kbharj,
I just read you review of IG,
I saw a dow UP Binary bet quoted at 0/3 so i bought it at three, it went up within seconds to 30 somthing and then the dealing interface closed and would not let me close the bet.
That 0/3 quote was clearly erroneous, i noticed IG were
still quoting BB based on the previous close price ie down
150 odd points, no wonder the UP bet was quoted 0/3.
This was a clear mistake, you shouldnt hold it against IG.
They have thousands of markets to maintain they cant always
get the price right for each one.
Sure they should have phoned you back but you should
have realised that 0/3 was clearly wrong given that the
futures were only down like 25 points last night.
Note that i have alteast a half a dozen bets refused by IG in the
last six months, and once even had a closed bet re-opened,
and they didnt even tell me!! I could have shut shop after
the close confirmation and ended up with a big loss..
Count yourself lucky you got an email i didnt even get that.
However i take responsibility for my own trading and never
blame IG or anyone else.
