Does a broker have a legal duty to provide recent indicative ask and bids?

@phildawson No update yet, I’ll share here when there’s a clear ETA.

@David thanks, did you see my table above on Sunday with a few examples of fake zero spreads shown inside T212? And then the MUST example above.

You’ll see a few XLON / XLON NO STAMP DUTY so its not just AIM.

This is now 0.12 and 0.115p right now.

Frustratingly I’m all out of KOD just as it pops just can’t trust the T212 quotes or alerts to go off.

Still showing 0.1 and 0.1 in T212.

A big warning to anyone putting in a market buy atm. You won’t get 0.1

As was pointed out by @David, we’re still working on it & we’ll update you right away when we have ETA.

@David Any ETA now?

An example this morning KEFI is about to pop and it doesn’t help missing the quotes from 8:00am

Having to look at other brokers to see the recent quote isn’t cool.

Edit: over an hour late. I shouldn’t complain at least it updated today.

Edit 2:
You can see it’s getting quotes absolutely fine every minute now. It’s just that initial quote why was it over an hour late compared to all other brokers. It’s the most important hour of the day.

This is another example of the inconsistency. Today is a normal day, first quote on open as expected.


8am
8am

9:03am above (when all other brokers are 8am)
8am

KOD on T212 showing stuck on a weird spread atm and last update on the 7th.

Perfectly fine on any other broker atm (0.105 ASK and 0.1 offer)

@David @Martin @Rumen is there an update from Bloomberg? Did you see my table above with the fake zero spreads and the comment about it’s not just AIM stocks.

Edit: it’s now the 12 Jan still the same.

@David @Martin @Rumen

Another example KEFI still showing yesterday. It’s 8:15am and missing the new quote that every other broker can see.

Did you want me to continue posting these examples?

First candle 23 minutes later.

ARB 36 minutes late

@phildawson Hi Phil. :wave:t2:
No need to provide additional examples, we know what to look for & are working on a solution with Bloomberg.

@David I would to know what reason Bloomberg have to defend it being updated five days late to a wrong zero spread at a random 3:42pm on a Tuesday :joy:

are you able to share the results once they come back, either in the forum or via PM?

The ASK is 0.105 if anyone is playing along at home.

Why don’t you guys just suck it up and use CMC markets?

Is this a joke or what lol

This thread has nothing to do with trading CFDs

That advice here is like telling someone to just use a hovercraft instead of water skiing. (I’m familiar with CMC too for CFD and spread betting, it’s a decent platform)

A quick TL;DR this thread is about the quotes that come through in Invest/ISA being out of date due to the shitty Bloomberg data feed. It affects all instruments.

It’s why it’s 8:36 and we still haven’t had a new quote at 8:00 like other brokers.

It’s incredibly important we have up to date indicative prices shown, it doesn’t help if they are weeks out of date which is why I’ve spent most of 2020, with 20hrs+ of chat, 25+ support tickets and a formal complaint, pointing it out so the million T212 customers will benefit.

Could you let us know if you find a discrepancy again? The quotes should be working fine now. :slight_smile:

@David is that from Friday? I’m just having a look and can see these zero spreads atm.

Picking one CGO it should be 9p and 8.25p shown on brokers atm. Below are the trades

@David so I’m guessing all that table doesn’t actually have a zero spread

@phildawson An improvement was deployed today near the end of the session. These should self-correct when a new quote comes in.

Thats cool, I’ll check tomorrow morning. I’m🤞crossing everything it’s fixed.

Are you able to share (either here or via PM) what they discovered was wrong and improved? Or do you just get a “we improved it” reply back?

I’m hoping it was a yeah sorry about that included. I hate to think of the many thousands of pounds this has caused T212 customers either buying higher than expected or not getting anywhere near the bid indicated when selling.

Hopefully T212 can see why I was so persistent in reporting this, and why I was so hacked off with the poor customer service constantly fobbing me off for literally months and with the condescending support tickets telling me they have looked into it and come to the conclusion it’s an AIM stock. Or trying to teach me what spread was, or some other bollocks. Anyway hopefully no more. :crossed_fingers:
