Yes I have done that. Something about professional trader?

ok, you probably don't want to register as a professional trader. Something rings a bell but can't remember. let me get back to this thread, if not prompt again on Monday when there may be IG staff around.

yes, not sure, as said rings a bell but can't remember, it may be something simple like needing to do a first trade person to person via the dealing desk, will come back.

I tried to buy the UFO etf but there's something about EU or US law which says that without a published KID/KIID document as an EU citizen you cannot buy those instruments. Whether the same applies to spreadbetting those etfs am not sure...

@Arindom Did you manage to sort the US ETF issue out? I have the same problem and I have reached out to help centre, filled in the form online but still can't get US ETFs. I joined IG to invest in ETFs

Has this been sorted out? Can a UK resident buy US ETFs?

 

Hi @Farmer2 

Thanks for reaching out. US ETFs are still not available for retail clients. 

We would also like to draw your attention to the Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the PRIIPs) regulation states that all retail clients must be provided with a Key Information Document (KID) prior to the purchase on any security (PRIIP) within the scope of the regulation. This regulation would prevent you from buying any US or foreign denominated ETF. As this ETF is listed on the NYSE exchange, you would not be able to purchase it with IG. 
This regulation covers (inter alia):

•    Foreign Exchange (FX) Transactions 
•    Over The Counter Derivatives 
•    Exchange Traded Derivatives (including ETFs , ETCs & ETNs)


A KID must be provided to all European retail clients. UK retail clients remain subject to these rules at this time.

All the best, 

OfentseIG

    • Hello everyone, At 03h30 UTC there was a bump on AUD/USD because of the Cash Rate data release. I was supposed to enjoy the ride thrue an API call, but my orders were rejected with the reason "ATTACHED_ORDER_LEVEL_ERROR". My working orders entries were 0.66112 and 0.66032. From the time i started to send the order until the rejection, the tick prices were: BID: 0.66042 | OFFER: 0.66102 <sending> BID: 0.66038 | OFFER: 0.66098 BID: 0.66040 | OFFER: 0.66100 <rejection> Can someone explain me how IG decides when to send this error ? I would like to anticipate it. Is it because the spread was at 6pips ?
