Unknown error when trying to close positions


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm trying out the demo spreadbet account and i keep finding that when i try to close a position it won't let me.  Very frustrating when you come into profit & then you can't close it out.  I should be able to close at any point right even if i have set a limit and stop? (not guaranteed stop). Luckily on my last two trades both hit my limits but i couldn't have intervened if i wanted to.

Thanks for the help

Thank you so much for your post, 

There have been some issues with our demo account. Due to volatility we have to focus on our live account but we do apologise for the inconvenience. I will speak with our technical team to take some time for the demo account. 

We understand that the demo environment is a place people come to practice trading before they feel comfortable to move to a live account. 

Apologies again, 

All the best.

Thanks for your comments Charlotte.  What happens if you have technical issues closing trades on a live account, obviously this could have quite an impact on profit/loss.  Lets just say i was glad this was happening on a demo account.  You really want to know you can rely on the platform when its a live account.

it happens with your live account too, closed positions don't disappear for a while. I just log out and log in again, kind a refresh!

Hi Ranz, thanks for that. So essentially when you press close it should have done it, its just not updating to say so.  I imagine this can be frustrating and potentially worrying on a live account..

Thanks

Thanks for your post. 

If this were on the live environment we are able to see delays therefore would compensate accordingly. 

The demo environment can have lagging issues especially when we're busy have have to direct our attention to live queries. We do apologise for the inconvenience. 

All the best, 

Charlotte

@CharlotteIG Hello to you.

I've emailed on the 2nd April regarding this issue on my Live account and have had no reply.  I've never had a reply to my emails in the 12 months I've been with IG.  I'm wondering if you could look into this for me please?

 

Thanks.

If this is on your live account it's definitely an issues. 

If you've had a recent case let me know and I will get someone to investigate. 

Do any error messages pop up when you can't close the position?

Hi, yes, Live Spread Betting.  I've emailed twice adding video evidence of my inability to edit stops or close positions for 20 minutes.  I need to refresh the page to see candle movement etc.  Unfortunately it's not a new issue.  I've been advised many times to move to PRT, but it's a habit now hard to break.  Even today I'm missing candle info and Volume data.

Thank you.

Wave Cancel invalid level: 0.85001                 The EUR/GBP Elliott Wave Analysis for the day chart provides a comprehensive overview of the potential price movements for the Euro against the British Pound, utilizing Elliott Wave principles for technical analysis.   Identified as a "Counter Trend," the analysis indicates that the current market direction opposes the prevailing trend. This suggests that the EUR/GBP pair may be undergoing a temporary corrective phase, providing opportunities for traders who anticipate a reversal in the broader trend.   Described as "Corrective" in mode, the analysis suggests that the ongoing market movement exhibits characteristics of a corrective wave. This implies that the current price action may represent a temporary retracement or consolidation within the larger trend, rather than a continuation of the primary trend.   The "STRUCTURE" is labeled as "red wave B," providing clarity on the current phase of the Elliott Wave cycle. This helps traders understand the nature of the corrective movement and its potential implications for future price action.   Positioned as "blue wave X," the analysis highlights the specific phase of the Elliott Wave cycle within the current corrective movement. This indicates that the market is 2 / 2 currently in a corrective phase following the completion of a previous wave cycle, potentially indicating a complex correction pattern.   In the "DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES" section, the analysis mentions "red wave C of X," suggesting the anticipated direction for the subsequent higher-degree wave within the Elliott Wave cycle. This implies that the market may experience another corrective phase following the completion of the current corrective wave, providing insights into potential future price movements.   The "DETAILS" section notes that "red wave b of blue wave X looking still is in play as a triangle." This suggests that the ongoing corrective wave may be taking the form of a triangle pattern, characterized by overlapping price movements and diminishing volatility. Additionally, the wave cancel level is identified at 0.85001, providing a reference point for invalidating the wave count. Traders can utilize this information to evaluate potential trading opportunities and manage risk effectively.         EURGBP Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4 Hour Chart,     Euro/British Pound(EURGBP) 4 Hour Chart   EURGBP Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Counter Trend                           MODE:Corrective                           STRUCTURE: red wave B                           POSITION: blue wave X                         DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES:red wave C of X                           DETAILS: red wave b of blue wave X looking still is in play as a triangle .
