Again today the same is happening. Significant that IG do not comment on this post. I am considering switching to another provider.

Hi @BBHoward,

Thanks for your post. 

The Bid column should be your right hand side column.

The current price shows the the lowest price and quantity available at that price, for example you can buy 56 shares at 1100.00 for ANTO, if you want more shares. The next best price would be 1101 with two sellers, one happy to sell at 1101 another with 164 shares available and one with 247 shares at the same price. Hence the prices are in a increasing order.

For example: If you are purchasing 1000 shares for examples, you will be filled using current offer and the 4 rows below the current price.

I hope that it helps.

If you need further assistance please reach out to helpdesk.uk@ig.com.

Thank you - Arvin

Arvin,

Thank you for your reply but with respect it does appear that you do not understand L2.

Surely the Bid column is on the left and Offer on the right?

Left hand side are Bids to Buy

Right hand side Offers to sell.

But you are only referring to the right hand column in your reply.  That is in order and increases one penny at  a time.

However looking at the Left Hand side there are prices below which are higher than the current bid but still appear below.

 

Looking at my L2 Manual (below) it shows left Hand Column 10 as Bid and right hand column  13 as Offer.

Please tell me that you are not working for IG helpdesk.

Hi @BBHoward

Thanks for reaching out, 

This is odd, we contacted our shares desk on this issue and they have suggested that it could be a display issue, likely to do with a bad connection. They have asked that you call in when it occurs again so that we can compare it with what the actual order book looks like at the time, and possibly we can raise a ticket to be investigated by our IT team. 

All the best, 

Anda

    • I believe this is nothing but a witch hunt cos apparently Binance is on its way to been the biggest company world over. Also, there are rumours that all this hapenings could be BlackRock making a move to clear the house ahead of the most awaited ETF. Notwithstanding, i took precautionary measures and moved my funds to Bitget and Bybit, better to be safe than sorry yah.
    • Crypto industry maybe seen as one of the fastest growing industries in the world today, boasting of a remarkable growth that is capable of making many forget in a hurry all the hurdles it had to beat during its infancy. Although not void of limitations still, no industry is anyways, it has well exceeded early expectations and earned global interest. So scrolling through my Instagram feeds today and seeing the footballing icon and 8th time Ballon d'or winner, Lionel Messi’s post of him celebrating his 1 year anniversary partnership with the crypto exchange, Bitget, I was left reminiscing all the challenges the industry had to overcome to get to where it is today. As a crypto enthusiast who is eager to see the industry reach greater heights, such high-profile partnership thrills me. For one, for the industry to leap further, the issue of lack of trust must be resolved. Lionel Messi well understands his position in his country Argentina as a demi-god, his 500m global followers on IG idolise him. He and his crew must have done their background checks before endorsing the crypto exchange to protect his reputation and also for his followers’ interest. The global reach from this partnership is also a win for the exchange and the industry in general. It portrays the exchange as trustworthy and reliable, and readily welcomes newbies, further boosting crypto adoption. 2009-2023 has been an adventurous journey for the crypto industry, there might have been some tides here and there but the ship is sailing smoothly. Has crypto industry striked mainstream adoption to afford sealing high-profile partnerships like this? 
    • Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has admitted to violating US anti-money laundering laws, which may result in him facing jail time. This news comes as a surprise to many, as CZ is highly regarded in the industry, unlike some other exchange founders who have been caught engaging in fraudulent activities.   The US Justice Department is now seeking a longer prison sentence than the initial 12-18 months and has also denied CZ's request to travel despite his trial starting in February 2024.   Following the news of Binance CZ's guilty plea, more than $1 billion was withdrawn from Binance as investors sought out more secure options due to the uncertainty surrounding the exchange and US regulations.   This raises the question of how this situation will impact the long-term future of cryptocurrency, as well as which exchanges are best for investors at this time.
