Can anyone tell me for the Love of God, when Trading Stops on the FTSE????
AND where to find such information int he future?Thanks
-
Never mind, it was Suspended thru Volatility....would be nice to know that on the screen.
Go Green Candle Go! -
Anyone get Phunware charts up? I have a Long position open....Now reporting Market Closed!!
-
Has anyone had any luck getting thru?
-
I was about to look for the number but seems I'll be wasting my time.
I've had two charts change the Stop loss on me in two days.......Only for 5 mins to pass and realise the positions have closed at a loss, even though I've moved my Stop above my Buy in, or to Break Even.........-

I have my own post on this today. Couldn't amend Stop OR Close Trade. Info was actually missing from the chart.....refreshed the page and the trade was over......at a loss. It's not the first time it's happened in 12 months either.
More fool me I guess, but i will be bringing it up with IG as I screen recorded it.-

As in title not only can I not move my Stop lower to limit risk, I also cannot Close Trade.
I moved my Stop lower and let it go. It stayed there for about 3 seconds, then the screen refreshed and the Stop went back to where it was. Not only this, I then couldn't Close the Trade......I also need to constantly refresh the page to see Candles moved against me and Volume data that was missing. My Open Ticket position is now missing from the chart so who knows where it is!!!
I've been stopped out without any knowledge on screen......as of 13.34pm
-
I don't know what to do myself I can't amend my stop in a running trade. I move it, it stays there for a few seonds then goes back to where it was!!!!!
Maybe I've missed something in the Academy lessons? -
Problem with Live Retail here too still. Manually refreshing every minute or two to see volume and candle movement.

the platforms been an issue for a few days whereas the whinging has been an issue forever but mustn't look too deep because the aim of course is to scapegoat failure.
'Few Days' he says!!! from a guy who doesn't even use it unless it's to check it's still there.
I've reported problems since I joined on the 10th March 2019! My 12 month anniversary was this week and not even a card from you......Many people have reported problems since it went live.....
I've had answers such as 'it's your pc, your browser, your internet'.............OR 'no one else is reporting errors' etc. etc. etc. Funny though that my pc has been replaced, my internet is faster, my OS has changed, so has my HD. In fact it's all different, but i still need to refresh the charts to see volume info or candle movement.....even the Demo vs Live were reporting different info....with the Demo actually reporting more info than the Live chart!
The Retail Platform needs a reboot, Fact! It's not consistent...of course there's PRT, other Brokers..........and?? Is that a solution to a platform that keeps breaking?
The forum is for feedback for punters and for IG...It's a partnership! There's not a lot of technical feedback in here from IG and they're aware of that. They're also aware of the technical issues with the platform and what is missing from it.
We just want a stable platform.
This isn't your fight Casey! Why are you still so involved in it? You've literally quoted me 9 times ( I think) since yesterday.....most of your posts have been to me!
Of course we can be friends.

you're put forward every single one of those 'IG do this/that' at some point and I've given an answer to every one, as I say, I keep repeating the factual answers for the benefit of others.
Hey, thanks for stopping by. I've got other stuff to achieve today than more Likes!
Conversing with you is tiring and repetitive!
I'm off to read something interesting by @TrendFollower-

short memory, try going back over the 'is spread betting for fools' thread.
Oh, wow, that far back! Nothing about this week then? I've barely been in the forums for 6 months but you're right! Same ol' same ol' especially from you.
Let it lie pal, let it lie.
I'm with @CharlotteIG on this one. Just be nice!
You need to allow people to have opinions and ideas that are different to your own without getting all bent out of shape and insulting them for having a mind that questions.
Have a great day

the same old grips over and over, IG are ripping me off, IG prevent me from making money, IG must be manipulating the market, IG are working against me, IG take the other side, IG rig the platform, IG ... ad infinitum

My statement is in direct reflection of the sentiment in the forums; that this instance is not isolated. It's raising eyebrows to say the least!
How you interpret my words or imagine me naked is none of my concern.
As for playing games.? Games are for bored children. There's enough of them in here already.
However, you can also see this statement that I made re; my own input on the recent matter. ^^^
I also claim to represent both sides of a discussion as I have insight into human/business relations. Everything is a question to be answered. Especially when money is involved. It is the greatest corrupter.
It's a community forum for discussion, insight and learning. Wind your neck in pal. Why do you feel the need to inject yourself into every discussion? We've been over this 6 months ago. you're top of the board pal. Relax! wear your badge and just be nice! -

the thing is you ask questions and I give reasonable sound answers that you completely ignore and so ask the same question over and over again. if you think the answer is wrong refute it with facts, you don't/can't, you just pretend no one can answer. so I keep repeating the correct answer not for you obviously but for other noobs who may be listening and not realise the game you keep playing.
Hey my bad.
What question did i ask this time and ignore? I'll go back and check. -

actually I didn't listen because it's rambling garbage, if you're going to quote me at least try to be coherent in your response. If you're saying you predicted a viral pandemic would cause a bear market I don't think you did.
No, nothing like you that twittering ****!
You lack inquiry!
Eeeh I do miss your craic, and look forward to your one dimensional help in here. So polite you are. What a Gem of a personality.
How many Likes you got this week then? you still fighting to be Top of the Forum Leader board???
Why are you so god **** angry all the time. Are you the Hulk? Are you single, divorced, in prison?
Why do you feel the need to be so offensive all the time.?
You need a hug? -

I guess handle this when VIX is at 50 could be a challenge?
Anyone got saved by the ESMA rules?
Hmmm. Beneficial, or Controlling???
I recently has a trade running on the Demo for Phunware Inc. got in right at the point of the Fakout, and thought Ide see what happens if i let if Fail to max account value of £1400....it went all the way down.. maybe it's a good thing it's being introduced....but 50% seems a little too restrictive.-

I think I may have mentioned this before, same answer to the same question (repeated over and over), it's almost like some can't listen or just won't. They could of course try doing their own research but ... na.
If 100% of traders won every trade, impossible of course but ..., then the parallel hedge function would pay them and IG would still make a profit. If the market is solely one way and IG was unable to parallel hedge then IG would just close the book and take no more trades, we saw this routinely during the crypto bubble in the second half of 2017, people whinged about that too.
Conspiracy theories are much more fun than rational answers though and best of all require absolutely no real effort so hey 😁
Something just occurred to me today Casey after reading your message and observing the markets.
You clearly know I'm not a very successful Day Trader and don't claim otherwise, but on the contrary my dear boy, I know a lot about other things, but I digress.
I pointed out to you last year (I know you'll check coz you always do) that I said the market was at a tipping point....You mentioned 20?? and how that's all everyone talked about and look, it didn't (though it did actually drop considerably-I don't know how to search thru all of my posts to find the info). Maybe you're too institutionalised I don't know, but I don't think in terms of today, last week, or even last year. I think in decades. History, patterns etc. I'm no savant, far from it, but my intellect is above average, regardless of my trading ability.
To you, you may think you know me, but how could you? It's words on a screen? Of course I myself will suggest the same; that I know you. I study people, forums and language, not just charts. You typify a type we've already covered.
The World is at War...It could be argued since conception....It makes sense, the struggle for energy, power, control etc. How it is achieved is details. The fact it happens can be observed. The rise and fall of nations happens over a generation, not an economical quarterly press release. Capitalism had a limit...By it's own design, coupled with Globalism, it's a timely manner of failure waiting for everyone to notice....The world as it is, simply cannot continue the way it has been for the past 100 years....The failure to control Europe and the Mid east for the last Century, has now resulted in what we see today.
In my lifetime I know only what occurs or I observe. The rest is information taken from earlier sources.
It's pointless for me to outline it here, but I am among the many, though small in comparison, that predicted 2008 and with this, further economic catastrophe......We're nowhere near the end of this one! I simply cannot tell you the day, though it's already started.....Of course it's easy for me to bleat on here about it in hindsight, but....I told you it was going to drop, didn't I?
Hey, thanks for listening if you're still here.....catch you in the next one

IG always has the same issues when the markets get volatile. I heve seen this behaviour several times, the website either goes down or they adjust the level of margin required to in my opinion discourage trading.
Remember a lot of spread betting companies only place your trade on the markets if you are a regular winner otherwise they accept the risk of the trade themselves as the majority of traders loose money and they simply keep your stake. So when the markets are going one way only and fast they dont want the trade.
Shame really as IG have a good website and information but i got frustrated with this behaviour some time ago and most of my trades are not on leverage any more i fund them fully with a broker and guess what, i dont have these issues at all and i have mainly winning trades.
interesting....tell us more ?

So if we have this example, say all of our clients went short (all of different sizes) we have an automated monitor that tells us we have to hedge. if 100% of clients were short, we would have to hedge all the exposure until we're no longer able to take on anymore orders.
The way we make our money is through the spread. So someone trades 10 contracts on Wall st MAR-20 (contract size is $10). Say the underlying is a price of 24114.8 our price will be 24115. Meaning we make (10 x $10 x 0.2 = $20) from the client placing the trade. That's how we make our money. If we're no longer able to hedge into the market a certain way we will then, due to how our company operates, restrict the market.
As @Caseynotes mentioned, and example would be when we had unborrowable/ unlongable blockers on Cryptos.
Yes, Charlotte thank you.
It seems I may have hjacked the thread........I'm very well aware (regardless of how) that all companies are here to make money........
In this forum we're simply talking about how often the retail Platform suffers at times of volatility....
However, I have experienced problems regardless of volatility......maybe the reason I recently did a Q&A with IG about how i find the platform, and any problems or improvements.....
Thanks. -
Inovio Halted again....IG or the Market?

now I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories but here's my latest conspiracy theory ..., yeah yeah.
As I said regarding the crypto bubble, when they couldn't hedge they just closed the book, simple, easier than fabricating a platform outage don't you think? why bother.
It's the Question marks that are the reason for questioning Casey....
Why are the markets still open?

I understand that pal. I too have have doubt while shorting for the same reason; like I'm adding to the problem and bringing it all down...But it's a house of cards anyway....maybe it needs a strong breeze to rebuild it.....
the economy can't continue. 2008 happened and it's taken 12years for anyone to realise.
Either way, you've done well to get your coin back. I've literally made a 20% loss on my account again. Old habits of not following Trends (as discussed here). Even now on the FTSe, i keep giving it back expecting it to bounce and return to Resistance.....Everytime it takes another sum....
A reset is still good though. Time to find the bottom on a few good stock. I've a watchlist in place.
