I have only checked the demo-account which does not return margin for fully hedged positions, but understand this is the case with a Live Account. 

Hi there, thank you for contacting us. Are you trading on your ZAR demo account? If you open the same size under the same market, it should return a portion of your margin as you are hedged. 

Please end a screenshot, we will escalate further. All the best, OfentseIG

Hello again, so there is no way to trade US indices with an account that has margin offset?

 

Hi @kifliki2

Thank you for reaching out. We only offer SA40 on domestic accounts that have margin offset. Unfortunately the IG International account does not have margin offset as it is under ESMA regulation. 

All the best, O.D

Hi @kifliki2

That is correct. 

Different regions have different products offered due to their account specific regulations. 

However, IG Europe is under ESMA and if the client is a retail client and not Pro, the client would not have margin offset when trading US Indices. IG Australia accounts are Non-ESMA so would have margin offset to trade US indices. These markets are offered in their region. Thanks, OfentseIG

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
