Wrong margin requirements on MT4 SB?

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

    • Hi @CharlotteIG I sold my last shares on Monday this week and they have still not settled.  Could you take a look please?  Thanks.
    • From the investor's perspective it seems a fantastic idea but I don't think it could happen. Even if it happens, it would be like a gimmick in which they reduce your own money from investment and then add them back and show them as if it's the interest on your original investment. Crypto is not meant to be a stable investment option and it seems very unlikely that such a thing could be possible. I don't have too much knowledge of economics but I can say that such a thing is not feasible.
    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend Mode - Impulse Structure - Impulse wave Position -Wave 4 Direction - Wave 5 Details - Wave 5 still struggles around the Fibonacci support zone. A diagonal seems to be developing for blue wave ‘c’ of 4. Still needs a sharp break out of the diagonal for wave 5 to begin. Invalidation remains at 2245.17. Gold’s price trajectory stands as a resolute testament to bullish sentiment, with a clear resurgence in the long-term uptrend since its nadir in September 2024, bottoming out at 1616. Since this pivotal low, the precious metal has demonstrated remarkable resilience, marking a gain exceeding 40%. Yet, a correction in this bullish trajectory commenced on April 12, 2024. Noteworthy is the corrective nature of this pullback, hinting that it is merely a transient pause before the commodity recommences its ascent to new highs.   Delving into the daily chart through an Elliott wave lens, the 1616 bottom signifies the completion of the supercycle degree wave (IV). The ensuing rally represents wave (V) of the same degree, unfolding in an impulse fashion. The initiation of wave III of (IV) from the October 2023 low at 1810 has progressed in a robust impulse, presently navigating the intermediate wave (3) within primary wave 3 (blue circled). Therefore, ample runway remains before the culmination of wave (V). Simplifying our analysis, attention is best directed towards the intermediate wave (3), currently undergoing a corrective phase labeled as wave 4, projected to find support within the 2315.5-2246 Fibonacci zone.   Turning to the H4 chart, two potential corrective scenarios emerge:   1st Scenario   The first scenario illustrates a zigzag pattern originating from the 2432 peak. Here, blue wave ‘c’ completes an ending diagonal, with confirmation of bullish momentum anticipated at 2353 for the onset of wave 4. However, this diagonal would be invalidated if prices dip below 2258.9.   2nd Scenario   Conversely, the second scenario portrays a double zigzag structure unfolding from the 2432 peak, possibly extending to the 38.2-50% Fibonacci retracement range of wave 3 at 2246-2191 before wave 4 concludes and wave 5 initiates.   In summation, while Gold’s price trajectory remains bullish, it currently experiences a corrective setback. A breach above 2353 would favor the first scenario, whereas a breach below 2258.8 would nullify it, ushering in the second scenario, projected to find support within the 2246-2191 zone. After wave 4, the resumption of wave 5 should propel prices to fresh highs.         Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
