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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 $$?

  • kaushik_kunaal Kunaal Kaushik (@kaushik_kunaal) reported

    @IGcom why am I not allowed to Slv. This poor quality platform is a criminal enterprise and I’m taking my money out once some orders actually go through. More painful than buying crypto in 2016.

  • SellarsIan Ian Sellars (@SellarsIan) reported from Pickering, England

    @IGClientHelp are you aware of log in problems system keeps logging me out ?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • JuceeRob Rob (@JuceeRob) reported

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

  • 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! 🙄

  • kjbiggar KJB (@kjbiggar) reported

    @IGClientHelp having issues with multiple logins this morning. Login on my PC but as soon as I login on Ap on tablet or phone - boots me out of PC, login on PC boots me out of aps. Had this happen on another occasion awhile back

  • 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!!!!

  • nigelpais Nigel Pais (@nigelpais) reported

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

  • LifeIsTheGame3 Life Is The Game (@LifeIsTheGame3) reported

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

  • Dajobix ireallywonder (@Dajobix) reported

    @IGcom Using volatility as an excuse? **** you @IGcom. You broke your own terms of service. Goodbye.....I'm closing my account

  • ManLikeBugsy Anthony (@ManLikeBugsy) reported

    @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.

  • 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.

  • deleted_user546 Just_a_simple_painter (@deleted_user546) reported

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

  • 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?

  • jamieguru jamieguru (@jamieguru) reported

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

  • StockInvestor16 StockInvestor (@StockInvestor16) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • caino_wins CAINO (@caino_wins) reported

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

  • 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.
