[I cannot place an order on deal tickets on the IG site.]

The IG site seems to not allow placing of pending orders on stocks. The deal tickets have the message Market is not currently open to trade.

This has been the case all day. the IG status page says all is fine. Anyone know what is going on? Other friends have reported the same issue.

Cheers...

[Not sure I understand how daily interest / funding costs increase with P/L increases?]

When I take out a CFD with IG they buy a certain amount of stock on my behalf with margin and charge me interest on same for the margin difference... I get that, all fair. BUT why should the funding charge increase when my position / stocks increase in value? Surely the stock would have been purchased at a strike price and that has not changed from the initial purchase so I should be paying funding on that amount only.... feels like double dipping to me !
