[Guest SneakFreak123]

Hi Im new to IG and CFD. I have a few questions.

 

Is the markets closed on weekend?

I cant close or open new positions for ETH.

 

Hope someone out there can guide me.

Thx!!

Hi  - good ideas and thanks for the feedback. In regards tot he 24/7 crypto trading, unfortunately I don't think will be likely in the short to mid term. The reason for this is that we need to perform system maintenance, release updates to the software etc, and all of these roll outs and checks happen over the weekend. Crypto has only really boomed these last 12 months, so although it would be something to look at going forwards, we need to take a number of other things into consideration (staffing, server load, longevity of providing 24/7 coverage etc. 

 

In regards to your second point, we do try and put it in all the appropriate areas, such as the IG.com, Help and Support portal, and contract notes, however I see if there is any additional areas we can look to put it.
