IG not accepting opening trades

[Trader90]

Hi guys,

 

I have tried to set up 2 trades for tomorrow but both times it has stated that IG is not accepting opening trades in this market, you may only place an order to close. 
 

Is this the same for all markets? And can I purchase tomorrow morning when the market opens?

 

thank you

Hi @Trader90 and Sam,

It is likely that the market is unborrowable:


Therefore you can't go short to open a position on that market.

I hope that it helps.

All the best - Arvin

Check the market cap.

 

IG dont allow stocks with a cap of under £1Billion  so, guess its one that was over a billion .. hence its there but is now under a billion, hence you cant open a trade.

 

So its not really there , but people who are still in it can exit
