Had an account with these for about 2 years. Wanted to try a new strategy with a different broker. It is ok, but not as good tools as IG and others that I've tried like CMC.

2) why upon market is open your platform is not open?
3) why does the stop loss is hit but in real the market price did not reach that price in the first place?

Pls answer this questions publicly rather asking to speak to a customer service, the public should know.

I worked with James Internicola to… set up a MetaTrader4 Corporate account and fund the account.

I worked with James Internicola to setup my Forex.com account. I had a lot of problems with setting up the correct account type, but James walked me through each and every problem I encountered.

James is very professional, personable, helpful plus a few more adjectives all of which made it a pleasure working with him.

Back to IG, CityIndex poor.

I switched from 10 years with IG to go to Cityindex. The CityIndex PC watch lists are good and easy to manage, but the charting tool is 'clunky' and buggy, particularly on their phone app, which use Tradestation, whereas IG was smarter and easy to use and doesn't forget settings and put menus over the top of the lines I'm trying to edit!!! And CityIndex customer service is very, very poor. Back to IG.

Konrad Kowalewski

Konrad called me after I opened a live account. I appreciated the customer care as I rarely have used a live account although I have many years experience of tinkering with a demo account. (I'm very cautious !) While Konrad was on the call I took the opportunity to ask about the automatic safety on the account if my funding level was breached and was assured that CI do not let customer accounts fall into -ve. Also Konrad explained when I asked about how the account handles dividends. All in all a good experience - top marks to CI.

Personally, I find it very easy to trade here. I have been using the platform for several years, on and off. I don't recall having any issues. All my trades seem to go through as expected.

cheated

Several years ago I was cheated on a sell trade. The market was falling and at this point I was 60 points up. I put a stop at where I got in and suddenly I was closed-out. When I called to ask what had happened, I was told that the market (for a millisecond) spiked exactly 60 point up!!... and back to where it was?? Clearly it is your index and simulates the real market as you permit.
I was also stopped from releasing a stop(on the App) as it approached the stop price. I called to effect the stop removal to be told "it was locked-in"???

Disappointed to have been kept waiting 2-3 days. Still unable to switch accounts online via city index app. I had 2 positions open, if the market turned I could have been in a lot of trouble. No one is bothered at CI to update system to ensure it works on all platforms. VERY POOR SERVICE

Worst customer support ever.

Worst customer support ever.

Visited their website, because they are regulated UK broker. Wanted to know, if they offer MT4/MT5 Spread Betting account for Professional clients. Information nowhere to be found on the website.
I decided to call or chat with them. To my surprise, I found out that I cannot contact them at all, they are so busy that they don't offer ANY CONTACT whatsoever to non-clients.
So I created the account. Soon after, I received a welcome call from rep. I asked my questions and got the answer - they don't offer services I require. I left feedback to representative, that they should include information I needed on the website and do not block non-clients from contacting them when they need to ask for something, that's ridiculous. I asked representative to close my account, as I never needed it in the first place - they don't offer services I need.
Fast forward two weeks. My account is still active, I receive newsletters.
In March, I asked them on e-mail to close my account. Nothing.
I asked again in April. Nothing.
I just sent them third e-mail, asking to close my account. I don't expect miracles.

WORST possible customer support I've seen so far from FCA regulated broker.
I can't even imagine what would it be like if I had a REAL problem as a customer, for example issue with a deposit or withdrawal.

EDIT: Thanks for your reply below. Indeed I can see now that telephone number and Live Chat is available for logged out, non-clients. That's a progress.

Very bad experience

The firm has disconnected the (verified) bank account from my account, and I cannot withdraw funds. It took 2.5 weeks to reply to a simple email, and the response is unintelligible.
I am very concerned about this company.

Thank you for your review. We are disappointed you have not had a pleasant experience with City Index.

While we strive to make our withdrawal process as seamless as possible, we must balance this with our duty as a regulated firm to verify details under the “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) guidelines set forth by our regulator. We are required to withdraw the funds back to the exact same personal bank account used to fund your trading account.

Our withdrawal process is as follows: deposited funds must be returned to the originating source. Excess funds, or profits, may be withdrawn via bank transfer or wire. If you add a new bank account to withdraw excess funds, we are required to validate ownership of the account by requesting a bank statement.

If you are still encountering some difficulties, please reach out to us by call, chat, or email and one of our client support team members will help you resolve the case. Our support email is support@cityindex.com and you can also call us directly toll-free: 1.877.367.3946.
