blocker - REST Trading API limits!

Question

Guest qsc-sydney

Hi IG team, community, 

I am reaching out via this forum as email/phone based support requests have gotten me nowhere and I feel others might experience the same impact to their trading.

All of my trade activity take place over the REST API, spread out over three different base currency CFD accounts. My apps are java/spring boot based, nothing too exotic.

The current API trade request limit of 100 calls per minute (https://labs.ig.com/faq#limits) is crippling me and stopping me from increasing trading volumes and accessing new markets, so much so I am looking at moving all of my trading to Interactive Brokers (who don't appear to have any API limits). Currently my monthly volumes are approx 25-30mil, but would easily be 3-5 times that if the API call limit was closer to 300-400 requests per minute.

IG team is there anyway the API call limit can be increased, either via feature or special request? Perhaps on a case-by-case basis?

- Further can a API call request increase be considered/urged with the technology teams as this is impacting users and inhibiting more trading volume?

Is there anyone in the community who has the same impact to their trading? Have you been able to resolve the limit issue or had it addressed by IG?

This is my last resort to get some traction on this issue before packing up and relocating my trading else where, there is a easy solution for this - one which would be a win-win for both IG and traders like myself.

Let me know;

Regards, qsc-sydney

    • The digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as attention, once a freely given commodity, is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset. Layer3 is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering a new economy where attention can be owned, traded, and monetized   This innovative approach empowers individuals to monetize their engagement, providing unprecedented control over personal data. Simultaneously, advertisers benefit from transparent metrics that optimize campaign performance. Content creators are presented with diverse revenue avenues beyond traditional advertising, while the overall ecosystem experiences a more equitable distribution of value.   The implications of Layer3 extend across various sectors. Social media platforms, for instance, can leverage this technology to revolutionize user engagement and monetization strategies. Tokenomics play a crucial role in driving Layer3's economy, incentivizing participation and rewarding value creation. While challenges such as data privacy and market volatility exist, the potential benefits of Layer3 are immense   Anticipation is building as its native token $L3 is on Bitget Pre-market as users await its listing on the exchange. This milestone is expected to significantly increase the token's visibility and accessibility, potentially driving substantial growth and attracting new investors.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
