have attached a screenshot as reference. 

When you insert the number of points as the stop or limit distance, the level (price) reflects below in grey and the profit/loss in blue/red. Thank you for your feedback. We will send your feedback to the relevant department regarding the percentage risked feature for each trade. All the best, OfentseIG

    • In general, I will start with the fact that I was looking for a cube would be possible to invest money to multiply Some bets, stock exchanges didn't really work for me. I decided to look for something really worthwhile. In general I got to cryptocurrency, studied it for a while and tried to get into it. Then I got interested in all sorts of nft, metaverse, and so on And then I found a quite interesting and fresh project It's called Sabai Ecoverse. There, and you can earn from zero, and multiply the capital. In general, I just started to get into it. Can you also look at and say your opinion, please

    • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a so-called Wells notice on Coinbase which saw the stock down heavily after-hours last night on Wall Street.    Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 23 March 2023  This is a document indicating that the SEC is preparing to act against some parts of the business. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor explains that as the story develops, and more is heard, traders will be able to make a better judgment. Coinbase shares plunge The crypto exchange Coinbase fell more than 22% yesterday late in the session, all-sessions on the IG platform, it trades outside of hours, and it was this trading that represented a big drop in the share price. Share price chart Let's take a look at what happened because it explains the situation quite well. We have subsequently this morning seen a little bit of a rebound, but that 22% drop came after the company was issued a so-called Wells notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Wells notice is often one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges against the business, generally laying out the framework for what happens next. So we've got this drop that came through last night. We've subsequently seen a little bit of a rise on the session. CNBC said last night that based on discussions with the staff that potentially enforcement actions would relate to aspects of the company's spot market staking service, Coinbase Earn, Coinbase Prime and also the Coinbase Wallet business. Now the SEC is on high alert in the crypto industry in the wake of the failure of FTX. The recent gains we've seen in Coinbase have really all been about what's been happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen a whopping 47 and three quarter percent from the lows we had back on the 10th of March, all the way up to the highs we saw on Wednesday, yesterday, mid-session before the pullback. It's acting a little bit like a safe haven in the world of the markets. But Coinbase reflected this to some degree. But that knock yesterday was a really big pullback. But the investors are regrouping around the business and see this stock now up all-sessions, up 7% today. Where it'll open remains to be seen, but I suspect we could well see a little bit of a drop at the start later on today on Wall Street.
