Updating of prices, overnight

[pn5]

Rather irritating when IG fail to update opening prices on cartain shares. For example Avacta, opening today, apparently, down 12 points (approx 8%). Why? Because the platform has not been "updated" for three days. It should return to zero at the start of the trading day. That 12 point fall has accumulated over three days. Anyone looking in might believe Avacta have fallen 12 points at the open. Very misleading. Very irritating. And made worse because it happens frequently.

I see the Avacta SP has now been corrected. Is that as a result of my post?

 

Surely not . . . as my first post has not been moderated yet, after two hours. And yet, the edit which I applied a couple of minutes after posting has now disappeared . . .

 

First time I have used this platform. Not impressed.
