    Anybody else get this on Demo Account … ALL / 43 running Algos stopped (see image 1) with error message ‘Due to an Error’.

    Trades remained open as manual trades (see image 2).

    I got all my Systems started again no problem … all is ‘calm once again’ for now anyway!

    This is about a “live” system where I found out on Sunday evening that it had been stopped due to an “internal error”, but the position was still open…

    Yes, I had this on two of my live Spread Betting accounts. There was an error on 24 March at 12:15 BST (UK). PRT and IG tell me they have fixed the problem. It left me in a mess as all of my positions were left open and unmanaged. They’re discussing reimbursement for the losses as I had many trades left open, unmanageable, and in the red. They would eventually have returned to profit if the code was still running.

    What bothers me the most is that PRT says nothing about this…

    This is ‘live trading’…

    How is it possible that positions remain open without any warning?

    Very concerning and unprofessional…

    Wow, bad!, I sympathise.
    Which option did you have enabled in Settings, see attached.

    I have ‘Remain open’ selected. I prefer this because in the past I’ve accidentally stopped a system, and didn’t want my positions to close – but I’ll probably change it back to default now.

    My justification to PRT is that this setting is designed for cases like manual trade intervention or a system code failure. If the issue is a platform failure, then it’s completely out of my control, and I believe losses should be reimbursed on that basis.

    So far, support have been very professional and thorough, but we haven’t yet reached a final conclusion.
