    @IGClientHelp @IGcom Anyone thinking of joining should be know that IG 24/7 customer service means you’ll be on the phone 24/7 trying to get through to a single member of their call centre. 2 weeks just to open an account

    @IGClientHelp 2/ a platform can not handle high volume of traffic is not safe and it is possibly down again if there is higher volume again and people won’t able to trade and it will cause loss for someone.

    @IGClientHelp No problem. I am attempting set up a Share Trading account with @IGClientHelp , but it seems to temporarily unavailable. Any idea when this will be open for new applications again? I desperately want to move across to IG from Trading212

    @IGcom please remove restriction around #AMC. Its hardly a volatile stock anymore - flatlined for days. Other brokers have done this, why not @IGcom? Cannot average down on my entry and likely to lose money over this.

    @IGClientHelp Is there any chance that you could answer the phone please? I have been on hold for 2 hours waiting to speak to someone because I need to close a position and the neither the website or the app will let me. This is very bad service.

    @IGClientHelp your system froze, didn't allow me to close a position, everything blacked out, went down, didn't let me close then either, went further down and finally closed.. but according to your staff, you are not having any technical issues and cannot help. Absolute joke

    @chriftC @IGClientHelp I've had the same issue and was unable to close my position causing me to miss a profit and endure a huge loss instead. But according to their support team 'they aren't having any technical issues' and can't help any further. So, if their system plays up and you lose money, tough

    1/ @IGClientHelp when I can trade gamestop? Can you give me a clearer reason why you banned trading? Is that really because of technical issue as #JuneFelix’s email? Now, #GME has low volume of trading . Can I trade?

    @IGClientHelp When will the bug with volume not updating web platform be fixed? Volume will show when viewing a stock but doesn’t update. It’s really hard to day trade with volume. I reporting it to IG 8 weeks ago, by email, provided screenshots, followed up, but still no fix 🤨
