Must be IG Index. They claim their system is down. I had a short which I tried to take some off at 15520, when I eventually got thru on the phone the price had bounced by 60pips. Bastards. The sharks!
Yep IG Im well angry! OK i made tiny profit.. But where to from here?
this could play out a great trade and they screwed me.

Wont have the trust after this........

technically it should go up assuming 4hr gives a bullish pin, price retrace back to breakout area yesterday and order flow took this mofo up

was risky because of the bearish flipping candle on 15 minutes otherwise id have take a chance...oh well hindsight is a wonderfull thing...so is real account

its all about this resistance..PA wasnt quite what i needed to see to go long

At least you didn't lose.

I was on their site yesterday and they mentioned something about getting you a better price if one was available in a fast moving market. You ever benefit from that or was it marketing hype?

I dont believe their crap. cant see how it would ever work in your favour if they have an option. Thankfully I had a short earlier taken off the first retest of the high. She was coming to fetch my second half when the news kicked in and it turned into a 200 pip gain which I closed out. Also had a high risk short on E$ as a double top test, which incredibly burst to my 100pip TP in minutes. So cant complain as I hit a week's target financially in 10min. Just livid when u cant take the profit from a trade as planned due to a system failure. Oh well... May have to calm the frustration and call it a very green day..

Ive been given better prices before when ive closed out manually.

Ive been happy upto now good execution, good spreads, not been slipped yet on stops.

But dont think ive tried to trade fairly extreme situations like this morning yet.

I / we had been waiting for this retracement and my plan was in place even better that it lined up with 62.

A great opertunity so loaded it nicely and blam screwed over.

Will be having words with them just to hear their explaination.

May give them another chance but next time will close account.

Next set up please
