    @JohnMcG59249309 @SpacsTon @IGClientHelp On the basis they supposedly operate a hedged business model and having regard to the level of liquidity that is available on the mainstream SPACS I don't see what the problem is. Hopefully they get it sorted asap!

  • fletch000007 Fletch (@fletch000007) reported

    @SLowie100 @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Yep, agreed and no great issue with that. I understand wanting to maximise the profitability of the business of course. Step 1) stop taking new positions on certain stocks - they seem to have done this. Step 2) let your customers know that you wish to withdraw from this game 1/2

  • Rosskirwan1 Ross Kirwan (@Rosskirwan1) reported

    @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Two days for clients to adjust their portfolios is bad, and could do irreversible damage to your company brand IG. Stop all the speculation and come out with your intentions @IGClientHelp

  • Fafaservices MedSupply (@Fafaservices) reported

    @IGcom @ST_Business Hi CEO, I have started with IG since Jan 20211 and experienced IG platform down and was unable to close deals. Although raised to IG, the issue hasn't been resolved.

  • FreedomFan35 Dr Nobody (@FreedomFan35) reported

    @IGcom are you aware of an issue where open positions are not appearing on charts nor in the "open positions" section?!

  • SeanDevonport Sean (@SeanDevonport) reported

    @IGClientHelp I get an email everyday telling me to add funds to my account when the situation is out of my control. Can you stop this please and just resolve the issue?

  • noronha_ashley Ashley Noronha (@noronha_ashley) reported

    @IGClientHelp Getting an error when trying to buy a stock on London Stock Exchange: “Not suitable for European retail clients”. Bit strange it’s not suitable for me buy stock from LSE when I am in London..? Ticker: ARB

  • KingVeli11 King Veli (@KingVeli11) reported

    @IGClientHelp hey IG hope all is well, I’m having trouble with depositing money into my account. My IG app wouldn’t allow me to deposit more than 3k but I’ve read on IG’s website that the maximum limit in 99.9k. No one is answering the phones or emails, please help.

  • DeedSpaceSimian Space Simian (@DeedSpaceSimian) reported

    @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Low return for you, high return for us the traders. You are just removing all the stocks that go up and keeping all the stocks that go down.

  • El_Salvo_ Salvador Bali (@El_Salvo_) reported

    @IGcom Will @IGcom be making public the list of all the stock restrictions they are currently implementing? Seems they were happy for us to hold onto downtrodden commodity & energy stocks for the last 12mths, but are now shutting them all down as the uptrend begins #Rigged

  • M4Roberts MartinRoberts (@M4Roberts) reported

    @IGClientHelp So, what you are saying is I can only close my current position but can’t add to it!! Surely this is restrictive practice? Why could I open a position initially? The issues with @IGcom as a platform keep mounting up!

  • fletch000007 Fletch (@fletch000007) reported

    @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Also “offer a low return”? So you’re saying as you don’t make huge profits on these, only some profits, you’re just not bothered about continuing the service for people with existing positions?

  • GaryNTrader Gary Newman (@GaryNTrader) reported

    @Lol_Yiddo @IGClientHelp Doesn’t really affect me either - I just think it is a terrible way to run a business if you don’t inform all clients at the same time when it comes to a change like this

  • Prick4aTick George (@Prick4aTick) reported

    @IGClientHelp can you please respond to my DM. Need an issue resolving

  • sosisticated Matthew Smith (@sosisticated) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi! Trying to upload documents for account activation. Error message: "Sorry, we"re having technical issues. Unfortunately, we can"t finish processing your application at the moment." Am I doing something wrong? Or any idea on how long until the issue is resolved?

  • telugumesh telugumesh (@telugumesh) reported

    @IGcom anyone here to help?

  • Ryankia2 Ryan Kia (@Ryankia2) reported

    @GrindertraderUK @IGcom Oh don't worry mate! Just curious, never had a similar problem. But, I wasn't involved with NMC so idk lol.

  • MBdaytrading MBTrading (@MBdaytrading) reported

    @richmoi222 @WShak1 It’s shocking by @IGcom - platform goes down during heavy volume days and now this ! Disgusting

  • stephen62285111 stephen hill (@stephen62285111) reported

    @IGClientHelp cannot log into my account, know my username and when reset my password and try to log in tells me to contact customer support and nobody answers the phone......

  • BabblerBestBets 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐬 (@BabblerBestBets) reported

    @DavidBurton1971 @DDS_DocHoliday @IGClientHelp The issue may be people mis understanding and selling PHYISICAL shares thinking their share will crash and they can buy back lower. That may have an impact if enough people think that.

  • Mo_Miah0 Mo Miah (@Mo_Miah0) reported

    @IGClientHelp I tried to open a share dealing account with another email of mine and it recognised the previous one and now it says it’s locked I have spent over 2 hours on the phone no answer please can you help ?

  • GaryNTrader Gary Newman (@GaryNTrader) reported

    @Sierra117_Jon @ChrisyShields @IGcom Sounds like they’re reducing the stocks that they let people trade via CFDs and SBs on a permanent basis though, rather than this just being something temporary. Maybe they’re worried about the level of long risk if the markets were to crash

  • eddiedavis2707 Eddie (@eddiedavis2707) reported

    @ChrisyShields @Sierra117_Jon @IGcom Couldn’t agree more absolutely outrageous decision! Take EUA for example as if you would wanna close down here 😳

  • lincartbrooks Dean Brooks (@lincartbrooks) reported

    @wheeliedealer @GrindertraderUK @IGcom Maybe on one of their life support machines.

  • sighsmommy Katie Reed (@sighsmommy) reported

    @IGClientHelp I am trading with a robot and I am still waiting for that platform to help but do you know why I can't set my lot size to .01 and it show on the charts too...it just keeps trying to trade and saying invalid lot amount, even with expert settings .01 chart shows 0

  • Mo_Miah0 Mo Miah (@Mo_Miah0) reported

    @IGClientHelp I have an issue with my account when I initially downloaded the app I wanted to open a share dealing account , the app only offered CFD and I didn’t complete my account now it doesn’t allow me to open a share dealing account

  • FtseSpecialist William (@FtseSpecialist) reported

    @IGClientHelp Well I spent 30 mins on to customer service and few hrs trying to fix. They said somebody from pro realtime would call me if I did a report. Still no call. I’m sure it can be changed if you know how but I dont. I’m not a happy IG customer over this

  • vmohatta Vaibhav (@vmohatta) reported

    @IGClientHelp you need to increase your allocation for crypto...advance notice should have been given before just closing down purchases

  • ehbones Hallie (@ehbones) reported

    @IGClientHelp hi my Instagram account has been flagged as spam (incorrectly) since July. I am tweeting all the insta support pages I can find since you people don’t just have costumer support. HELP!

  • DabOf0ppo _ (@DabOf0ppo) reported

    Trying to get through to @IGcom to place a simple trade is shockingly bad. 45 mins I’ve been waiting now!!! 😤
