Got a Share Trading Account - How to trade in CFDs


Guest Edmund

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have been doing share trading in my IG account. However, I wanted to try out CFDs (Options) but it seems that my current account

only is for trading in shares and not CFDs. 

I tried creating a CFD account but I couldn't see any option for it. It just gives an option to open a share trading account.

If CFD trading is a separate account, how do I open one and is there a minimum for opening a CFD account? 

Thanks!

Hi Edmund

Thanks for reaching out, 

The option to add a CFD account should be available from the dashboard of the My IG page on the web based platform. If a CFD account is not one of the available options, it may mean that you did not satisfy the requirements for trading on a leverage account at application stage. We would usually require a certain level of wealth and trading experience before you would be considered for leverage. If there has been some time since your initial application you can email helpdesk.au@ig.com to request a paper based application form. 

All the best

    • The crypto market appears to be showing signs of recovery, with significant improvements in the Sharpe Ratios of Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum, according to an article published on Friday.  The Sharpe Ratio, a measure used to understand the return of an investment compared to its risk, has seen a notable increase for both cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's Sharpe Ratio has risen from -2.4 to 0.68, while Ethereum and BGB have also experienced a similar uptrend. This change signifies higher returns at lower risk, which is expected to attract more investors to the crypto market. In addition to the improved Sharpe Ratios, increased network activity and trading volume as shown on CEXs like Bitget, Binance, and a few DEXs are suggesting a healthier market state. The current trading prices of Bitcoin, reflect this overall positive market sentiment. As of Friday, Bitcoin was trading at $27,069.73, BGB at $0.454 and Ethereum at $1,677.89. These developments are significant as they indicate reduced risk in the crypto market. The increase in the Sharpe Ratios for Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum suggests that these cryptocurrencies are becoming less risky investments, which could potentially lead to an influx of new investors into the market.  Could this rise in Sharpe Ratios coupled with increased network activity and trading volume point towards a recovering and less risky crypto market?
