-
Yoshiwatusi 𐤊 (@yoshiwatusi) reported@iKoppie @IGcom They doing the bitmex/coinbase cant login
-
Peroni (@BantheGoldKit) reported@englandcricket @IGcom Shame that the rest of them batting are useless. Playing stupid shots
-
D.B.A. Galbraith (@DeeBeeEyyGee) reported@CasinoCapital @IGClientHelp @Trading212 I looked into this recently. According to CoPilot, you can trade options in an IBKR SIPP if you go through a SIPP admin such as Westerby Trustee Services or atsipp. Assuming CoPilot is correct, I might go down this route

Dave (@djp4976) reported@TheMoneySponge @IGcom US stocks have always been fine for orders, it’s always been poor U.K. side, especially the smaller more illiquid companies, even if stock is there and you place your order below that level it never seems to fill, I would have hoped if they at removing request for quote that orders would improve but after speaking to a few not sure it will. What’s the point having a trading account with @IGcom if you can’t trade through the platform, more like a holdco than anything else. Anyway, I’ll see how bad it is next week when migrated and go from there

Noah Silverman, PhD (@noah_phd) reported@IGClientHelp @IGLabs @IGcom Been trying to get technical support for over a week. Nobody at your company replies to your website chat, whatsapp, or even messages on X. Every one of your support channels claims 24/7. This is disappointing
-
Trafalgar (@tardigrade911) reported@IGcom It is down, and as usual no feedback from their clients support.
-
MikeN (@Mikenarm) reported@djp4976 @IGcom They need to sort their **** out. Terrible atm
-
STUPPYTRADER (@stuppytrader) reported@IGClientHelp I’ve been trying since 6 Aug to get answers on MT5 position limits and split-order pricing. I was referred to Customer Experience, but have had no response beyond GIO..; today’s WhatsApp query has sat unread since 07:25. Can someone please pick this up?
-
Perihelion (@PeriHelion96002) reported@IGcom The platform's fecked. No help or communications to customers.
-
Macro Joe (@wealthelf) reported@HLInvest systems still down. Zero ability to trade. Adds to my experience of repeated resilience issues, admin friction, delays, and inability to act when it matters. @IGcom — serious opportunity here. Why is your SIPP not execution-only? Requiring adviser sign-off to transfer is completely out of step with modern, self-directed investors. Build it properly and you’ll win a lot of business...certainly mine...be quick!
-
Molibar (@Molibar) reported@IGcom So is IG down now, or is it just me?
-
MB (@MBdaytrading) reportedbeen holding for @IGcom for over 30 mins ! awful
-
Tortoise investor (@InvestTortoise) reported@andrewdc208 @IGClientHelp I'm having the same problem. You can't even view the server status page 😵
-
Joel Deakin (@JMHDeakin) reported@conradcarter66 @IGcom They don't appear to be content with irritating customers by degrading the share trading service apparently even providing a service is currently a struggle :/ - perhaps they also have management issues that're now affecting operations as well.
-
jm (@Helix1985) reported@IGInternational @IGcom @IGClientHelp Your website is down and I’m unable to trade at the most important time. This is ridiculous.
-
wsbx (@wsbxsg) reported@IGcom Down and no updates.just manage to logged in for 1 min to close 2 of my 4 positions before getting kicked out again. Seriously this is pathetic.
-
the Wise Fool (@theWiseFool8) reported@IGcom Wouldn't bother with IG. If you have a problem.. its impossible to get hold of a human.
-
iKopite 🏆*20 (@iKoppie) reported@11invest @IGcom Just got a template response from support, telling me to clear cache and switch to wifi haha
-
smudgedan (@Smudgedann) reported@adstrader @IGcom Reckon that’s a clerical error. Would be surprised if it isn’t all of them once they realise
-
jm (@Helix1985) reported@IGcom I can’t log in!!! For the last hour when volatility is at its worst. No message back on what’s app or answering the phone. Disgusting service
-
JB (@thedarkonexx) reported@IGClientHelp Platform is down but no message on your X account?
-
Lord H (@LordHofH) reported@IGcom Your trading platform has been down for an hour now for everyone, and no comms to users whatsoever. Sort your Sh.t out for gods sake !
-
Andrewdc208 (@andrewdc208) reported@IGClientHelp did ur system just go down?
-
Casino Capital (@CasinoCapital) reportedThinking of moving my SIPP & share a/c's from IG @IGClientHelp to @Trading212 Anyone have a bad thing to say about 212? Or other brokers I should consider? What I REALLY want: Low FX fees Can hold multi-currency Tax return forms every year Options in SIPP (sadly no one offers)
-
Jarvy55 (@Jarvy55) reported@henrymcivor @IGcom Terrible customer service no replys to emails.
-
Iain Clarke (@iain__clarke) reported@IGcom @IGClientHelp your platform is down. When will it be open?
-
Sach 🌏 (@sachsyd) reportedRubbish service at @IGClientHelp @IGAus #asxnews #ausbiz #asx
-
Mark Newton (@Mark_Newton1) reported@djp4976 @IGcom There customer service is zero, call centre staff giving out wrong information. Philippines and Eastern Europe call centres useless. Their IT infrastructure is 3rd world & needs upgrading, but they spend 000's millions on new acquisitions to the detriment of the platform.
-
🅰️ndrew Brahms (@inthe_flowers) reported@CasinoCapital @IGClientHelp @Trading212 Only issue I have is some tiny float stocks in the UK are really difficult to execute on T212 compared to IG - i.e. I have put a limit buy for the same price on both platforms, IG executed a lot quicker than T212. Maybe the lesson is to avoid illiquid garbage stock
