For all their flashy platform - underneath it doesn't actually work, they must be losing income today, not withstanding reputational damage.

Took 18 mins after markets opened to update their service status - good for cmcx I suppose.

Reports IGG's platform has just gone down under weight of traffic.

Many thanks for that APAD, after trying most of the Brokers over the last 20 odd years I finally settled for Barclays for all accounts about 12 years ago, apart from the considerable disruption when they were forced by Government to upgrade their security for customers I like the way they work but always keen to here of others Brokers to choose from should the occasion arise, thanks once again.

Yes LUDERITZ. They moved to ordinary share trading a while back and are clearly going for our part of the market big-time with their recent price cut.
I've never traded CFDs or spread bet.

Interesting post APAD, never used them myself as I insist in trading/investing in buying the actual shares, did you trade in the same way I.e. buying/selling shares rather then spread betting/CFDs?

At the risk of being terminally (gerrit) boring I love the new IGG interface. It's replaced three other websites I used for different views.
And it charges £3 a trade.
I don't know if you can try it out for free - I expect so.
I was part of testing it out - didn't do a very good job as I just scratched the surface.
I know this looks like advertising, but it ain't. Only posted on one other Board, it's just genuine appreciation.
Odd huh 😊

Couple of weeks or so to the Update, would be nice to see 10% here as a result :)

Backtested £7 and saw plenty of buying. £7 should turn to support now and build a base for the next move up.

[aleman] 03/3/2020 08:13

Looks like we might break £7 now?

So CMC & PLUS, have issued positive trading statements. Also Gain Capital aka city index bought out. Looks good for IG, this quarter.

[aleman] 03/3/2020 07:32

From today's update where they say they are trading ahead of expectations:

In addition, the recent market conditions experienced have seen heightened trading activity amongst CMC's clients over and above the strong performance delivered to date.

All aboard this rocket ship

It's just a minor pot hole on the road to riches so far. People have got complacent with the long bull market since 2008/9.

A proper crash has to be on the cards ar some stage. I've no idea if this is it.

[gbh2] 28/2/2020 08:40

I wonder how many Longs are being blown out of the water each day.

[mister md] 28/2/2020 08:10

absolutely.

And this from PLUS today:

"The Company is pleased to report a significant increase in levels of customer trading activity. The Group's financial performance during the first quarter to date is consequently trending substantially ahead of the last quarter of 2019."

[aleman] 25/2/2020 13:10

I see CMCX continues to rise. Shouldn't the increasing volatility be good for IGG revenues?

[farnesbarnes] 24/2/2020 20:23

That they have a dedicated status sub domain says it all.

hmmm I have a sneaky feeling this is a convenient day to have interrupted service :(

[cwa1] 24/2/2020 11:52

Several people have reported problems elsewhere with IG

[gbh2] 12/2/2020 13:17

Good results or the next approach to ex dividend day.

[luderitz] 12/2/2020 13:11

She will rise Aleman she will rise ... but not just yet.
