Hi , this is because of an Apple App Store policy change meaning we are unable to offer our app in your country.

 

We are working on a browser based mobile app which will allow you to trade on mobile, which should be released in coming months.

 

In the meantime you would need to use an Android device or if you launch our new platform via Safari (or most browsers) on iPad this should work. Keep in mind it is meant to be used on desktop though so isn't optimised for mobile.

 

Cheers,

 

Will

hello,

mobile trading apps might not be available in your location – but if you can’t download our app, you can still use the online platform to trade.

To control your risk, guaranteed stop losses are available. They are an optional feature that needs to be manually selected unless your account includes them automatically. They are also subject to an additional charge if triggered.\

regards

rachel

    • @FrancoisT, even if there are no trades happening, evolving market conditions make market participants modify the price they're willing to sell or buy a certain symbol at, i.e. they re-quote bid/ask. Ultimately, when you're trading a centralized exchange-traded instrument (e.g. AAPL non-CFD stock) you can have access to both trades and bid-ask quotes, though not all platforms provide all three. When you're trading a non-centralized instrument (e.g. FOREX), by design trades are not reported to some central entity so you can only see bid-ask quotes and not trades as showing trades only from your broker's liquidity providers would not be representative of the whole market. Usually for FOREX, count of re-quotes is shown in place of volume as an indirect indicator of the volume. When you're trading a CFD (like at IG), even if it's of a centralized exchange-traded instrument, showing trades makes little sense. Showing trades from the exchange would be factually wrong - the CFD highly correlates but does not equal to the underlying instrument on the exchange. Showing trades from the broker (e.g. IG) platform only would capture very small volume and would not be representative of the whole market.
    • @Franswa38, if I'm not mistaken, on your photo you're pointing at April 17 22:45 BST 15 minute ask candle. If I'm not mistaken, at that point in time, EUR/USD bid-ask spread was around 0.00050. If you are basing your 42 pips in profit on the demonstrated ask graph, you're ignoring the spread you will have to pay to close long position - you will sell using bid, not ask price. If you subtract ~0.00050 spread from 42 pips you think you're in profit, $9.28 makes much more sense. In short, to monitor the profit on a long position you need to look at the bid, not ask graph. For that, click on the "Ask" text near "15 Mins" and choose "Bid". You should use ask graph only when you're opening long position, not when you're monitoring it.   P. S. From the photo alone, I would imply the bid price was where the horizontal blue line is, much lower than the ask price you're pointing at.
    • Yes I agree Guru, giving current examples is a good way of doing it! I have been trading for over 20 years and in the last 11 years I found myself mainly trading DAX (Germany) 40, because it is the easiest and most profitable. Which market do you find easiest to trade, Guru? Does anybody else find DAX easier to trade than other markets?  I am interested in hearing other traders' experiences.
