IG is busy annoying me

Question

Guest MisterK

Having traded Oil for £0.25/pt since the margins changed a few weeks ago they have changed the size yesterday to £1/pt WITHOUT any prior notice or communications. I know that I am most probably the smallest fish in their tank but a bit of common decency from them wouldn't go amiss and will be looking at to move my account to a competitor soon.

Cheers

@JamesIG due to personal circumstances I am not allowed to have a Spreadbetting account and can only trade in a CFD account . I have logged a call and had a few emails from IG but nothing has been resolved so far.

I've just checked and can see that you should now be able to get 0.25 of a £1 contract (i.e. the equivalent of 25p per point movement) on both Brent and US Crude oil. 

I believe this should have resolved your issue and brought those minimums back in line. 

EDIT: it also looks like we have resolved the instance of UK clients having EUR contracts on their accounts. Let me know if this isn't the case.

Hi - let me just look into this for you. If any other clients are experiencing this please let me know by adding a comment below.

Put simply, a UK CFD clients shouldn't have access to Euro denominations. Whilst you can change this via the following drop down, there should be consistency between the minimums. We'll investigate this but as above - any additional accounts would be useful. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    • Arguably, the first principle is Do Your Own Research (DYOR). Though this is not to say that “invest what you can afford to lose" is any less important yah. Aside from FA, I also use TA when I want to DCA in on any project and I also pay attention to the tokenomics. Lastly. timing is important, so i like to be an early bird in any projected im interested in. Thats why i keep up with Bitget exchange cos they are timely in listing projects yah.
    • Interesting, seems like a good avenue to increase my equity so how can i participate in the campaign?
    • Dive into DAX's record-breaking run, fuelled by Eurozone inflation easing. Explore market dynamics, technical analysis, and potential risks.   Source: Bloomberg   Indices Inflation DAX Eurozone Technical analysis Interest  Tony Sycamore | Market Analyst, Australia | Publication date: Tuesday 05 December 2023 05:46 Last week marked a historic fifth consecutive gain for the DAX, echoing patterns not seen since October 2022. The DAX’s gains last week were supported by a Eurozone inflation report, which showed inflation eased to 2.4% in November, its lowest level since July 2021. Core inflation fell to 3.6% in November from 4.2% in October. With disinflation in Europe playing out much like in the US, it's no surprise that the European interest rate curve is pricing in five 25bp ECB rate cuts by the end of 2024. The UK rates market isn’t quite as excited about BoE rate cuts. Although headline inflation has fallen from 10.7% to 4.6% last month, core inflation at 5.7% is still too high. This explains why the UK rates market is pricing in just two and a half BoE rate cuts in 2024. The contrasting inflation and interest rate outlook between the Eurozone and the UK helps to explain why the DAX gained 9.41% in November while the FTSE gained only 1.8% during the same time. FTSE daily chart   DAX technical analysis Like its US counterpart, the S&P 500, the DAX has gotten very close, but thus far, failed to break above its year-to-date highs. As viewed on the RSI, the DAX is at extremely overbought levels, and while we remain bullish into year-end, we would not contemplate opening fresh longs at these levels. Instead, we would prefer to use dips back towards support at 16,100/16,000, looking for the DAX to retest and break above the 16,615 July high in the weeks ahead. Aware that a sustained break below the support of the 200-day moving average at 15782 would warn that the rally has run its course and that a deeper pullback is underway.
