    @JSyborg @IGcom @SharePickers Wouldn't have any issue opening or closing if it was actually a free market.

    @IGClientHelp Your account is almost active. Before you start dealing, please contact us on +44 207 892 6886. Been trying to call for 2 days it just puts me through to music, live help doesn't answer, please activate my account.

  • nigelpais Nigel Pais (@nigelpais) reported

    @IGcom Has anyone else been executed at worst price on the open - a million miles from the order level?

  • StockInvestor16 StockInvestor (@StockInvestor16) reported

    @IGcom @gamerti44700836 No one interested in your apologies. What they are interested in, is being able to access their accounts and investments, as they are losing money in a falling market all because of your supposed bad IT. If you can provide the proper infrastructure,you should handle clients funds

  • LTBarrett Lawrence Barrett (@LTBarrett) reported

    @IGClientHelp How can one of the biggest UK trading platforms logically block new trades on AMC and GME for existing customers? Surely you should block new registrations? I feel completely let down and will be looking to move.

  • SDN2788 Simon (@SDN2788) reported

    @dfajardito @IGcom @FSCS Hargreaves Lansdown although they’ve been having teething problems at market open every last week.

  • OllyAlgae Olly Carter (@OllyAlgae) reported

    @IGClientHelp How long will it take to receive a considered reply from your help desk? And can you assure me that this will never happen again?

  • ArchGrimm Arch Grim (@ArchGrimm) reported

    @IGcom But I am an existing customer. I payed my US trading fees in Jan to be able to trade in Feb. Wouldn’t prioritising existing customers be stopping new accounts to be created? Not controlling what existing customers trade? Free market my ***.

  • caino_wins CAINO (@caino_wins) reported

    What's the odds @IGcom goes down when markets open? #silversqueeze

  • StockInvestor16 StockInvestor (@StockInvestor16) reported

    @RichardMans1 @IGcom I think FIX is the appropriate word in this whole debarcal.

  • MartinRAnthony1 Martin Anthony (@MartinRAnthony1) reported

    @IGcom Shame on you @IGcom .. . disgraceful behaviour by you and the other brokers that have gone down this route.

  • TSleepyjoe Eye Emmay Patriot (@TSleepyjoe) reported

    @pasteech @Mateo_Lamuno @IGcom The risk comes only from the first one to decide and choose the specific stock. It is as simple as that, we are taking risks by continuing to buy buy buy knowing these scumbags who have billions off doing the same **** every time and now it is a problem because we are making $$?

  • caino_wins CAINO (@caino_wins) reported

    @RawlinsonJw @IGcom Yes that popped up on the app that $GME is no longer tradeable on the platform, wasn't able to buy or sell last week anyway as the app was down! 🙄

  • jczhang2010 jczhang (@jczhang2010) reported

    @IGcom This doesn't make sense. System was down during key hours on Friday so could not trade, now buying is totally not allowed. What's a professional platform! What's a professional decision!

  • StockInvestor16 StockInvestor (@StockInvestor16) reported

    @IGcom Please note, IG does not currently offer anything as their systems are down daily and people can’t access their accounts.

  • StockInvestor16 StockInvestor (@StockInvestor16) reported

    @IGClientHelp There is something called TCF and IG index is regulated by the FCA. If you have been affected by the supposed IT issues/ Systems issues and have as a direct consequence lost money, or lost profit, then you need to detail this. Make a official complaint. If you don’t make a

  • jamieguru jamieguru (@jamieguru) reported

    @IGClientHelp I have been attempting to log in for two days, where do I find the IG live chat support?

  • BBearsplc Bulls&BearsPLC (@BBearsplc) reported

    @IGcom Live Chat is useless , always broken, message service on twitter is useless, 4 days to respond, your platform does not appear to be live , even though I pay for it and your "change" "%change" figures are not accurate..Really disappointed.

  • RossJohnson17 Ross Johnson (@RossJohnson17) reported

    @jasoncartwright @IGcom I have also been on the bad end of the stick with other trades related to the recent outages, but this isn't the first time IG have had difficulties with their servers. God help us if there's a crash.

  • KhanChongus Chongus Khan (@KhanChongus) reported

    @IGcom Disgusting. I'm an existing cleint and I pay for the service of buying extremely volatile stocks. If you can afford to buy out tastytrade, you can afford to sort your servers out. Please do better.

  • JuceeRob Rob (@JuceeRob) reported

    @IGClientHelp Please can you advise of the best Telephone number and opening hours for a U.K. customer please.

  • StockInvestor16 StockInvestor (@StockInvestor16) reported

    @JohanDXB @IGcom Because they are absolute clowns. You can tell that, by the fact they offer a sharedealing service on the phone, but a lot of the time it takes 30-45mins to answer a form. They are a complete joke!!!!

  • hometraderross Ross 📈🚀 (@hometraderross) reported

    @SalihKirmizi12 @IGcom The problem is they are all starting to do it, I never thought IG would join the bandwagon..

  • JWestDigital Jason West (@JWestDigital) reported

    @IGcom Lost me as a customer. You were already the platform with the worst usability and now you want to babysit us too. Your systems should be able to handle spikes in traffic without falling to pieces and losing us trades!

  • Therealhughes Chris Hughes (@Therealhughes) reported

    @IGcom no longer offering GME or AMC In order to prioritise the service we give our existing clients, IG is not currently allowing any new positions to be opened on the US stocks GameStop and AMC Entertainment. Clients are still able to close existing positions.

    @jasoncartwright @Stevolution76 @IGcom If it runs bad blame IG not people playing stonks

  • LifeIsTheGame3 Life Is The Game (@LifeIsTheGame3) reported

    @jasoncartwright @Stevolution76 @IGcom Im nor part of it, but nice people who become billionare with this are :) check what happened to stupid robinhood owners.

  • lonewolf0102878 bob (@lonewolf0102878) reported

    @IGcom Who are you to tell people how they can and cant spend there money, we are allowed to go spend 50k at the casino, buy things we don't need and waste money on junk food, but now all of sudden companies care about our financial stability, how about some consistency with our chains

  • myles_junior Myles Junior (@myles_junior) reported

    @IGcom Have sent a complaint to the regulatory body. Pure market manipulation and disgusting behaviour. I'll be sure to let everyone I possibly can to never use your platform again.

  • martinmcln Martin McLaughlin (@martinmcln) reported

    @IGClientHelp Due to the recent extreme volatility, and in order to prioritise the service we give our existing clients, we are not allowing any new positions to be opened on the US stocks GameStop and AMC Entertainment. WTF is going on here😡 This needs to be investigated
