Wrong margin requirements on MT4 SB?


neueneuen

Question

Hi @KoketsoIG,

I hope you are well.

Could you kindly ask the relevant team to check the margin requirements on MT4 spread betting accounts for USD/TRY, GBP/TRY, and EUR/TRY, please?

It looks like they're double what they are at CFD and non-MT4 SB for Tier 1, non-aligned for Tier 2, and less than for Tier 3 and 4. I doubt that was intentional.

Dear @neueneuen,

Thank you for your patience. 

Kindly check our MT4 product offering (available pairs) with their margin requirements and compare them against the requirements you see on MT4: https://www.ig.com/uk/help-and-support/spread-betting-and-cfds/products-markets-and-trading-hours/what-are-igs-forex-mt4-product-details 

On MT4, click on, right-click on the pairs, then select 'specifications'.

Please provide the screenshots of what you see on MT4 if applicable so the relevant team can be able to assist us.

Thanks,

KoketsoIG

Hello @KoketsoIG,

Thanks for getting back to me.

After further investigation, the situation is a little more strange than the margin requirements.

When you go to My IG Dashboard, IG MT4 SB accounts are listed there, but there is no "Open platform" link for them. If you click on the top-right drop-down menu with your full name and "My IG" under it, IG MT4 SB accounts are not listed there, only CFD and non-MT4 SB accounts.

However, if you open the web platform of one of the CFD or non-MT4 SB accounts, and from the web platform click on the top-right drop-down menu with your full name and "My IG" under it, IG MT4 SB accounts are now listed there. If you click on them, you go to regular IG web platform for an IG MT4 SB account! Among other symbols, USD/TRY, GBP/TRY, and EUR/TRY are available there with the wrong margin requirements.

That being said, if you log in into this IG MT4 SB account from MT4 platform, these symbols are not available. Also, they're not listed under the link you provided.

It seems that somehow IG inadvertently gave access to the IG MT4 SB via web platform and available symbols got messed up there.

Dera @neueneuen,

Thank you for clarifying.

Please note that you can access both the MT4 CFD and SB accounts from the MT4 platform itself, you will have to download MT4 and log in using your MT4 credentials: https://www.ig.com/uk/trading-platforms/metatrader-4/download-mt4 

The pairs mentioned are not available on MT4. 

The margin requirements for IG.com and MT4 are not the same, MT4 allows for trading smaller lot sizes you would not be able to trade on the IG platform.

All the best,

KoketsoIG

    • Recently, U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty from Tennessee spoke at the Bitcoin conference, stating his efforts to push for Bitcoin-supportive legislation to promote freedom and opportunity. This year, cryptocurrency has become a key battleground in the election campaigns. It remains to be seen whether future policies on cryptocurrency will improve.
    • The digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as attention, once a freely given commodity, is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset. Layer3 is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering a new economy where attention can be owned, traded, and monetized   This innovative approach empowers individuals to monetize their engagement, providing unprecedented control over personal data. Simultaneously, advertisers benefit from transparent metrics that optimize campaign performance. Content creators are presented with diverse revenue avenues beyond traditional advertising, while the overall ecosystem experiences a more equitable distribution of value.   The implications of Layer3 extend across various sectors. Social media platforms, for instance, can leverage this technology to revolutionize user engagement and monetization strategies. Tokenomics play a crucial role in driving Layer3's economy, incentivizing participation and rewarding value creation. While challenges such as data privacy and market volatility exist, the potential benefits of Layer3 are immense   Anticipation is building as its native token $L3 is on Bitget Pre-market as users await its listing on the exchange. This milestone is expected to significantly increase the token's visibility and accessibility, potentially driving substantial growth and attracting new investors. As the countdown begins, the crypto community watches with keen interest, eager to see how Layer3 will perform in this new chapter.
    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
