Unlongable? You mean only HODL, absolutely no trading allowed.


Recommended Posts

Can't long, only short and that's 90% of the time.

I may as well buy the real thing and HODL because that's all this broker can do right now.

Can't swing trade because you never know when you can long again

Can't do anything intra-day because you never know when you can long

IG = HODL only.

Also can't short when very volatile because I don't know.

 

Can we get like a net position limit per customer? James, you probably have 60% + of your bitcoin positions being long term HODLers who don't care about overnight interest rates. That isn't trading, they can head to local bitcoins with an envelope of cash under the table.

i entirely agree. the inability to buy back has become an inhibition against selling when it would otherwise be the right thing to do. short term trading is now impossible on IG all of whose crypto markets have been unlongable today. having actually sold ETH at the top of the market ( a rare success) I have had to sit and watch it crawl back up with no chance of going long and no idea when a buy will be permitted. i think it is time to look elsewhere.

I absolutely sympathize. I sold my bitcoins at what I thought was a daily high and was right. Later I realised I was actually wrong because now I couldn't buy back and have missed on later gains.

 

Unfortunately their competition is unacceptable too. IG is still better than *****oro and premium500

There was opportunity today to buy ETH as price was dropping around lunchtime.

 

I was waiting for that moment for people to sell off at $1200- had been discussing in a different thread. As price dropped it allows long biased traders to add to their positions. There will be plenty of opportunities to go long and short yet but yes you do need to keep checking the market info tab for when you can get in.
