  • debshampa Pinky (@debshampa) reported

    @IGClientHelp Totally unacceptable!@IGClientHelp I been waiting from last few months to sell of few of shares when market goes down and so disappointed now

  • duncanmacgregor Duncan (@duncanmacgregor) reported

    @PoundingDaTable UK Broker @IGcom has locked us all out claiming "technical issues". ******* infuriating!

  • barloJarlo kek (@barloJarlo) reported

    @IGClientHelp "We’re currently investigating reports" - Do you not have an monitoring solution is place. Its appalling it takes reports to know that your platform is suffering stability issues. This is the type of actions a small start up takes, not a company with a MC of more than 2 billion.

  • valuehustle ValueHustle (@valuehustle) reported

    @IGClientHelp Terrible service. Unable to close trades

  • pjb2go 🕗ontheup🕟 (@pjb2go) reported

    Anybody else having issues with @IGcom platform?

  • MBdaytrading MBTrading (@MBdaytrading) reported

    @IGcom down ! Sort it out please

  • MrSalvenStadl MisterS (@MrSalvenStadl) reported

    @IGClientHelp Of all the time for you guys to have system problems - presumably you will be reimbursing any profits on trades that couldn't be closed off due to 'Sorry there seems to be a problem' ?

  • toemustboolerth Vatark FX (@toemustboolerth) reported

    @IGcom log-in error! Expecting that btw.

  • vsihv Vivek S (@vsihv) reported

    @adamkbaranowski @IGClientHelp Straight up - shutting down the platform in the first half hour of US open is ridiculous.

  • Mary33246751 Mary (@Mary33246751) reported

    @IGClientHelp Not acceptable at all...... hey IG clients pls we need to do something...... this is ridicules.... I have other accounts with other brokers.... I never have/had issues.... this is not even an issue, this is disaster.... 😡😡😡😡

  • Lyon3Leo Joe (@Lyon3Leo) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom Once again your “servers go down” at the exact moment there’s high volatility or price movements!! Who’s going to refund my losses?!!! Thieves!!

  • adam101 adam101 (@adam101) reported

    @IGClientHelp Next to crash will be your share price. I’m not th only one who’ll be packing up and taking my money elsewhere. Muppets

  • johncharles247 john charles (@johncharles247) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom The issue is you preventing trading in certain stocks because you don’t want to lose money...

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom Totally unacceptable service. You don’t seem to have any or insufficient resilience. Seems to be a recurring problem
