  1. If the issue occurred across multiple platforms and brokers, then that is really odd. DOW down 400 is nothing. No idea what would cause multiple platforms/firms to crash, but implies a broad internet issue, or perhaps even some kind of co-ordinated world wide attack on all the servers??? Beyond my expertise. BUT...if it were just IG....and they have previously refused to have a seconardy server in place to kick in immediately when the main platform goes down, then absolutely they are open to a class action lawsuit, in theory. And frankly, they wouldn't stand a chance. But I would rather try to work WITH THEM than agaisnt them.
  2. The action of a few stocks, no matter how crazy or extreme in movement and volume should absolutely NOT bring dow the whole platform. Sorry, but this is like saying we are still using Windows 95. Windows 10 allows an app to crash and keep it contained and not cause a BSOD any more. And this is PRECISELY how trading platforms should be designed these days. Clearly they are not.
  3. I assume its down for everyone. 30 mins now. I wrote to them th elast time they had a big blow up, and asked why they dind't have a secondary server that uaotmatically kicks in. They avoided answering me. Clearly they completely ignored professional advice and stil have no backup service. It's disgraceful, unprofessional, and simply stupid. It only goes down when things are going crazy, which is precisely the time the backup server is required. I've always been a big supporter of IG, but their lack of action when given WISE advice, shows they have a serious management issue.
