Oh right, that is big for those

Thanks il bear it in mind. What did you trade with them ? What did you class as stupid sizes ? Cheers Danny

I only do small on ftsetrades of £1pp, I trade ftse 100 shares and go in up to £100pp sometimes but tend to only swing trade and close within a week or so

Well spotted Tom, I didn’t notice the date.

What a nightmare situation to be in, I hold around £10k in my IG spreadbet account and this worries me. I’ve not had any issues myself but I’ve noticed they sometimes suspend trading from time to time for no reason. Message them and tell them that you will be posting it on Internet forums, il...

I was in an out from 166 up to 219 making constant profits, but opened a position at 197, thinking it was the floor at the time. It wasn't, so that's why I'm now down at the moment. It's all good though, my previous profits I banked make up for financing charges. Also in cash ready to buy real...
