more like high risk/low reward 'hobby'.... :)

Leonarda, it happened to me and to my mate at the same time. We were trading at different places. Prices didnt freze. They were moving, but you would not be able to get in or out of a position. Graph showed price normaly, but quotes got stuck, moved couple of points but orders were rejected...

Chrome, much faster than explorer...

No I dont think so. I have 20MB broadband, 2.8Ghz/8GB Mem. My mate who traded DAX at the same time was trading from a trading arcade (he doenst have limits on DAX so he uses IG occasionaly). I do not think it is issue with pc or connection. I havent tried calling their trading desk tbh, but by...

Thats possible, but it happened to me on a number of occasions. IG is ok in general, but sucks in this type of scenario. Basically the chart was working, but price quotes got stuck. You would not be able to get in or out of a position until the price retraced back. It took only a couple of...

just shorting FTSE via IG. IG stopped working again during the deepest selloff ( FTSE from 5650 to 5600). happened on another occasion a week ago. bit annoying.... if anybody was trading this via different platform that worked, pls let me know. thx

Ok, considering all the posts here, I think that regarding my initial thread, I do not have much of a chance to succeed and get money (taken from my account) on the winning trade back. Thanks for the advice and opinions on this one guys! D.

I havent seen this one before, many thanks for posting this again

I get 'price no longer valid' messages as well, quite often in fact. But that will probably be the case for pretty much anybody with short term trading (betting) strategy. I would really like to find out when exactly are you in 'conflict of interest' with SB company. Example: got a friend who...

Gle, could u be more specific on this one? Just interested as I read similar things elswhere, but not sure how exactly can they limit you... Do you mean actual trade size?

Gedward, I think this would be the case at the end of the day. All right, to sum up, I think I would not stand a chance to claim money back due to the fact what Gedward and Tar mentioned before, IG can claim any price quote as erroneous after all and call it back. But when exactly is SB quote...

Gle, Tar has indeed got a valid point, but: I was not traded FTSE future, I was spreadbetting out of market hours FTSE 100, regardless the methodology they use for pricing it after official market closes. Now, dont want to sound like a nerd, but lets remind ourselves the terminology here. I was...
