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

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.

    • As the bull run approaches, it's imperative to interact with exchanges that are secure and user-oriented. One way to assess this is by looking at their practice of constantly updating their Proof of Reserves (POR) and protection funds, which showcases transparency.   Bitget recently published its updated Proof of Reserves, reflecting a strong financial position with a total reserve ratio of 166%. This update underscores their commitment to transparency and user fund security, offering users reassurance about the platform's asset backing and liquidity.   The Proof of Reserves report provides an in-depth look at the exchange's holdings, detailing reserve ratios for major assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether (USDT). Each of these assets maintains a reserve ratio significantly above 100%, indicating that Bitget holds more than the total user balances in these assets, ensuring full backing and coverage.   By maintaining high reserve ratios, this demonstrates its proactive approach to safeguarding user assets and its dedication to best practices in asset transparency and security within the cryptocurrency industry. What do you think about this practice?
    • Bitcoin has been on a brilliant surge, reaching a new ATH of around $89,864. Although the price might have slumped slightly since then, it still has a thrilling 30% surge over the past seven days and 102% surge in 2024, while expectations are rife that its price could rise significantly higher before the end of 2024. Historically, whenever the world’s biggest cryptocurrency is on a tear as this, the market comes alive. While this has also applied in this current surge, memecoin enthusiasts will be keen to witness exponential pump orchestrated by the Bitcoin’s happy mood. For a good part of the year, memecoins have garnered the most attention particularly within Solana and Ton ecosystems, if memecoin market will witness a major rally, then these ecosystems will surely be on the forefront. With this likelihood, all eyes seems to be fixated on PNUT, a meme token on Solana Blockchain. The token pays homage to Late PNUT, a social media sensation squirrel rescued in 2017 by Mark Longo after its mother was killed by a car in New York City. Backed by Beeple, Elon Musk, Doge, Wif, and Justin Sun; PNUT successfully launched on Bitget where its volume is on the rise.  Bitcoin soars, could PNUT and other meme gaints respond accordingly?
    • Tron (TRX) has been showing impressive growth lately. Currently trading between $0.16 and $0.17 as per Coinpedia Markets, the price has increased by nearly 32% over the past six months. This steady upward movement is backed by bullish technical indicators, including a Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 50 and a positive MACD. These signals suggest that TRX could continue to rise, especially if it breaks through its nearest resistance at $0.17. If that happens, TRX Price may reach the next level of $0.18, offering a potential gain of about 6%. Support Levels and Stability Support levels for TRX are currently at $0.16 and $0.15, providing some downside protection. Both the 10-day and 100-day simple moving averages at $0.16 indicate that TRX has maintained price stability in recent weeks. Although the price has shown moderate changes, with a 0.15% increase over the past week and a 3.52% rise over the last month, the overall trend remains positive. Rounding-Bottom Reversal and Fibonacci Levels Tron Coin is also forming a rounding-bottom reversal pattern, currently testing the 38.20% Fibonacci level at $0.1686. This technical setup could signal a bullish breakout if TRX manages to break above this key level. The broader price action also shows a rising wedge pattern, which increases the chances of a successful breakout as the market recovers. Network Growth Supports Tron Crypto Price On the network front, Tron has seen impressive growth. TronScan reports that the total value locked (TVL) on the network has surpassed $18 billion, with daily transactions nearing 9 million. The number of accounts has also grown significantly, reaching 271.38 million. This positive network activity supports a strong Tron Price Prediction as demand for Tron Crypto continues to rise. With increasing momentum and network growth, TRX Crypto seems poised for further gains.
