I had shorts as well as some orders sitting in the background. When the Price dropped yesterday and I finally had the chance for my shorts to come good I couldn't sell!! Was a nightmare and had to phone IG for them to cancel all my orders in order to be able to sell my shorts. Cashed in at a loss and will never buy short again! Good luck!

Using points on my Boll Bands to draw support and resistance lines Bitcoin USD (DFB) based on IG pricing it will need to break through 17500 to get any excitement going during these historic 24hrs.

 

Then again it has to be said a new order is developing therefore initial surprises can be expected.

 

May also have to wait for the US markets to open. I'm off !!!!!

Hi all. Let me try and answer a few points in one post. 

 

When a market is unlongable / unborrowable you won't be able to open a new position at the current market price, or set a working order. If you try you would get rejected. This is currently displayed on the 'info' section as below, and also noted via the rejection message.

The reason for this is this is due to internal limits from IG in regards to the value of bitcoin held. Cryptocurrencies have inherent risks associated with holding them, and although we hold significant coins (in the region of tens of millions of pounds worth) we do have a limit. 

 

Everyone at IG (both the dealing desk and senior management) are aware of the frustration it can cause to be rejected, and we are looking at other options to hedge your positions and shall continue to refine the offering. It's not only in our interest to sort this issue from a customer satisfaction point of view, but also a financial point of view - obviously there is no commission paid on a rejected trade. 

 

Different brokers have different methods for hedging / dealing, have different risk parameters, and different methods for allowing clients to trade. Some won't allow each client to have more than a couple thousand dollars worth of exposure, some won't be leveraged, soome will have a huge spread, and some have significant overnight funding charges. You can see a bit of a cost comparison here to see how IG stacks up against the competition. 

 

Working orders: If you have a confirmed working order with IG and it's triggered, then you will get filled even if the market with IG is unlongable / unborrowable.

 

Stops / Limits: If your positions has a stop or limit hit then you will still get filled (and your position closed) even if the market is unlongable / unborrowable

 

Closing an open position: if you have an open position and you are looking to close it at the current market price you will always be able to do so even if the market is unlongable / unborrowable. 

 

In regards to  trade - please give our dealing desk a call and they'll be able to go through any rejections. Unfortunately we can't discuss your trade activity on an open public forum. 

 

In regards to some comments earlier on in the thread. Please keep things civil. We have had to remove some posts and an individual has been banned for breaking the IG Community terms of service.

    • Just recently, I wrote an article about how a Solana blockchain art project (Artrade) is helping artists raise their earnings and even further transforming their physical works into RWA essentially NFTs. With that in mind, I came across Rarible, a marketplace that focuses on digital art and NFTs and the similarities of the platforms caught my attention. Rarible allows artists to sell their creations as NFTs, essentially digital certificates of ownership and cuts out middlemen, connecting artists directly with buyers. Beyond trading, Rarible offers a somewhat user-friendly interface for creating NFTs, even for beginners.   The platform unlike Artrade is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses its own token, RARI, for governance and rewarding active users. In the long term they seem building with the goal of becoming a DAO in the future While it’s still early days, I have no doubt Rarible offers a unique approach to buying, selling, and creating digital art, and the recent listing on Bitget will further expose it to new communities and potential investors.   Do you think RARI's approach will be sustainable as a marketplace for NFTs?
    • Soybeans Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend  Mode - Impulse  Structure - Impulse for (5)  Position - Wave 1 of (5) Direction - Wave 2 of (5) Details - Wave 1 of (5) completing with a diagonal. Wave 2 bounce is emerging before the price turns downside for 3 of (5). Invalidation now at 1226’6. Not much has changed since the last update.   Soybean Price Analysis: Elliott Wave Perspective Signals Continued Downward Trend   In the realm of commodity trading, Soybean has recently undergone a significant downturn, marking a nearly 7% drop since March 21st. This decline appears to be part of a broader trend that commenced back in June 2022. However, before this recent descent, there was a brief period of respite characterized by a corrective bounce starting in late February.    Delving deeper into the price action, an Elliott Wave analysis sheds light on the intricacies of Soybean's movement. The daily chart's decline since June 2022 reveals a corrective pattern, delineated into waves A-B-C, as denoted by blue annotations.   The initial wave, labeled as Blue Wave 'A', terminated at 1249 in October 2023, exhibiting a distinct diagonal pattern. Subsequently, a modest rebound ensued, marked by Blue Wave 'B', which concluded at 1398 in November 2023. However, the ascendancy was short-lived as the bears regained control, manifesting in the ongoing development of Blue Wave 'C'. This wave, evolving into an impulse wave, has currently progressed to wave (5) following the completion of wave (4) in March 2024.   Zooming in on the H4 chart, a granular analysis reveals the sub-waves of wave (5). Wave 1 of (5) concluded with a diagonal structure, followed by a corrective phase as the price undergoes a temporary upside correction to complete wave 2. Despite uncertainties regarding whether wave 2 has fully concluded or will undergo another upward leg, the overarching trajectory remains clear – a downward break is anticipated to continue wave 3 of (5), leading to further downside movement.   In light of this analysis, the prevailing sentiment favors sellers, who continue to assert dominance over the commodity market. As long as the price remains below 1226’6, the outlook remains skewed towards further downside potential, with the possibility of reaching the lowest price point since November 2020.   In conclusion, the Elliott Wave perspective offers valuable insights into Soybean's price dynamics, signaling a continued bearish trajectory in the near term. While short-term fluctuations may occur, the broader trend suggests that sellers are likely to maintain control, shaping the commodity's price action in the foreseeable future.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
