[BST not reflected in US market times]

As of 28th March the US markets now open at 14:30 and close at 21:00 however IG still has them at 13:30 to 20:00 as per the previous two weeks when the US was on daylight saving while the UK was not.

When is this going to be fixed?

Hi @pavlobee

There was a change on carbon emissions margin from 10 - 25% for new positions only. This would not have affected open positions hence no communications were sent. However at 09:00 the price did drop as low as 6099. Your positions were closed at 6108 due to breach of 50% margin rule. 

All the best,

Thanks for the explanation now it makes sense, I wasn't sure if the margin had changed or not and there is no way of checking changes to the margin requirements.

Carbon emissions futures are not included in either of those lists 

[Changes to margin requirements of open positions]

It appears that i've had a margin requirement change from 10% to 25% on open positions (of CO2 - Carbon Emissions commodity), with no notification let alone notice and  I can't find any details of the margin in the transaction history. The only reason I believe this to be true is I never had enough equity to buy at the prices my positions were opened at. As the trade went against me I couldn't figure out why I was so underwater, can anyone from IG confirm these changes and explain why if true, there was no notice of the changes.
