Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Question
fft
When entering trades using DMA on the L2 dealer platform, sometimes the trade does not appear in the order book - or only part of it does. The reason I was given by IG was
"With regards to IQE, only 8500 shares are shown on the LSE order book. This is because our smart order router functionality has automatically sent the remaining trade size across to multiple venues, starting with 'dark pools', in order to execute your trade in the best way. If you are using the L2 platform then you can untick the 'SOR' box and then your order will only be sent to the LSE (where you will see the order in its entirey)."
Which sounds fine, but I cant see the "SOR" box so that I can untick it and send the entire order to the LSE order book.
And, until the last year, I don't recall this happening and I have been using IG L2 for about 10 (?) years.
