Yes, many new problems this week on Demo API. There was no reason for it to be switched off yesterday - it was a normal trading day in most markets.

An example of the faults today is that it appears (from examples) that all of the options markets data returned have the marketStatus field set to 'CLOSED'.  The daily and futures index markets also appear to be non-functional - not even any price data. This means large amounts of time lost for no good reason for those IG clients who are affected.

To be frank, it is extraordinary that this sort of thing is tolerated in a company with a billion pound revenue. Is it an example of 'too big to care'?

I have an application that connects to DEMO via the API and it has been working fine all day yesterday (2024-05-06) and today (2024-05-07).

This is interesting given the fatal problems observed by some of us. What markets have you been accessing, and how? Could it be that the problem is limited to the REST API? (It's what I use, for technical reasons).

My app makes trades in futures based markets: indices, commodities, bonds and rates, FX. No options. REST API. And gets capital every half hour or so. Admittedly there were not many trades in the last couple of days.

I did notice a couple of 500 server errors, which was more than normal

I'm seeing the same - within the IOS app I can make demo spreadbet trades, and using the lightstreamer with the same application key as I use for the REST API, the EPIC (e.g. CS.D.GBPUSD.TODAY.IP) comes back as tradable but via the REST API it's coming back as closed

Hmmm... maybe there's some kind of A/B testing going on & @TheGuru12, @Elroch & I are in the 'change' group. Who knows... annoying though.

Demo just needs some TLC lol. I've just switched to live but monitoring it' Always good to test against Demo first but just wait until it comes back ha.

Can any of the longer term members advise, is it typical for the demo REST API to be down for this long (its still showing as the market is closed for me), and do IG give any status updates?

I understand its hardly going be that high on IG's priority list  (though I knew someone who worked at IG many years ago and I thought he advised it was the hot DR system). Just wondering if its unusual.

Yeah still getting closed for me too. Does anyone know if the email webapisupport@ig.com or helpdesk.uk@ig.com emails are still monitored. Might be worth collectively emailing to get traction.

    • after last weeks sell off'  a chart showing price in a possible discount & at a previous level of interest 
    • Solana ($SOL) is facing a challenging period in the market, with its price dropping to $130.56 USD. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening and what might be next for SOL. Recent Price Decline 15.17% Drop in a Month: Over the past month, Solana coin has fallen by 15.17%. This decline reflects the broader market’s pressure on the cryptocurrency. 8.5% Weekly Fall: Just this week, Solana saw an 8.5% drop, a sign that bears are firmly in control. Despite attempts to maintain a bullish outlook, the market seems to have different plans. Critical Support Levels Breakdown of $134 Support: Recently, SOL broke through the $134 support level, raising concerns that further declines could be on the way. Key Support at $122: The $122 level is now under the spotlight. This price point has been tested six times, and many whales view it as crucial. A break below this could push SOL towards $90. But if this support holds, it might set the stage for a bullish turnaround. $100 Support: While the $100 support level is still a bit distant, it’s essential to watch if the current bearish momentum continues. Revisiting this level could spell trouble for Solana. Changing Market Sentiment Shift to Bearish: The overall sentiment around Solana is slowly turning bearish. Since March, SOL has struggled to make new highs, and the current price action suggests that new lows could be coming. Potential Bullish Outcome: However, some analysts believe that if Solana manages to stay above $122 throughout 2024 and 2025, it could be incredibly bullish for the future, possibly leading to significant gains in 2025. Upcoming Breakpoint Event Historical Price Surges: There’s a potential catalyst on the horizon. Historically, Solana has seen price surges two weeks before its annual Breakpoint event. In previous years, SOL surged by 35% in 2021 and 2022, and by 60% in 2023. 2024 Event: With 16 days left until the 2024 Breakpoint event, could we see another rally? Only time will tell. The Importance of $122 Support As Solana approaches the $122 support level, all eyes are on whether it will hold. A break below could lead to further declines, while maintaining this support could bring back some bullish momentum. As always, stay informed, and remember the old adage in crypto: "buy the rumor, sell the news." Keep watching the charts as we near the 2024 Breakpoint event.  
    • One of the prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has maintained its commitment to user security through its Protection Fund. This self-insured fund, designed to safeguard user assets against potential threats such as hacks, fraud, and market volatility, has shown remarkable stability and growth. The fund has consistently maintained a value above $390 million, surpassing Bitget's initial commitment of $300 million. The exchange ability to continues to maintain a reserve ratio well above 150%, indicating a strong buffer against potential risks. The fund's value has shown correlation with Bitcoin's price movements, demonstrating its responsiveness to market conditions. Over the observed period, the fund's value peaked at $424.8 million and reached a low of $350.7 million, showcasing its ability to withstand market volatility while maintaining a substantial baseline. In February, the fund reached an all-time high valuation of over $543 million, coinciding with broader market uptrends. The Protection Fund's portfolio includes high-liquidity cryptocurrencies such as BTC, USDT, and USDC, which contributes to its stability and liquidity. This diversification strategy aims to mitigate risks associated with external market factors. Bitget's approach of self-funding and internally managing the Protection Fund allows for potentially quicker response times in critical situations, as it operates independently of external regulations and approvals. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, the performance and management of such security measures will likely remain a point of interest for both users and industry observers.
