    @IGClientHelp hi .. is it possible to call your help desk to close an open bitcoin position. I didn't realise that the market closed with IG on a Fri night 10pm.

    @MrLarus My shares still haven't been transferred to Ciz on @IGcom yet. Ive called them once and now emailed. Terrible service, half the value likely to have gone by the time they get round to it

    @IGcom Why I don't want to use IG. 1. There is not 2 factor authentication and when asked to the customer care there are no tokens left and if hacked the risk is ours 👏🏽

    @IGClientHelp Hi, couple things I've asked my account manager regarding but got nowhere. Could you please help? 1 - P&L does not reconcile across the account - different P&Ls shown under account balance, positions etc 2 - Trade analytics feature has great promise but.. 1/2

    @IGClientHelp Hi @IGClientHelp @IGcom sent all the info, still no reply or resolution to the problem. Getting really frustrating as it's been ongoing for 4 days now. I'm sorry to say, really bad customer service so far!

    @IGcom @IGClientHelp fantastic broker but terrible one too when problems occur & u try getting them to sort only for them to send u back & forth & no success. Only a madman repeats same things & expects a different result each time 🙈

    @IGcom Listen, I just want to be able to shout loudly into my mobile things like "Buy the dip..short that sucker to Hades....hold till it tops out..when does the WAZIDEK open in Asia?...close up our positions...damn, we took a bath; just got too greedy", while wearing red braces?

    @TheFCA @IGClientHelp oh the irony of being called IG Client Help. No help available, currently on hold for over half an hour AGAIN! still no answer. Simple issue, promised it would be resolved - not done yet

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom an utter disgrace in terms of customer service. Haven't been able to trade on my account for over a week due to an unknown reason, missed a number of trade opps yet nothing but false promises & excuses from IG to resolve. Empty apologies!

    @zarazaib1 @IGcom @rosbergxracing They lock you out of live trades with no warning, stop you opening new positions to hedge your bets and lock your stop loss so you can’t lower it to rife out the manipulation. Spread betting. Market volatility they said. Platforms crashing like stock cars but we don’t have issues

    @IGClientHelp Hi, both my ipad app and laptop are blank on the trading days between 29th March and 12th April for the daily charts. I have closed down and reopened to no avail. Please can you suggest how this can be resolved. Thanks

    @IGClientHelp - Is there an issue with the twitter feed list down the right hand side of the trading platform. It does not seem to update automatically today (as it did not yesterday)? #IGPlatformIssue

    @IGClientHelp This issue has still not been resolved - pretty poor to have such a widespread issue with your charts. Impacts all the backwards looking TA indicators.

    @IGClientHelp Deposited money 4th May. On 9th May still not in my account. Asked live-help to assist. They gave me email helpdesk in UK. No reply to that after 12 days! No money in account. Just spoke to livehelp who now cannot find the email. Appaling lack of service
