My etherum position was automatically closed by IG with my profits all gone, I can’t even search them now. Anyone knows what’s happening?

Yes, this happened to me too I had a limit order set just as it reached the limit price to close the position and take a profit  I receive an email position closed sell 2 contracts @ the buy price P/L nil. No information in market info and interestingly I still have a Ether position on my Demo account that says DO NOT USE. I must admit the demo account demonstrated to me  no to go short as you could not cut your losses when it was un-long-able. I would like to know if it is IG's policy to cut winning positions or is it just a glitch with the system that is going to be sorted out. Looking forward to finding out what happened also.

Yes, my position has been reinstated along with the limit price (market closed Sunday 31 about 20.00 in the IG world) the last price 741.50 US   I have had an email sent to me, it looks like IG has dropped the bundling of 10 ether in a mini ether contract, no mention of mini. Existing non- executed orders have been deleted it would seem. Looks like someone is on the job..... I would say there are some people on the platform that would have been ecstatic that their short positions and losses were canceled talk about a happy new year lol!  Still would like to know what is going on tho cheers to all. Happy New Year! especially to those that are working at IG ... many thanks!!!!

Hi all - we emailed all clients to let them know about this a couple of weeks ago and there was a call out exercise, however given the volume of clients, and those who opened in between now and then, we wouldn't have been able to contact everyone one-to-one. I have included the email below for your convenience.

    • Bitcoin and other major crypto experienced a dip in value on Thursday, erasing gains made earlier in the week. The decline came after the Federal Reserve signaled that interest rates would remain high for an extended period, with Bitcoin retreating 2.3% to $26.5K. Despite the bearish pressure,  the founder and CEO of Bitcoin joint mining company Xive,  Didar stated that the stagnant rate increase is positive for Bitcoin. He suggested that this could reduce the attractiveness of mainstream financial assets to institutional investors in the long term, potentially driving a new rally in Bitcoin's price. Major altcoins and exchange tokens also struggled on Thursday, with ETH changing hands at $1,585, down about 2.6% from Wednesday. Other altcoins such as BNB and BGB also experienced losses. Despite these challenges, some analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to remain within its recent range between $25,000 and $30,000. Riyad from digital asset data platform Kaiko, noted that the market needs a catalyst to mount any serious rally.  What are your thoughts? 
    • Traditional banking systems served as the gatekeepers of financial services for long, dictating how people access loans, save, and invest in opportunities. Typically controlled by a centralized system with a single authority such as a bank or government in total charge, this centralization is limited by high fees, restricted accessibility and slow transaction speed. Dentralized finance, DeFi, got introduced as a blockchain-based financial system that removes intermediaries or central authorities, and utilizes smart contracts instead. By eliminating intermediaries, DeFi delivers core benefits like improved accessibility into the financial system for everyone having internet connection regardless of their location. DeFi is also valued for its transparency. While traditional banking system often deny customers audits on how their assets are being managed, DeFi, through the help of blockchain allows anyone access to tracking and auditing transactions, thereby raising trust. Furthermore, DeFi also offers various financial services and products like DEX, lending and borrowing, stablecoins etc, all known to proffer varied innovative solutions, while operating 24/7 in contrast to traditional finance. DeFi isn’t flawless as issues like insecurity, lack of consumer protection etc are still prevalent; however, the growth of DeFi has been impressive; since its introduction, the total value locked in DeFi protocols has grown significantly indicating that the demand for DeFi services is fast growing. DeFi seems to be redefining financial industry by offering an alternative to traditional banking systems. With the increasing adoption, can we expect to see an overhaul in the way we access financial services?        
    • Leverage is good but please use it according to your risk management system coz the higher the leverage the higher the risk, I trade my perpetual futures on Bitget tho, the exchange offers high leverage but I only use according to my risk management system.
