margins spread is too high for shares

[marston]

The spread that IG is taking is too high esp on Shares like Blue Prism - just not great platform

It probably is for scalping or inter-minute trades but there are plenty of good swing trading opportunities.

I agree, the spreads are too wide.   Is there a better platform out there?

IG used to brag about minimal spreads. Gold and Oil can be  up to 6.

that market isn't open so the data won't be right, check the time of the last H1 candle on the chart.

New trick from IG.

Notice that new this month.

When client deal with "All session" shares / US, they use huge floating spread before/after markets hours.

The normal are 2pps, not a 60pps, not a 100pps, or higher.

Sadly, the client can burn a lot of cash, because  huge floating spread before/after markets hours  ... but IG takes commissions for sure! 

Comparing that with other CFD where have open "All session" shares / US - IG leads with tricks!

This new policy not very pleasant!

Anyone met that too?

Thank you :)
