Struggling to deal stock and etfs - some advice please...


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, 

New to this site and investing in general. I want to buy into some ETF's but having a couple of issues.

The first is that I got a message after trying to buy an ETF that 'it was a complex product and that I didn't have access... does this make any sense to any one?

I am going to be investing rather than trading. Also where on the platform can you view the holdings of each ETF

I did try to buy some individual stocks the other day and each of my deals were rejected or unsuccessful. I am trying to find a simple video on here to see what I am doing wrong! 

Thank you

Hi,

So finally figured it out:

Firstly, fill in the US W-8BEN Form online to allow you to trade in US Stocks

Then call IG - there is an over the phone questionnaire which you can do which allows access to some US ETFs (not all)

You are likely a 'retail client' like I was, you can consider upgrading to a professional client if you meet the criteria - IG can email you the link when you call up

Finally, open spread beeting / CFD accounts - even if you are not planning on using them right away.

Doing all these things, seem to allow me to trade US ETFs within a Share dealing account from the UK.

 

Good Luck!

We see that VAS may have finished wave 2-grey, and wave 3-grey is unfolding to push higher.

Wave 3-grey is unfolding to push much higher, it is subdividing and has just completed wave ((i)),((ii))-navy, now wave ((iii))-navy is probably unfolding to push much higher. The push below 98.39 suggests that the entire wave ((ii))-navy is extending longer than expected, but the end result is still wave ((iii))-navy will continue to push higher afterwards.  Invalidation point: 98.39 ASX: V300AEQ ETF UNITS – VAS  Elliott Wave Technical Analysis TradingLounge (4-Hour Chart) ASX: V300AEQ ETF UNITS – VAS 4-Hour Chart Analysis Function: Major trend (Minute degree, navy)  Mode: Motive  Structure: Impulse  Position: Wave ((iii))-navy   Details: Wave ((i))-navy just completed as Five-waves, wave ((ii))-navy also seems to have completed as Zigzag at the 98.39 low.
