HI, Please if any IG supporting staff can answer the questions below? 1. in the upcoming AMC/APE vote on 14 March 2023, can shareholder that hold AMC and APE at IG able to make a vote? I also have AMC and APE at IBKR and they did send out a notification to inform me that I can do proxy vote. Will IG do the same? 2. the upcoming vote is to determine APE covert back to AMC then do reverse spilt. Last year after APE issued, IG staff told me that they have to move APE to share dealing account from my ISA account as ISA is not eligible to hold APE (which is completely unbelivable, my APE at AJ Bell and HL are still sitting in ISA account). Anyway, if the conversion and reverse spilt is going to happen, will IG move my APE back to ISA account for the corporate action? Many Thanks -
The epidemic in recent years has produced profound changes in people's lifestyles, and many of their activities have started to be developed in the virtual world, which plays an important role in promoting the development of the universe of meta. Games, as an important part of the universe of meta, will be the first industry to gain the benefits , but the following conditions are still indispensable for blockchain games to achieve better development. - Wallets and Exchanges. Through the use of wallets, game users can truly take control of the assets in the game, and exchanges provide a trading platform and liquidity for these game assets NFT, helping users trade and revitalize their game assets. Wallets are a key application for depositing blockchain assets. Currently, wallets such as Metamask are not enough to support the extensive adoption of block games, and wallets will further advance community drive the popularity of blockchain games. - Game playability. The biggest difference between blockchain games and traditional games is that gamers are also investors. Many blockchain games have gone out of course, treating all users as investors only and forgetting that the essence of making games is to develop high-quality games that users are interested in paying for. If most people play a game just to make money, and no one is ready to pay for it, it becomes a side-scam. The revenue of the participants of the side scam comes from the money of the people who come later, and if there are not enough people who come later, they will not be able to cash in the revenue, leading to the breakdown. - Speed and performance. A high level of concurrency is the characteristic of game applications, so Wax, Coinan Chain and Polygon, which are public chains with a high level of concurrency and low fees, have attracted a large number of game developers. In the future, with the maturity of technologies such as Ethernet Layer 2 and slice scaling, as well as the maturity of other gaming public chain technologies compatible with EVM, blockchain games will have a better development and operation environment. - Cross-chain and interaction. Cross-chain and interaction of game assets will be a direction of future development of metaverse games, and blockchain should be connected and accessible like the Internet. The maturity of cross-chain technology in the future will promote the cross-chain transfer of game assets and NFT, and improve the interaction experience of the system The game should maintain the operation of the project by relying on the payment of some users or selling profitable products, just like the new blockchain game Fairy Cat in 2023, which developed diverse gameplay for players and increased the playability of the game, thus got the recognition of many players. Blockchain games need to work hard on game experience and playability. Token economics is essentially just a kind of interest structure , and even good token economics cannot replace the development, operation and profitability of the project itself. It is believed that with the maturity of the above conditions, more and more game developers and investors will enter this industry and together promote the production of some blockchain games with beautiful graphics, first-class experience and high playability.

Hello, Is any interest paid on "available" cash (not "margin") in a spread betting account? For example, if I held £10k in an account and had no open positions. The reason for asking is that I understand that proceeds from short sales in a CFD will receive interest (benchmark-2.5%), so was wondering if that applied to all cash, and couldn't find an answer on the web site. Thanks.

Question
Guest Geremy
Hi Guys,
First post here, sorry if this is all just incorrect, but before I lodge a proper support ticket I just wanted to see if anyone from IG or the community could explain this to me.
I went long on the Volatility index 2 days ago, as it was at a low price and I was anticipating losses on the S&P 500.
When I was writing my trading plan I could not find anywhere on the IG website where is categorically stated that this Index was the VIX. So I rang IG to confirm and they emailed me in writing that it was "The VIX".
When I bought the price withing the next day I was down about $1000 USD which did not match my calculations.
I then noticed the difference in price between the IG product and other charts and index price data.
I rang and chatted to IG enquiring why the prices were different.
After discussing with someone on the phone we came to the conclusion it was because the data from IG is "Live" and what I was looking at was delayed by 15min. Ok awesome, problem solved. Use IG data.
Then yesterday I went Long again for similar money at an even lower price.
I have watched in anticipation as the S&P has fallen over 1% today and was expecting my Position to be just over 10k.
When it only breached 5k at 15 points I was very confused.
What I have now discovered is that the pricing mismatch on the live quote, while different by 15 minutes from the index price data available on the internet, was grossly different from the underlying index price.
I have gone back and done a comparison of the prices when I purchased and the prices as they are currently.
IG's price is currently UNDER-QUOTING the index price by approx 1%. Not fantastic in my opinion, but explainable by different data sources and aggregation points.
IG's price when I bought the stocks, were OVER-QUOTING by 14.8% and 19.8% respectively.
I have attached screenshots of all the pricing and my calculations. I'm simply not sure how I have missed out on my first large windfall with IG.
Sorry the calculations are a screenshot, I could not upload an Excel File.
Thanks
Geremy
