is there a reason I'm still getting charged commsion even though I'm making 3 trades a month?

@CharlotteIG..can you help with this please? I too seem to be charged full fees this morning on my Shares ISA despite making over 30 transactions in UK and US stocks last month? I am still on phone after over an hour..as I trade small considerations in multiple stocks it was the main reason I use IG. Thanks

Hi,

Do trades made in my Stocks and Shares ISA contribute towards the 3+ trades required to get the reduced commission of £3 for UK trades. I opened my ISA last month and made more than 3 trades, but was still charged £8 for my trades this morning.

Thanks

I have the same question too. Its been a bad enough start to my IG trading as it is after this week, i could do without the £470 extra daylight robbery lol

The prices of most the stocks are already higher than most other online brokers as it is you'd think that would be enough.

Can someone please explain? I'll be moving onto another broker if im having to pay these high fees

Sorry to hear people are having problems with this. As you wait for an IG reply, I can confirm that I have an ISA and my trading last month has automatically given me the £3 UK and free US commission rates this month. I don't think the charges info on the IG website is clear enough but my understanding is that ONLY UK share trades count towards the 3 trades needed to qualify for lowest commission the following month. So, is it possible that either of you have traded mostly US shares and not met the 3 UK trade minimum? Just a thought, which I hope might shed some light. If not, I trust IG staff will respond soon. They do let themselves down sometimes with slow replies to client queries.

So strange how people are having different experiences with what must surely be an automated and fairly straightforward system built into IG's share-dealing platform. Eager to hear their response in case the same happens to me next month!

Update.  I got through to customer support and there was an issue between 30th April and 1st May with the automated script that updates accounts.  So IG are aware of the issue and are fixing it.  The accounts should be upgraded next week and we will be refunded any commission paid over £3 on 1st May.

Bpcue did share on the forum yesterday a reply they had from IG on this very issue (see pic below). It seems IG are having problems with the automated system and are working on a fix.

This is wrong, I checked with support before I started trading - all share trades count regardless of region. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether CFD Equity trades count towards Share trades and vice  versa or not. I've asked the question but haven't had a reply yet.

I am in same situation.  Still being charged full price not the £3 promised on signing up.  I traded a lot last month and made plenty of trades.  No answer from IG by email and just kept on hold on the phone.

Same here.it charged £8 for commissions even I trade more than 3times uk stock in a month

 

There were issues with the UK reduced commission scheme. 

We're looking into refunding all clients that were not meant to be charged the larger rate. 

Going forward this issue should not happen again. 

All the best and apologies.

    • Sometimes, the complexities of the crypto space can be an obstacle in adoption but when DeFi options which users are acquainted with are presented, it breaks the ice and that is what Lista project seems to offering. Lista DAO is a decentralized stablecoin lending protocol designed for ease of use. Built on the BNB Chain, Lista offers users staking, liquid staking, and borrowing features with its lisUSD stablecoin by leveraging Proof-of-Stake (PoS). One key feature is liquid staking, where users can stake their assets and earn rewards while maintaining liquidity through liquid staking tokens (LSTs). Users can also borrow lisUSD against collateral and farm additional lisUSD for further yield generation. The protocol utilizes a dual token system (lisUSD and LISTA) to facilitate various functionalities like instant conversions, borrowing, and yield farming. The LISTA token listing is around the corner and their choice of CEX Bitget I believe will expose them to more communities and potential investors.
    • Copper Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter-Trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Zigzag Position -Wave 4 Direction - Wave 5 Details - It appears wave 4 has been completed but we need a confirmation above 4.686 with an impulse break. Otherwise, the price could make a minor corrective bounce below the confirmation level and falter further. Copper prices are reversing upward, recovering from the sell-off that began on May 20, 2024. The broader picture indicates that this sell-off is a correction within the larger bullish cycle that started in October 2023. The current recovery, which began on June 18, 2024, has the potential to rise further and possibly break the high from May 20, 2024.   Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, a bullish impulse wave has been developing since July 2022, when copper hit a low of $3.13. This impulse wave is currently in wave (3). Specifically, wave 3 of (3) concluded at $5.192, and wave 4 of (3) likely ended at the low on June 18. We can anticipate copper prices to recover into wave 5, completing wave (3) above $5.192 before the next pullback for wave (4) occurs. The invalidation level for this wave count is at $3.975.   H4 Chart Analysis: On the H4 chart, wave 4 appears as a double zigzag pattern. Wave a (circled) of 4 ended with an impulse structure, while wave c (circled) concluded with an ending diagonal pattern. A bullish confirmation would occur if the price breaches $4.686 with an impulse wave, indicating a strong likelihood of further recovery.   Alternative Scenario: Alternatively, the decline on the H4 chart could be interpreted as an impulse wave. If this is the case, the current bullish recovery remains valid. However, we would not see a breach of the $5.192 high before the price resumes its downward movement to break below $4.379. Therefore, in both scenarios, copper prices are expected to maintain their current recovery to at least the $4.69-$4.788 range in the near term.   Summary: Copper has been recovering from the sell-off that started on May 20, 2024, within the context of a larger bullish cycle that began in October 2023. On the daily chart, a bullish impulse wave has been forming since July 2022, with wave 3 of (3) completing at $5.192 and wave 4 of (3) likely concluding at the June 18 low. The price is expected to rise into wave 5, surpassing $5.192 before the next pullback for wave (4). The invalidation level for this wave count is at $3.975.   On the H4 chart, wave 4 is identified as a double zigzag, with wave a (circled) ending in an impulse and wave c (circled) in an ending diagonal. Bullish confirmation would be a break above $4.686 with an impulse wave, signaling further recovery.    Alternatively, if the decline is an impulse wave, the bullish recovery is still valid but without breaching $5.192 before dropping below $4.379. In either scenario, copper prices are likely to continue recovering to the $4.69-$4.788 range in the near term. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
