All of my Stop Orders have been cancelled on my ISA account by IG before market opening and I cannot reinstate them. when I confirm the order I recieve a message "The market you have requested is no longer available online". The order is on WPP they have a market cap of £10bil, so not a small AIM company!

hahahaha Spanish is your mother tongue yet you had to look through trying to match the figures in the pictures FFS. You really are a total spoon. 'Unlucky to have you around'?? but you always run away and hide after pretending the thread contains nothing but memes, I can see why now, you can't actually read scientific data no matter what language it in hahahaha. Anyway, here is the original poster (who can actually speak Spanish). The whole thread is very interesting, there's also some great stuff on how masks have been shown to increase

US Non-Farm Payrolls for December are released today at 1330 GMT. Unemployment rate of 6.8% est., Watch out for this if you're holding anything that may be impacted by the announcement.

Glad to see the torch of conspiracy burning bright on this forum. Can only speak from a personal and local perspective regarding the virus. I can tell you that the hospital admissions related to Covid in our local hospital has gone from negligible (9 patients on December 3rd) to 19 less than a week later to 60 a week after that to over 200 last week. Numbers are available on the NHS website. I have no other information as I haven't seen my friend since we went into Tier 4, who works in admissions at the hospital for confirmation of said numbers. I occasionally text him but he prefers face to

Can I trade share options with IG? This question has been popping up around the community. Yes, you can trade a range of share options with us. Select popular stocks are available to trade on our web platform, and our full range is available to trade by phone. Can I trade share options online, or do I have to phone to deal? That depends on which markets you’d like to trade. We are testing online trading for share options, and to start off with we’re offering Tesla shares (weekly and monthly expiries). Over the coming weeks we hope to expand this

Hi guys, It's forecast and yearly strategy time. Well I'm a tad late really. What does 2021 hold regarding finance, commodities and indices? Personal strategy for 2021 is obviously to not lose money, where possible. Being predominantly an Oil and gasoline trader, I shall start with that. Global stocks and supplies are just about balanced as of now with slight imbalance in US as Covid effects continue to stall demand in key states. However, OPEC+ seem to have their communal act together and are actually acting in unison regarding supply. Naturally, this has increased

Hi, on third party platforms (tradingview, prorealtime) you can change the time zone and thereby the candle close to any you want but a broker's has a fixed time zone and candle close which is based on the hours their markets are open.

As usual, interesting and informative. In response to the question "Who gains", would the response be China? They have certainly cleaned up in the Oil markets (mostly). Their economy has thrived where all others have failed. Honk Kong has been effectively silenced. However, one must temper such rash conclusions with more sustained research. It is true the Dragon(China) has awoken and it's only foil; the Eagle (America) is eating itself, much to the Dragons amusement. The virus is also highly contagious,(as Corona viruses are) mutates like an X man and is randomly deadly to those w

I think there was another post on this earlier. When i queried IG on this, they said that there was a problem with their broker. They didnt have an ETA on a fix. They suggested that if you have an order that you need to fill, then use the quote order instead.

Thanks for the update. I just hope the market doesn't crash before the fix is completed...

Hi, No you can only Buy and Sell shares using the Share Dealing platform. you cannot Demo Share Dealing, However, I assure you, it's the same as CFD or Spread Betting, except it costs you to Buy and Sell but the Spreads are Tighter. I Trade Shares now instead of Spread Betting. The Spreads on Small Cap stock made it impossible to Day Trade. Of course there are downsides such as Tax, but you gotta make a profit first!

Oh, but he doesn't mention that around 48% of excess deaths this year were non-covid and were actually a result of govt policy caused by continuous rolling lockdowns and restriction of access to the health service.

Latest PHE data, Prof Yeadon writes; 'In fact, recent PHE weekly reports have shown low to no excess deaths. This is completely consistent with national herd immunity, with local self limiting outbreaks possible but impossible to see a widespread & growing epidemic. Note that official data shows there is no public health emergency due to the virus. I’m not going to get into the whole business of misattribution of cause of death due to untrustworthy PCR mass testing again (yesterday’s thread covered that). Please follow Whitty’s advice & be guided by excess deaths. O

My problem is now fixed. Seems it was personal to me. i had deposited a sum from my partners account. They disabled it while it was investigated. I knew nothing of it till i tried to trade today. Anyway, I'm up and running again.

from experience you'll just be labelled and dismissed as a conspiracy theorist ergo zero points raised need to be considered by the oh so virtuous but best of luck anyway.

Hey @ramblers926, The platforms are similar however there are differences. You can have a price from the market maker, a limit order, a stop order or a market order. If you pick a limit, stop or market order you can choose the expiration date: We don't have a demo for an ISA account as it's too hard to replicate in a demo environment. You can open a live non-leveraged account though with no obligation to fund if you want to see the features. With ISAs we have a £24 quarterly fee. If you trade any commission you pay will be deducted from the

check for new notifications and that you don't need to re-agree the T&Cs and update fin situation report.

Thank you for brief answer.

WOW, the BBC actually comes up with the truth for a change ... ''This occupancy rate is actually noticeably lower than a usual year. In a normal winter, occupancy tends to average between 93% and 95%.'' Covid: How busy are hospitals in England? - BBC News

Hi, 24 hours with exception on this page. Weekend Trading | Sunday Trading on Wall Street, DAX, FTSE, HS50 (ig.com)

to see all available markets click Marketwatch and right click on the panel and select 'show all'.

Cases, ICU and deaths should be within a clear, established relationship, if that relationship has broken down then it's a data problem. This is the latest deaths data, deaths are going down. If ICU occupancy was really going up then so would deaths. Non-covid excess deaths have been running at nearly 50% of all excess deaths since the end of March and are a result of the govt shutting down the health service. And that's with blatant covid mislabelling. And in case you've forgotten ...

I don't give a **** what you want, this may come as a shock but it's not my job to do your searching for you, if you are disputing the data look it up for yourself and prove it, not really that difficult, but it looks fine to me judged on what I know so am happy to stand by it until/if it is actually is disproven. it's easy enough for someone to sit on their @rse and just keep pointing the finger over and over but that's not really how things work.

Absolutely delightful how people can give a good clap and pat themselves on the back for showing everyone how much of a good, brave person they are being protecting the lives of others by wearing a mask and supporting the down-on-its-knees not fit for purpose NHS. Makes me so proud to be British.

Also disappointed I can't trade the cryptos from today. Does anyone have any suggestions of alternative platforms (just for cryptos)? I guess the new regulations apply to all in the UK so no chance to trade on leverage anywhere?

here is the ONS yearly deaths data (posted previously), see how they compare with previous years. The latest 999 calls chart proves that despite a case numbers explosion no one is actually getting sick, apart from the usual numbers at this time of year. I did explain precisely what the ICU chart showed and why it was relevant. .

increase in covid labelled cases were not leading to increased hospital admissions and deaths, as stated previously they did in the first wave but not this second (fake) wave. The current increase happens every year at this time and the numbers are in line with previous years so blatantly nothing to do with covid, if it was related to covid cases the numbers would above the average not below it. The chart did indeed dispel the fake news that covid patients were overwhelming ICU, they just weren't. I gave you feedback, your own linked data showed you were wrong in your conclusions.

yes, it doesn't work on the mobile app. It works on the web version through my "My IG" section.

FOLLOW THE MONEY List of SAGE members with their fingers in the pie. Spoiler Alert: it's practically all of them. Pathologists recently pointed out that during the first wave in April Deaths closely mirrored Cases but that relationship completely broke down after the introduction of mass testing asymptomatics. It's unlikely Drs are suddenly misdiagnosing Deaths so the problem must lie with the Cases data. The medical 'experts' in SAGE must be aware of the history of the PCR test and the ease with which it has triggered pseudo epidemics in the past (see NYT article li

The reduction only applies from the start of the following month. Any deals made beyond the 3 qualifying trades in the same month will still be charged at the standard commission rate.

Thanks THT, I'm looking for a scan that scans the whole stock market (for example a crossover on any FTSE100 company on 5 min chart), rather than scans what you set up to scan on your system - I will be there til next year doing that. Does ProRealTime allow for this generic type searching / scanning / screening?

You can transfer between accounts the cash only. So you have to sell and rebuy. The process takes a few days to clear the funds as apose to instantly within the same account. Each account has seperate annual fees. Any transfer in or out of an ISA account will affect that years ISA allowance so be careful.

Heya, if you open the deal ticket for your stock, under "order type" on the ticket you should be able to select Stop order. If you then select "sell", enter a numbers of shares, and enter a price under "stop level" which is lower than the current market price, your shares should be sold if the market price falls to/below your chosen stop level. I think you can only create stop orders when the market for your stock is open . You'll want to select "Good til cancelled" under "Expiry" too - if you want the stop loss to last more than a day. You should double check this with IG helpdesk

WHO (pun intended) remembers the panic of 2009 swine flu pandemic! Oooops! https://www.bmj.com/content/340/bmj.c2947.full

I have not checked today but within PRT under the Help menu itself you would find directions/links to all the help manuals for the version currently running

If you go to the PRT website and pro real code you can contact Nicholas who does all the coding - if its available he'll be able to help you for certain

The UK case mortality rate is 3.3%, so a survival rate of 96.7% not 99.97%, a huge difference: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

although its fantastic that individual company options may now become available online...I can’t believe you’ve chosen one of the most volatile stocks with a high underlying price! very risky for inexperienced traders....I really hope you offer some low priced stocks to trade as well?

Hi i am new to IG can you please let me can i use my brother card to fund my account .

And so we gently slip from farce into a surreal dystopia ... ''A ‘new variant’ which was known about in September and no evidence it is any more infectious than older strains. The govt lest we forget, removed Covid19 from its High Consequence Infectious Diseases list in March! So quit with the BS please Mr Clarke.''

Thank you - much appreciated

Hey both, I will put this forward as I can see the need for it. If changes are made I will update here

We’re pleased to announce that from 3pm (UK time) on 4 January 2021, we’ll add the following stocks to our All Session US shares offering: NIO Inc - ADR Peloton Interactive Inc Zoom Video Communications Inc Beyond Meat Inc Airbnb Inc You’ll be able to trade CFDs and spread bet on these stocks from 9am – 1am Monday to Thursday, and from 9am – 10pm on Fridays (all UK times). For share dealing, we’ll quote these stocks from 12pm – 10.30pm Monday to Thursday and from 12pm – 10pm on Fridays (all UK times). Will my positions be affected? If you trade CF

As I suspected. You're only telling half the story. It appears there is also a reduced number of total beds available in 2020 compared to 2019. So not only are there more empty beds, there is less beds to start off with. WTF? https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/bed-availability-and-occupancy/bed-data-overnight/

Actually IG do allow you to buy shares with funds which are awaiting settlement from a previous sale as long as it's via share dealing or ISA ie not a leveraged trade.

Hi Hamsa We are all waiting from IG Markets for an answer to this one. It appears there are dozens and dozens of the same question without an answer so I suspect IG Makretins isn't interested. I am now looking into a competitor. Do you ahve any recommendatiosn for competing platforms?

Hi Dsou, how's it going. I'm also looking into trading USD stocks and thinking along the same lines as you. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi Charlotte, I have the same issue. It is said that my document is already approved, but I am still stuck in the activate account issue. Could you confirm if there is anything else I need to do? Thanks.

The guide for creating watchlists states that I right click on a ticker and add that to the watchlist. This is very slow. How can I create a watchlist and enter multiple tickers at the creation screen?
