IG US Startup


Recommended Posts

That's right @TrendFollower,  FXCM never really recovered after being badly damaged by when the Swiss bank removed the dollar peg catching out brokers and traders alike. FXCM lost their US licence and needed a financial bail out but I noticed recently the company that provided the bail out are now themselves in financial trouble.

So IG has snapped up DailyFX (which was previously associated with FXCM) and are now slipping into FXCM's shoes. They were a relatively large US broker so the market is promising.

@TrendFollower,  not sure there would be any benefits for FX trading, @elle was interested in US stock options which are not currently available.

US FX $10/point min,  ave spread 0.9,  margin 2% for eurusd and 5% for gbpusd.

also given the relatively recent options view in spread betting on the other assets, it's not wholly unrealistic that shares opotions aren't on the cards somewhere

Interesting. Always wondered why they never target this space. I would go in with a full options offering as well! You go in stock twits etc and every American is talking about options and calls and puts etc. I think it’s necause of regs around otc companies like IG but if that’s the case why did fxcm do it? 

IG are near 30% smaller spreads! Wonder what that’ll do to their competitors over there...

    • Hi again, Finally is even IG Europe integrated with TradingView! Thank you @IG.  Is there any way to change between live and demo account?
    • His mention of C3.ai, with its focus on predictive maintenance and smart meter management, highlights how AI isn't just improving operational efficiency but also creating new growth opportunities. Anderson also points to Microsoft’s AI-enhanced cloud services as another example of AI setting the stage for future business models. For investors, it’s less about immediate profitability and more about the long-term potential of AI.
    • XRP supporters have noticed a significant shift in the cryptocurrency's price following the SEC’s recent legal actions. As the situation unfolds, understanding these dynamics is crucial for investors. SEC’s Appeal: A Shock to the Market On Thursday, the U.S. SEC announced its intention to appeal favorable rulings from the Ripple lawsuit that concluded a few months ago. By Friday, this intention became official as the SEC submitted applications to the U.S. appellate court. This news sent shockwaves through the XRP market, leading many investors to sell off their tokens, which caused the price to drop sharply. XRP’s Recent Price Movements Price Drop After the SEC Announcement On October 2, just before the SEC’s appeal news broke, XRP reached an intraday high of $0.6058. However, by October 3, the price plummeted to $0.5101, marking a 15.79% decrease. Interestingly, despite the SEC's appeal being registered on October 4, XRP showed signs of recovery.  As of writing this article XRP Price was trading at 0.54 With 1.375 increase in last 24 hours as per Coinpedia markets data For a more detailed analysis of XRP's potential price trajectory, be sure to check out our comprehensive XRP price prediction article. Comparing the 2020 Lawsuit Impact In December 2020, the situation was markedly different. When the SEC initially filed its lawsuit against Ripple, XRP's price dropped dramatically. On December 20, XRP was valued at $0.5678, but by December 23, following the lawsuit announcement, it had plummeted to $0.2214, a staggering 61% decline. The situation worsened as more exchanges began delisting XRP. By December 29, the price had fallen to $0.1748, nearly 70% lower than its pre-lawsuit price. Resilience and Future Predictions Despite the recent turmoil, XRP’s ability to recover has sparked optimism among its supporters. Some market analysts, including Bobby A, believe that the current legal developments may present a “sell trap.” He predicts XRP could reach $4.23 soon, emphasizing that macro charts remain bullish. Furthermore, there are suggestions that XRP could potentially rise to $6 in the near future. After hitting a low of $0.17 during the 2020 lawsuit, XRP surged by 1,021% to $1.96 by April 2021. If a similar rally occurs from the recent low of $0.5101, it could see prices climbing as high as $5.72, with the possibility of reaching $6 by January. As the SEC's legal actions continue to unfold, XRP's resilience offers hope for future price rallies. Investors are encouraged to stay informed about market developments.
