    @IGClientHelp Still down; no update? What's the update?

  • adamkbaranowski Adam Baranowski (@adamkbaranowski) reported

    @IGClientHelp Very bad timing. What's going to happen to trades left on accounts of users who can't log in? Are they going to be executed if matched or cancelled?

  • ThibaultSalomo2 Thibault Salomon (@ThibaultSalomo2) reported

    @IGClientHelp Tried to close my position at a good price and then the platform crashed...You're not even answering the phones - how can I close my trade?? The price has gone down a lot now...!

  • Mary33246751 Mary (@Mary33246751) reported

    @IGClientHelp You are the worst broker I have ever seen.

  • hopkinp85 Paula (@hopkinp85) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom cannot login for last 5 mins

  • 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.

  • BillieJago BillieJago (@BillieJago) reported

    @IGClientHelp platform is down - can't login!

  • duncanmacgregor Duncan (@duncanmacgregor) reported

  • 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!!

  • Lilalush Lilalush (@Lilalush) reported

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

  • M4Roberts MartinRoberts (@M4Roberts) reported

    @IGSquawk @IGcom Site been down for 20mins!! Left absolutely helpless.. phones busy.. you offer a service but at crucial times the service fails!!!

  • 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' ?

  • travisawilson Travis Wilson (@travisawilson) reported

    @IGClientHelp You've been down now for 30mins....someone is going to lose their job, surely.

  • jme_rbt Unwashed Mass (@jme_rbt) reported

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

  • Lyon3Leo Joe (@Lyon3Leo) reported

    @IGcom @IGSquawk Once again when its high volume trading day, IG conveniently goes down!! ******* had it with you thieves!! Withdrawing all my money and closing all my accounts!!! #igindex

  • milbshake milbshake (@milbshake) reported

    @IGClientHelp It's the 5th time in the last 9mths that their platform has gone down due to a major selloff at open. It's clear IG are aware of the situation but are unwilling to spend the money to upgrade their systems. Maybe people should complain to the regulator en masse ? Its shocking tbh.

  • 59snoopy manpreet johar (@59snoopy) reported

    @IGClientHelp This level of service is just not good enough 🤬🤬🤬
