Point value query


Recommended Posts

Hi all, have called IG twice today, after waiting for half hour each time I was cut off, very poor. Hoping to have better luck getting an answer to my query here...

 

What do IG consider to be a point? If I look at a share that is say 4p and for arguments sake lets say I think it will go to 5p and I want to make £1,000. I am trying to work out whether I bet £1,000 per point or whether it should be £100 per point for example. Does that make sense? It will depend on what IG consider to be 1 point i.e. if they consider it to be 1 full pence or whether they consider it to be 0.1p for example. Hope my query make sense. Any help greatly appreciated

Hi @Starpunch

Thanks for the query. 

Apologies that you were not able to get through to the helpdesk. 

In spread betting all stocks are displayed such that the point movement is to the left of the decimal point. This is the equivalent of 1p for UK stocks. Therefore in your example the bet size would need to GBP1000 per point to make GBP1000 in a 1p price movement. 

All the best, 

Anda

    • The Ethereum network, while groundbreaking, has faced well-documented scalability challenges. To address these limitations, a plethora of layer-2 solutions have emerged, each with its unique approach to improving transaction throughput and reducing fees. Many projects, such as Optimism and Arbitrum, have made strides in reducing fees and improving transaction speeds, yet Zircuit, promising new entrant in the zk-rollup space, employs a hybrid architecture that combines these attributes with strong security protocols at the sequencer level. Zircuit, backed by funding from industry giants like Binance Lab and Pantera etc, leverages the latest advancements in zero-knowledge proof technology to offer a high-performance, low-cost, and secure solution. They have since unveiled Mainnet Phase 1 and enabled $ZRC token claims for early adopters.  Moving forward, Zircuit has achieved considerable success, hitting a peak TVL of $3.7 billion. it will be interesting to see how Zircuit perform on both it's $ZRC pre-market sales on Bitget and also if ZK rollups ultimately become the dominant scaling solution for Ethereum?
    • Ever noticed how Telegram's becoming the new arcade? It's wild! These mini games are popping up everywhere, and they're not just your usual candy-crushing stuff. Take RoOLZ for example - it's this cool anime-style game that's got me hooked, especially if you're into shows like Demon Slayer or Attack on Titan like I am. What makes it interesting is how it's different from regular mobile games. You're not just playing alone, there's this whole community thing going on. Plus, you get to own cool digital collectibles from your favorite anime scenes. It's like having trading cards, but for the digital age! Think of it as having a tiny pocket sized anime world where you can play, collect stuff, and maybe even earn some tokens while you're at it. Those tokens earned; $GODL are totally transferable to exchanges.  Bitget even has a zero gas fee event on your deposit. Sure, some people are in it hoping to make a fortune with telegram mini games, but let's be real, the best way to enjoy these games is to just have fun! My suggestion: If you're jumping in on any telegram game, do it for the fun first.  What do you think? Have you tried any Telegram mini games yet?
    • Stumbled onto $weETH recently, and it’s got me thinking. It’s more than just staking ETH for rewards weETH also restakes automatically in EigenLayer, so you’re maximizing yield without extra effort. What really caught my eye, though, is how they’ve designed it to keep everything in your control with non-custodial staking.  Add in some perks like loyalty points and compatibility with DeFi protocols on Arbitrum and Polygon, and it’s set up to go beyond the usual staking.  Anyone else looking at $weETH? Worth it, or just another token in the mix?
