IG Markets, what the hell?

[momothebored]

I opened an account with IG markets.

On their platform, all markets (forex and others) are listed as "market closed"

The system maintenance is scheduled for tomorrow.

All forex brokers allow for continued FX trading 24/7 right?

So this is definitely a technical issue?

it's the weekend and markets are closed.

sunday 22:00 uk time to friday 22:00 uk time. what that is in Singapore time I don't know, but it'll still be around the start of the weekend i'm sure?

did you not check the opening hours of the broker you signed up with? you could have questioned this 24/7 notion with a quick google search maybe?

is it midday in Singapore? if the sun is out? maybe go enjoy

it's hot, humid and sunny 363 days out of 365 here.

it'd be really nice to have some snow and freezing wind for a change. :|

There's always football, horse racing and all forms of sports betting for the weekend. I'm sure you can find something as a fix for your craving !!!
