Hi, I have been experimenting alot with the IG Index API. I find it easy to use. I have recently been toying with ideas for different algo's. I find the idea fascinating. Anyone got any thoughts on this from a mathematical point of view? Or anyone else interested in this stuff? Three consecutive down days 3 day SMA If the current price is below that 3 Day SMA then sell (There is a reason for the fundamental drop) if the current price is above the 3 Day SMA then Buy (It's held steady, There is support for it) I've coded this and testing it as we speak. If anyone is interested I will post on Github Link to Github Page Example Output. https://pastebin.com/tf26EMG6

I'd say more often than not, No.

Why? You got hacked? They probably wont be able to recover anything.

Hey Nick. I’ve just seen your other post. Yeah I see this quite a bit. Especially on U.K. stocks for some reason.

Yeah I use the API a lot and I have issues with missing data all the time. I’ve just come to accept it. It varies though. Sometimes it’s good sometimes it can be spotty at best. I just tend to do a check if the returned data is not NaN or None in Python

You need access to the order book depth. Most likely you’d have to pay for Level 2 access

It’s ESMA regulations. Anywhere that doesn’t do it is more likely based outside the EU. How else would they stop you losing money so fast?

P.S I've not done anything to anyone reading this!

Thank f for that! I thought they were threatening me too!! It's like the TV Licencing letters. Thought I was going to prison there for a moment. I wonder if it's people who have held positions in Sirius Minerals in the last few months on the mailing list a few people who I know have IG Index accounts did not get it. Anyone from IG Index clarify?

Who else got the "Make sure you're aware of abusive practices" email? My question is, Why? Is this because of the CEO of Sirius Minerals waging war on Retail traders?? https://www.valuethemarkets.com/2019/10/08/the-shifting-shares-view-sirius-minerals-ceos-bizarre-attack-on-bulletin-board-gamblers-sxx/ Bit confused now, Would like some clarification from IG perhaps please?

Another quote I find incredulous is that Chris believes that when the company’s stock fell 10% the day before the $500 million bond offering failed, “that this might have been triggered by a post on an online forum that falsely claimed it was about to announce an equity-raising”.

Who's sat here reading this in their basement in their "sweatpants" ROFL!! 😂😂

https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/904353/sirius-minerals-boss-turns-fire-on-investor-bulletin-boards-904353.html Be-careful what you say about Sirius Minerals, The CEO is on the war path with Retail investors. Or in other words..."There is no smoke without fire"

Hi Martino. I can certainly help with some. Opening level - The price at which your trade was opened at. Current level - The price at the current time as given by the market. The price change of the instrument, usually on a daily basis but you can get it over longer terms. i.e the stock has risen 4% today from it's close price yesterday. Running profit/loss - The difference you have from opening to now. If it's gone up and you are long profit, If it's gone down and you are short profit. Deposit required - Regulations dictate the margin required now in the European Union. Please see here. https://www.home.saxo/campaigns/new-esma-regulation Hope this helps.

This happens ALL the time, Especially to newer traders. Look anywhere on the internet and you will find countless examples. There's loads of ways to combat this. Don't use Guaranteed Stops, Setting an appropriate Stop Distance for your trade. It comes with practice my friend. Don't trade round NFP day unless you really know what you are doing etc.

Not personally and I don't know anyone who has, Linode is the best IMHO.

They have, Just look at the ESMA regulations.

This would be a good little project to develop with the API, When the spread drops alerting tool.

Is that the Granary Bread Coin or the Wholemeal coin? 🤣🤣🤣

Calm down everyone, I can assure you that any losses you incur would not have been down to IG. You should always practice good money management!

You are only allowed 10 sessions on the streaming API if I remember rightly. Check you are not going over that. How are you managing your connections in your code? Do they go down cleanly?
