Do you actually own the shares? When did you buy - do you have confirmation

It shows at me having shares for days now. I have 78.

Unless there is a way for me to have shares shown without owning, but in every way possible I'm sure I own them.

Seems like a repeat of Wednesday where T212 just can't handle the volume, as i've had a purchase sat as pending for around 8 minutes now.

 

[unwashed potato!]

Sounds like you already have an order. Perhaps a stop or a limit.

You can't stack orders for the same stock on T212. So for example you can't set a sell with a high limit, then a stop loss at a much lower limit.

Ah this is it thanks. I have a sell limit for 987 of all shares, so that makes sense.

Phew was getting worried. Ocuk to the rescue.

If it hits $500 I'll sell, then buy back in when it tanks later lol

sell at 485, before others also sell at 500 and it drops before you get a chance to get yours sold.

Did it dip to 120?

 

[Jono8]

You can top up with a debit card which is instant, so probably a 5-10 minute process with T212.

T212 have stopped taking new users it seems..

not today it hasn't

But 500 is a nice round number lol

Koss is doing well right?

Just need Spacemonkey to approve an OCUK Broker section in the MM, I'd do it for 10% cut!

I feel you. Round up the profit in that case as after all, it's nice saying you made 20k, rather than 20.34k.

No one asks your sell price just the profit

Anyone else noticed how small the fluctuations are today compared to yesterday?

The 1 min candles are absolutely tiny in comparison

IG has taken a massive dump i cant even log in to close my position.

He was just a genuine guy doing 5 hour streams that had like 500 views.

Not really genuine if you're a financial advisor and making out that you're just an average guy and that your $50k investment is everything you own when it clearly (to those not drinking his coolaid) isn't

 

[Kenai]

But 500 is a nice round number lol

That's exactly why he suggested 485 - a lot of people will be looking at 500 as their magic 'ive had my profit, now im bailing out' number. If you try to sell as everyone else does, you might find yourself getting caught out if that causes it to drop and you weren't front of the queue.

This is ******* ********. There is no way i am taking a loss on this and paying if IG platform has gone down.

Why, do you have friends in the media that can pull strings for you and bail you out because it's not fair?

You would have to be very rich for that.

IG is being a bit **** though today in all seriousness.

Don't be a ******* the simple fact is they will take my money if i lose my bet, but i can't close it because of their platform failure. So it is their mistake to rectify.
