I keep getting my BTC trades rejected with no explanation other than'rejected sorry'. Are people coming across the same issue?

 

I raised a ticket with the support desk and apparently the reason for the rejections is that the market was in an 'un-longable' state at the time I attempted my trades. I don't understand why, if the market is open, we are not allowed to place a long position.

 

It almost feels like trades are not allowed when they have a high probability of being winners?

 

Keen to hear if anyone is experiencing this problem.

Big scam report from Canada involving Bitcoin ATM's . 45 people lose $340,000.

2 points, caller id on your phone can be faked, and scammers are demanding payment into a Bitcoin ATM.

Ouch on the scam! As well as placing leaflets at the bitcoin ATMs, the police should be placing leaflets in banks saying, "don't withdraw your savings and give them to a stranger".

An interesting article about Bitfinex, I'll definitely continue to avoid them. When you look at what happened at say Equifax, or remember the Bangladesh Bank losing $101 million to hackers, it is any surprise there are also badly run and poorly secured exchanges. It's a shame they don't offer any constructive advice about how to invest safely in the article.

James, why is trading in cryptos frozen sometimes? What if want to liquidate a position and its low volume?

Hi  - if you were in a position you would be able to close your deal (provided the market was open on IG). The 'unlongable' and 'unborrowable' rejections would only stop a new trade being booked onto an account. I hope this clarifies things.

What would be useful is if we could get a notification when trading crypto currencies is frozen and then unfrozen. At the moment I just have to keep checking manually on each of the ones I want to trade

If I have a position in Etheruem and my stop or limit isn't hit, will it rollover until tomorrow?

 - yes - all positions will remain open until you either close the position, your stop is hit, or your losses on the account cause margin issues which would cause the position to close. We don't 'roll' positions (close and reopen) they simply stay open until the above criteria are hit.

Agree. Been trying to set up buy orders for over 20mins now...market moving alot and i cant get in. Frustrating! Alerts as to when one can place an order would save a lot of time.

Haha, Now I found another issue when I think it was brought up in the past too, I am sorry I know I should read up. I tried to buy btc when it was tradiing at 10800 this morning when it was an obvious gain and guess what, I got a "You cannot currently buy this market to open a position" error popped up. Some smart algorithm knew that a lot of people "fomoing" (fear of missing out) and the system rejected my buy order! and for goodness sake, You all are already charging 0.0416% parking fees for each day and why are u all rejecting our longs? I find its quite ridiculous.

And it happened again half hour ago when bitcoin dipped. This does seem like a deliberate automated action whenever price dips to a very potentially profitable level. A possible solution iv found - being a savvy scot - is to have orders in the background (granted it eats up your balance with the margin). When price looks good edit to a price that will execute immediately. Voila!

    • Bitcoin halving is set for this week. Bitcoin Halving Event The cryptocurrency was hit hard over the weekend after Iran carried out a series of strikes against Israeli territory. The attack, in response to Israel’s attack on Iran’s consulate in Syria at the start of the month, saw in excess of 350 drones and missiles launched by Iran. According to the Israel Defence Force (IDF), ‘99%’ of these ‘threats’ were successfully intercepted. With the cryptocurrency sector being the only market open over the weekend, traders used the sector’s liquidity to hedge risk. Bitcoin hit a low of $60.6k as news of the impending strike filtered through, while Ethereum hit a multi-week low of $2,845. In the altcoin space, losses of 25% or more were seen, sparking multiple liquidation stories. Prices across the board are pushing higher today, but the weekend’s losses will take some time to fully recover. The weekend sell-off saw Bitcoin fall below both the 20- and 50-day simple moving averages for the first time since late January. Both of these will need to be recovered convincingly, along with a prior resistance-turned-support level at $69k, before Bitcoin can make a fresh attempt at the mid-March $73.78k all-time high. BITCOIN DAILY PRICE CHART – APRIL 15TH, 2024     Ethereum is over 3% higher today after making a multi-month low of $2,845 on Saturday. Ethereum must reclaim both the 20- and 50-day moving averages before $ 3,582 comes back into play. Above here, the April 8th/9th double high at $3,728 comes into focus.

    • Silver Elliott Wave Analysis  Function -Trend Mode - Trend Structure - Impulse for (A) Position - Wave 3 of (A) Direction - Wave 4 of (A)  Details - Currently in wave 4 dip before further rallies for wave 5 of (A) higher. We should see one more leg lower for wave 4. The current bullish resurgence on Silver started in January 2024 after a sideways move in over a year prior. By projection, it doesn’t look like this bullish run is ending soon. Buyers will continue to wait for dips to buy. With Elliott wave theory, we can identify the identity of the dips and when a bigger pullback is on the way. The current dip that started on 12 April 2024 is expected to take a leg lower before the bullish trend resumes. In today’s commodity blog post, we will look at the position of the current price in the larger framework and what target traders should expect for the current bullish trend.    On the daily time frame, we could identify that the current rally is part of a bigger bullish correction that started on March 20, 2022 at 11.645. Since then, a double zigzag pattern has been emerging upwards, labelled waves (w)-(x)-(y) of the supercycle degree. Wave (w) ended at 30.08 on 3rd February 2021 and wave (x) concluded at 17.56 on 31 August 2022. By projection, wave (y) could reach 44.995 if we get a 100% relationship between (w) and (y) which often happens with zigzag structured. From the 2022 low of 17.56, wave (y) is emerging and itself now sub-divides into blue waves ‘W’-’X’-’Y’ - a double zigzag pattern. Blue wave ‘W’ ended on 3rd February 2023 at 24.65 before price entered in to a triangle sideways structure for blue wave ‘X’ that lasted for over a year.  Currently, we are in wave (y) of the supercycle degree that can sub-divide into at least three waves. Current rally is the first leg or first leg of the first sub-wave of (x). If we go with the latter, then we are in wave (A) of w of (x) but if we go with the former, we are in wave a of (w). All these may sound confusing to a beginner in the subject of Elliott wave theory. We can just focus on wave (A) ahich is expected to be an impulse from 21.929. The H4 time frame shows its sub-waves more clearly. On the H4 time frame, we are currently in wave 4 pullback of wave (A). 1st and 2nd legs of wave 4 seem to have completed. We will expect another leg lower into the 26.86-26.07 Fibonacci extension zone where wave 4 might find a support for further rallies in wave 5 of (A). Therefore, we can conclude that current dip has not violated the bullish development in anyway. It’s just an opportunity for new and existing buyers to get in long positions from the dip.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
