    @IGcom This is unacceptable. Been over an hour since login errors, no communication. How can I trust your platform anymore?

    @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?

    @IGcom can I now only set buy and sell limits to trade? I thought @ii_couk were bad, but this isn't great

    @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

    @TheMoneySponge @IGcom App down too

    Tom Norman (@plaste) reported

    @wealthelf @HLInvest @IGcom I'm trying out Trading212 for an ISA and not having any issues so far. Had it for about 6 months. (Though was an expensive spread for a smallcap.)

    @IGcom Update on Login issues pls !!!!!

    @Molibar @IGcom Yes it’s down for me too. Right before US open…. Very poor

    @IGClientHelp hi IG. There appears to be an issue with the mobile iPhone app. When I log in I get a message “session timed out. Please login again” and the app then goes to log in screen.

  • InfoJelt
    jelt (@InfoJelt) reported

    @IGcom no one answering phone or chat for 2 hours. Someone or a lot of people need to complain to the FCA about this scam company.

  • avinashkaware01
    AK (@avinashkaware01) reported

    @IGClientHelp Extreme platform outage today. I was locked out of my account from 14:30 to 16:30 despite repeated login attempts. This system failure directly prevented me from closing my Daily US Tech 100 Call at DH152.1£, resulting in a great loss. IG should compensate for that.

    Not able to log in to mobile or desktop apps. Have the grace to at least post a message about this issue. I am getting so pissed off with IG and their support. You are destroying what was a great platform. Its a disgrace. @IGClientHelp @IGTradingFloor @IGcom

  • JMHDeakin
    Joel Deakin (@JMHDeakin) reported

    Oh dear @IGcom appears to be down 😑

  • spanout
    Tim Spanoudakis (@spanout) reported

    @IGClientHelp would rather do this by phone but there is no number to call... My app and browser access to the platform gives and error page and clicking the status page also gives an error... Software update over the weekend??

  • NassarSandusky
    Nassar Sandusky (@NassarSandusky) reported

    @TheMoneySponge @IGcom What platform are you switching too? I’ve only joined at the start of the year they are awful. Thought it just me who couldn’t log in

  • kashyapgagan

    @IGClientHelp @IGClientHelp IGgroup down ?? no update

  • LordBadshot
    Rob ⭐⭐️ (@LordBadshot) reported

    @Smudgedann @IGcom Not a happy ship. New mgmt seem to be doing their best to destroy what was a great brand. Trouble is they are printing cash with all this vol so mgmt will believe their own hype. Clients will vote with their feet imo.

  • VolaViking
    The Volatility Viking (@VolaViking) reported

    @DickyVenter @The_Huntsman23 @IGcom Same issue; doesn't look like a hack though either, don't spread information like that

  • Smudgedann
    smudgedan (@Smudgedann) reported

    @IGcom seem to have gone from being very good across the board to pulling every trick in the book to **** over their customers.

  • MattBrookes3
    MattBrookes (@MattBrookes3) reported

    @LordBadshot @Smudgedann @IGcom I use them, and must be out of the loop as I’m not aware of anything. What’s the problem, and should I be concerned?

  • bushy1113
    Barefooted Rascal (@bushy1113) reported

    @IGcom This is all very lovely but your platform shutting down just before the market open on such an important day is totally unacceptable

  • Read_That_Right
    It's No Joke. (@Read_That_Right) reported

    @2grokornot2grok @11invest @IGcom It's got to have something to do with it................to be honest I want to leave IG. too expensive.........too any issues like this. cheaper alternative about, but worried about the migration time as i've got active positions Long and anticipating a BO soon.

    @englandcricket @IGcom what a quality bowler, shame on stokes n mccullum mafia who never give Ollie robinson a fair chance, he should've been the leader of eng's bowling after anderson n board.

    @IGcom I am having problems logging in and your status page is not working. Is there a problem?

  • djp4976
    Dave (@djp4976) reported

    @IGcom You’re going to lose a hell of a lot of investors from your platform shortly due to these changes coming in, looks like no more ‘Request for Quote’ orders, limit and market orders only, wouldn’t be so bad if your orders actually got filled, you’ve always been useless with those, seems like only US stocks get filled with U.K. stocks sat there being unfilled all day even when there’s plenty of stock available within that order price

  • InvestTortoise
    Tortoise investor (@InvestTortoise) reported

    @andrewdc208 @IGClientHelp I'm having the same problem. You can't even view the server status page 😵

    @LBC @IGClientHelp App has recovered but customer services is awful

  • Mister_Ryno
    Ryno (@Mister_Ryno) reported

    @IGcom What's happening with your desktop site and mobile app?? Both went down simultaneously just after the US opened today? No response from the helpdesk.

  • Woodywudpeck
    gin&pinklemonade (@Woodywudpeck) reported

    Just shows you how bad @IGcom are ..I have a stop at 49.7p with spreadex but that WASN'T triggered so they have not used genuine prices. Complaint sent
