Yeah just noticed that… where did the l@wsuit posts go…

@ryan9921

Will the leverage change at least bring maximum quantities, swap fees and spreads back to normality?

If the spreads are still wrong tomorrow then some of us will have to close our positions with abnormally low selling prices.

[Zahoorss]

I suggest if you are in red don’t close your position let them do it so you have something against them

[InvestOnly]

theres nothing you can sue them over. And it’s a waste of time. Every human can make a mistake, same goes with companies. T212 is great

[Brissles1]

Exactly this. While this thread isn’t about the spreads, both these issues are compounding. And also, staff haven’t replied to the spread thread, so here we are.

I’m sure there will also be a lot of CFD traders that don’t keep up with the news. So only giving them one day is really stupid.

[Alecfb]

Thank feck lol
For now

[Brissles1]

I imagine this forum tomorrow is going to be… exciting.

So many people won’t know anything about this until after it happens. They are going to be pissed.

[Palanti]

Could someone confirm that this is based on your buy in price? @David

[Ben12345]

I’m not sure if you’re being ignorant or not, they give 24 hrs notice while on a closed market day so 1 hour to prepare, it’s not even an alert on the app so hardly anyone knows and staff aren’t replying and the live chat is down

[Supraman]

@Ben12345, I totally agree with your sentiments but I did get an alert on the app at 16:13 today.

[pipo]

I’d still love to know what these extreme market conditions are.

[Slyster]

Self inflicted…

[Brissles1]

I’d still to love to know why the spreads have become bonkers, and why we’ve not had any warning/explanation. As I’ve said before, these two issues together are going to cause a lot of pain tomorrow.

[joeade]

Please please can someone tell me how much more I would need

[Tony.V]

@Ben12345

This is frankly quite appalling considering Live Chat hasn’t been open for days and staff hardly reply, Plus incredibly short notice.

We have shared already why the chat is currently unavailable. Nonetheless, despite the volume, the reply time is within minutes/hours.

We understand the whole inconvenience - it’s definitely not how we want you to feel about our service. As of the notice period:

Live Chat disabled?

@dragosMLT I respect your point here, and I agree that we could include more details in the in-app notification, so we can avoid confusion. Yet, a couple of points to consider (not trying to find an excuse, instead - I’m sharing the situation from our perspective): the main point was that trading with the instruments would be suspended; we had to act promptly, given the circumstances and the rapid change of the market conditions; we provided all details possible in the different community thr…

Hi all can someone please help a poor girl here? Quite new to this so can’t figure out how much will I need to fund my account

[Brissles1]

Can we be sure T212’s servers are going to be able to cope tomorrow between 2:30GMT and 3:30GMT, especially given the recent issues?

It’s going to be interesting.

[Ben12345]

Still incredibly short notice, some stocks were unavailable to buy and other huge spreads, we have 1 hour market time to sell out and sort ourselves. I think we should be given until at least early next week.
