  • BolatMuhsin Muhsin Bolat (@BolatMuhsin) reported

    @IGcom This week was incredible with IG. Unstable system etc. I am also searching a new broker.

  • mohamme98410314 mohammed aliyu (@mohamme98410314) reported

    @PREETAMOO7 @IGcom I got my account retrieved with the help of cyber_pro02_ on instagram he is really reliable

  • RickyToddz Ricky (@RickyToddz) reported

    @IGcom You mean they’ll be reviewed if the price comes down!! Sickening that you use interruption to poor service to not allow new positions, but whats worse is if your in a position you need 100% margin!! Shocking! A lot clients will leave you for this @TheFCA hope your monitoring this

  • 1888GGJ GA (@1888GGJ) reported

    @IGcom The reason you are restricting is to protect the hedge funds who are still shorted to more than 13 billion, by restricting buy market you will hope to force the price down controlling the market ....robinhood did the same and cost a lot of retail invetors on thursday.

  • TradesDemon Demon Trades (@TradesDemon) reported

    @jaeson72 @IGcom Had zero issues trading AMC personally, I have a 350 mbps connection. This is rife manipulation to protect hedge funds and screw over private investors. What’s good for you is not good for everyone. People will loose millions because of this fraudulent behaviour.

  • EllieJaycountry Ellie Jay (@EllieJaycountry) reported

    @IGcom Last three days at the US open app has failed to work “technical issues” probably covering their own positions , my other no issues no limits no restrictions.

  • wormboyslim Wiggly (@wormboyslim) reported

    The fix is in boys, @IGcom now no longer allows new positions in GME or AMC #GameStop

  • baby_joanna7 Baby Joanna (@baby_joanna7) reported

    @PREETAMOO7 @IGcom I had same default with my account. Felt bad thought it was gone but @Jklaushacksx helped me out and recovered my account. Message him Asap

  • JemPoppleton Jeremiah Von Poppleton III (@JemPoppleton) reported

    @IGcom I can certainly see the point, the responsibility for stability of the platform as a whole is much more important than the restriction of two equities. Its likely your systems detected the traffic flow as a DDOS attack and started rejecting any other api calls made to it.

  • Dannystorer Yups (@Dannystorer) reported

    @IGcom have just stopped people buying new GME or AMC. The fix is in. #TheBigShortSqueeze

  • hobbzee Tom H (@hobbzee) reported

    @MoochyWoochyWoo @IGcom @Watermelon_AIM Yeah it’s been a real pain in the ***. It’s been fun to watch but get the volumes down so we can trade again imo!

  • YeetBsbakery Yeetbread (@YeetBsbakery) reported

    @granty3333 @IGcom Yeah well it’s not their decision of when I can buy and sell with my own damn money.

  • max77365367 max (@max77365367) reported

    @IGClientHelp this is the third time I'm tweeting you, I cannot login to my account, even when I change my password I still can't login, please don't ignore me and help me out here.

  • kkarl_bukowski Hank Chinaski (@kkarl_bukowski) reported

    @IGcom Prioritising the service you are giving your customers? You're platform was down 3 days in a row at us opening and customer were not able to trade. No official apology or acknowledgement.

  • RexRsamuelson Rex Samuelson 🔝 (@RexRsamuelson) reported from Cape Town, Western Cape

    @IGcom IG you are a joke ... platform down at least three days in a row just as US markets open ... and now this. You don’t understand the meaning of service ....

  • itsadriangreen adrian green (@itsadriangreen) reported

    @IGcom restricts buying more $GME and $AMC since monday! And you need a 100% margin to keep it open bought at 2,78 **** you! WE ARE NOT SELLING! HOLD THE LINE

  • Whoscbsdomo Whoscbsdomo (@Whoscbsdomo) reported

    @IGcom & how are you prioritizing the service you give existing clients if existing clients can’t buy what they want ? Unless I misunderstood what was wrote ? Prioritizing my needs is making sure I’m able to buy whatever I want at whatever price as long as I can afford to. “ TRY AGAIN!

  • hamanegg1983 G Davidson (@hamanegg1983) reported

    @IGcom @Watermelon_AIM It’s ok for the banks to do this but **** the peasants

  • jaeson72 JAESON Debarros (@jaeson72) reported

    @Londontrader7 @Lol_Yiddo @IGcom I guess they make their decisions and live with them, balance of profit v risk v customer growth/retention. In the digital age customers will vote with their feet if there's a better platform out there!

  • crushermccann Chris McCann (@crushermccann) reported

    @IGcom Very poor form. By preventing buys from the private investors and allowing sells you’re forcing the share price down to protect the Wall Street shorters. Get your priorities right! IG Exodus I hope follows

  • neverton_29 PI_bloke (@neverton_29) reported

    @ZaksTradersCafe As a potential new IG client perhaps they could just answer my email to their new customer email sent last Tuesday? Seems to be nothing but complaints on here however so maybe I should go elsewhere @IGcom

  • WeightedRace PeopleInTheChat4 (@WeightedRace) reported

    @JamesMay35 @IGcom they have a plan, its a filthy one....they shut down servers due to traffic...this drives traffic to etoro...etoro crashes and so on and so forth...theyre trying to throttle the market, drag it out so they can buy each dip and you cant. only answer? holdfast

  • C0nfu5 Greg Neal (@C0nfu5) reported

    @IGcom Down for multiple days in a row and now you do this. You are a Joke! Will be changing brokers

  • BanjoPigeon Tarmac and horses (@BanjoPigeon) reported

    @IGcom You are ***************. One of my stocks doubled while you took the platform offline on purpose. I couldn't sell. I'm leaving your awful platform. You will be held to account.

  • TradesDemon Demon Trades (@TradesDemon) reported

    @IGcom @matt801724 WTF I expect all my money back at the price I put in at a minimum! Good bye IG! Don’t offer the option to buy stock then freeze it. Unacceptable!

  • EdEast8 Scaredmoneydontmakemoney (@EdEast8) reported

    @IGcom This is ridiculous - you are just as bad as those pricks on wall street! Allow the movement, this is Robinhood behaviour! Hold the line!!!! $GME $AMC

  • juvejuve2021 Il Gobbo Juventino (@juvejuve2021) reported

    @IGcom Dreadful support, long call times, poor overall response times, deposits not being credited on time, platform frequently down in the last week..... And now this? Seems you're going all out to convince us to move our accounts elsewhere. Bravo sirs, bravo. I accept.

  • AntiNattProUK Over and Out (@AntiNattProUK) reported

    @ftweekend you ran a story today about wallstreet bets. Today IG has done a @RobinhoodApp and shut down its customers from trading in $AMC and $GME stocks. Only option left for some customers is to sell at a loss. Anybody know a willing UK Class-action lawyer? @IGClientHelp

  • AngusDonaldson9 Angus Donaldson (@AngusDonaldson9) reported

    @IGcom Unbelievable, siding with the hedge funds and establishment, I hope you get the same fate as Robinhood. Absolutely zero integrity, you are the problem that we are trying to address. SORT IT OUT!!! @elonmusk

  • RyannWills Ryan Wills (@RyannWills) reported

    @jo94754844 @IGcom Good job you don’t! Absolutely woeful to say the least, Trading212 has been down as well 🙄🤭
