Stock pricing question?

From what I can read, IG charge a "setup" fee for new accounts? Say I setup a new account, make 100 US stock trades in the 1st month, I'm charged £1000. But in the next month if I make 100 US stock trades it's free?

So the best way to get around this is to take the £30 hit and only trade 3 shares in the 1st month?

Or am I wrong and it's actually £10 for the 1st 2 shares, then free thereafter in the 1st month?

I'm not sure, however I've never been charge for setting up an account. what you maybe getting charged for is data as there are different types of data feeds, there is also a platform fee for using ProRealTime as its a third party App.

Hi @GodAtum

Thanks for reaching out, we wouldn't call it a setup fee for new accounts because if at any point you make less than 3 trades in a month then you will go back to paying GBP10 per trade in the next month. You would then need to place at least 3 trades in that month to qualify for free commissions in the next month. However you are correct that in your first month you will be charged GBP10 per trade on US shares and need to place at least 3 trades to qualify for free commission for the next month. See the following link for more info: https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/share-dealing/costs-fees

All the best,

Hi @GodAtum

That depends on the account type, leverage yes. But for non-leverage this is not possible. You can make your share dealing a multi-currency account but in this case you lose the free commission benefit. 

All the best,

    • We've seen Web3 revolutionize finance, art, and ownership, but the full potential hasn't been tapped especially when it comes to AI. What if AI models and apps didn't belong to massive corporations but to the people building them? What if creators could actually connect, share, and monetize their AI innovations without gatekeepers? That's what KIP Protocol is setting out to do, and it's an idea that feels long overdue. KIP's structure is clever without being overly complicated. The Application Layer lets you turn your AI app into an ERC-3525 SFT, linking it directly to models and knowledge assets while tracking every interaction on the $KIP ledger. The Settlement Layer makes value transfer seamless, and the Ownership Layer ensures your data and knowledge are securely stored but still accessible for retrieval-augmented AI. It's decentralized, secure, and most importantly it’s built for creators, not just institutions. This is more than a protocol; it's a chance to redefine how AI works in the Web3 space. But then there is $KIP Listing Carnival on BingX where we get to share the 3,000,000 rewards up for grabs within six days. If you're into AI or Web3, this might just be your next move. 
    • Here's a price analysis for Magic Eden (ME) based the current hype around the token especially with Bitget and Binance Listing today   Current Price and Market Dynamics: Current Price: The $ME token is currently trading at around $9.02, with a recent increase of about +5.37% over the past 24 hours. This data reflects the price as of the latest update. Market Sentiment: There's a mix of optimism and caution around $ME. Some posts on X suggest that the token might be overvalued at its current price, with one user stating, "Magic Eden is heavily overvalued at $9 btw. Fair price is $0." However, there's also anticipation around events like the $ME airdrop, which seems to be fueling some positive market sentiment.   Short-Term Predictions: Airdrop Influence: The upcoming $ME airdrop has been a significant point of discussion. With the airdrop now live, there's an expectation of high selling pressure initially, which could lead to a price dip. However, following this, some analysts are optimistic about the price recovering and potentially surpassing $6-$7 within days after the initial sell-off.   Price Targets: Users on X have set various price targets post-airdrop, with one suggesting an initial profit-taking around the $125-$140 area for those who received the airdrop. Another prediction sees the price potentially reaching $10 within a couple of days of trading, with optimistic scenarios pushing to $15.    Long-Term Outlook: Market Cap and Liquidity: Given Magic Eden's position as a leading NFT marketplace and the introduction of its token across multiple exchanges, there's potential for increased liquidity and market cap growth. The token's integration into services like staking, rewards, and governance could further drive its value if adoption within the Magic Eden ecosystem grows. Fundamental Analysis: Magic Eden's expansion to multiple blockchains, user-friendly enhancements, and its robust community support are positive signs for long-term growth. However, the volatile nature of crypto markets, especially around significant events like airdrops, means investors should be prepared for both rapid gains and potential corrections. Risks and Challenges: The high initial selling pressure post-airdrop and the general market sentiment towards new tokens can be significant hurdles. Additionally, competition in the NFT marketplace sector and broader market conditions (like regulatory changes or shifts in crypto popularity) could affect $ME's price trajectory.   Conclusion: The $ME token shows signs of both immediate volatility due to the airdrop event and potential for growth based on Magic Eden's market position and expansion plans. Event like Poolx, and Candybomb campaigns on Bitget and various exchanges could have both positive and negative impact on the price but they offer a good opportunity for users to earn airdrops of the token. 
    • Came across AUSD recently, and I’m not entirely sure what to make of it yet. On one hand, it’s another 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, nothing groundbreaking there. But their approach feels like a shift from the usual. Instead of just being a product, it’s more like a framework where exchanges, dApps, and other ecosystem players drive its utility. That could be a double-edged sword: more adoption potential, but also less centralized control.   The interesting part is how they’re rolling it out. There’s a staking event on BingX starting December 12th, where users can earn a share of 150,000 AUSD by staking USDT or BTC. Not a bad way to get involved if you’re curious, especially with no upfront buying risk. It’ll be listed on BingX by the 17th, so the timing feels deliberate gathering some momentum before it officially hits the market.   Anyone else think this approach could either be genius or fall flat depending on how well their partners deliver?
