IG platform is just plain bad

Question

IG have responded to a request regarding the unsatisfactory operations of their web trader platforms.

The web platform has known issues, i.e. it does not show the correct prices of the underlying market as the market prices change. If you are a trader who places a trade based on the ticket price, or the bar/candle chart, or the horizontal fill lines, be aware!! I have sent graphic shots of three different entry prices on the same chart at the same time depending on whether you are looking at the ticket, the bar or the entry order lines.

The response from IG is copied below:

Thanks for your email. There is already an investigation for the problem where sometimes the bid/ask price will fall outside of what is displayed on the charts, the reference number for it is INC0337629. It is a display problem which does not affect the execution of the trade, it also only seems to happen on the web platform so if you are unsure of the chart price then you can compare it to the chart price on the mobile app.

What is so surprising is that someone in a support role is so ignorant of trading. Any trader who manually enters a position or manages stops manually is at a distinct disadvantage with IG...of course your trade is affected if the price on the chart/bar is 6708 and you get filled at 6710 (when the spread is 1 point)..but of course you should know to have your phone app running at the same time to make sure your web price is at the real price !! Really, seriously?

My suggestion: Dont trade with IG. They have shown here they know they have an issue but are happy not to oblige their clients with refunds when their platform fills at wrong prices. 

You have been warned....

    • Many top leading altcoin are currently retracing but i feel $sol will hit $300 soon 
    • Is obvious that Trump victory and institutional buying are responsible for the current trend but will it sustain it. These movements were largely influenced by expectations of a more permissive regulatory environment under Trump's administration. Some analysts and even standard chartered have predict above $200k next year but that will require stronger fundamentals. Maybe Gary resignation and Paul Atkins crypto friendly regulatory policies but don’t forget Gary resignation will usher in altcoin season because even the news of his resignation sparked XRP to over $2.9, becoming the third largest market cap token. Well, I saw some prediction of Bitcoin hitting the 100k hallmark after US presidential election which has happened so now what next? Same people have start speculating that we might have the longest bear market once bitcoin set it ath after Trump assume office, what will be this ATH?  We might need a very strong fundamental to push for $200k hallmark, also, innovative ideas like the BGGTC on Bitget could increase trading volume and further give users good earning opportunity. Since Users are encouraged to stake their BTC on the platform to earn BGBTC which can be used to gain airdrop access for different tokens on the exchange.
