Hi  - I've just had a bit of a think on this, and I must admit I don't necessarily see the point of the service for IG clients?

 

From an our side point of view, me to you without any formal reply from IG: Maybe I am missing something, or maybe this would be more useful for smaller, less reputable brokers who aren't regulated to the same high standards as set out by the FCA and other regulatory bodies, but what use is it? 

 

FX is an inherently OTC offering, and in IG's case we gain liquidity from a number of the worlds largest international banks. Although we do not disclose who they are, you would certainly know them to be key players. It is also in our interest (and others) to provide the tightest possible spread and the best fill on trades. Furthermore because the offering is OTC, the price we pass on is the best one we can get at the time which is representative of the underlying spot FX market and liquidity we receive. If on the odd occasion there is a different provider who quotes a price, it can mean a number of things (but not necessarily that its a truly better price). 

 

  • We may not have that particular OTC liquidity provider 
  • The price of the 'best' provider may not actually be representative of the market on that tick, but rather simply the slowest price.

You can watch more on our pricing methods below (FX starts at the 2 minute mark). Maybe I've missed the point or missed the point of the problem this solves, so would love a greater run down on the use of this and why you'd think it was advantageous? Looking forwards to a good discussion on this and pricing and execution is an imperative part of our business, and client input is always greatly received.

Thanks for the reply ,  Autochartist were very quick off the mark with the news of acquisition one day and an email out to clients and clients of affiliates? the next. I think I must have given them my email address at some time but it was the first I had heard from them for years. Also, in the blurb were a lot of mentions of MiFID II and ESMA  new regulations and I was really just wondering if this was sanctioned by IG (which would have surprised me) and if IG had signed up to the broker section of the offering. I have my answer.

    • 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.

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.

    • 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.
    • I am anticipating the impact of this listing on Mongy.
