It's one thing restricting CFDs and spread bets but there is simply no reason why I should not be able to open a fully funded position on a listed stock. After all of the recent outages as well I will be looking for an alternative broker.

totally agree, can understand they want to cover themselves, but not allowing open new position but only sell is aimed to drive the stock prices, rip off their users, and save the hedge funds. it's criminal

They should give all users a voucher for lost trading time which can be exchanged for shares on any exchange. 

also the huge loss they caused to their customers by imposing these unlawful restrictions to drive stock price down and forcing small individuals to sell at loss, in order to help these WS hedge funds

Great, thanks for sharing the template and link!

We really need to take this to FCA to stop the market manipulation by these platforms.

we definitively should take them to the FCA!

Would love to hear from IG on this. If it's a clearing house issue why not restrict BOTH BUYING AND SELLING, wait for the clearing house to catch up, tap credit whatever needs to be done. But only allowing selling??? come on.

A lot of people are going to lose money because of actions like this.

we should all ask ig to compensate our loss because of their unilateral unlawful restriction

Noticed the same problem too, profit in $ turns to be loss in GBP in my balance sheet, painful....
