@Me7, I totally agree. I think Cryptos should be available to trade 24/7.

However, this question has been asked many times and I for one have asked this question several times a couple of years back and @JamesIG has answered it several times stating it was not possible and outlining the reasons why. This may be a very good time for him to update the IG Community with the latest position.

 

Yes, its a wild asset to trade as it is, but having the black out for 5 hours on a Saturday makes it impossible for me to trade through IG. Crypto doesn't sleep...Will be glad to hear something from @JamesIG

[Cryptocurrency trading needs to be 24/7]

I just realised that IG turn off their Crypto trading desk on Saturday mornings. I use IG for all stock trading, and would like to keep using them for Crypto CFD.  Unfortunately, its not possible...BTC moves fast and by holding a position over the weekend I risk being stopped out with significant loss.  Would be good if they opened the crypto desk 24/7 

Im currently looking for another exchange that trades 24/7 but kind of hoping that IG change this in order to keep up with standard 24/7  trading..
