Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Question

Morning All,
I have been using this platform for over a year now but this is my 1st post. So hello..
Apologies for the rant but here goes: Call me cynical but why is it that there is great difficulty for IG to execute orders on the platform at 8:00 am when there are good profits to be had but orders are executed immediately when not.
Just wondering if anyone else had issues with late executions on orders, in particular on trades where there are good opportunities for the little Guy with orders also being restricted to telephone orders only at 8:00 am and online orders restricted? See below:-
I placed a short Limit Order this morning on Astra Zeneca and Buy Stop Order on Deutche telecom, all were accepted before 8:00am :- see below. These weren't executed until 08:05 am and 08:02 respectively, however NOT at the agreed price but far later which in turn caused me firstly to lose my profits and secondly to get Stopped out as a result. Where I feel some what aggrieved is that as retail traders we seem to have to lose out on the missed profits not because of any fault of our own but still have to accept the losses after poor or slow execution. I'm happy to take losses all day as a result of my own decisions but this seems a bit hard to swallow. As I said, what chance do we have against the institutions when this happens. Somebody made a lot of money this morning and it wasn't me.
Now I know why they say 66% of retail traders lose money! See Trail below Time stamp on RH side.
Any thoughts? Cheers.
