The share I am looking at is Correvio Pharma Corporation

Just had a look at this one and can see the MCap is $85m which is unfortunately short of our 250m requirement for American equities (i.e. is is too illiquid and has a small market cap to offer on leverage trading accounts). 

You can however own this stock outright via a share dealing account.

Hi, it can be for a number of reasons, it may be that IG has reached max exposure as per their risk management or that the size of the company has reduced to under the IG min threshold and will take it off the platform once those holding positions have closed out. If you tell us the name of the company someone from IG may be able to provide more info.

Anyone knows what's with the German Bund, it says "Closing only: Market unavailable to open"?

To price undated commodities we need 2 liquid futures. With bonds, virtually 100% of the liquidity is in the front month contract. We don’t offer any other undated bonds, but in the past the back month of the Bund has had  enough liquidity to make offering an undated product viable.

This is no longer the case - therefore we can no longer price the undated reliably. The undated contract will remain online so long as clients have open positions and we have no plans to force people out.

We'll continue to offer the dated forward contracts (which you can see in the screenshot below). 

Any questions please ask.

All the best,

Ludwik

I also wanted to trade UONE but couldn't. I guess it must be for the reason above by Casey that it is below the 250m threshold. That was over a year ago that was written though but I can't find any info as to whether or not it is still the case. And is that in $ or £? 

Also it seems we can only trade 'All Sessions' US stocks pre-market and AMC as opposed to others that are open pre-market and AMC etc.

I guess you're trying out day trading right? I am starting to wonder if IG is the right option for day trading

yes I’m looking into day trading. Quick in and out inter-day trading. 

I’ve been looking into my opinions on how to trade theses US stocks as I’ve been missing out on how volatile the US market has been over this last month. 

the only way you can trade US stocks like UONE with IG is by using the shear dealer account. I traded a couple of US stocks on Friday and all seemed ok. 

however there is commition charges on shear dealing. I believe £10. I think £10 to open a position and £10 to close a position. But I think it’s the case if you place more than 3 trades in one day. There are no commition charges (in shear dealing) if I’ve got this wrong please do let me know (thanks)

From what I understand you can’t use Pro Real Time charts along side Shear Dealing. So you need to use the IG platform software, which I found to be not as user friendly as Pro Real Time (but will just take a bit of time to learn)

if anyone has a link on how the shear dealing works or how to set up charts on the IG shear dealer platform I would very much appreciated any info. 

in regards to is IG the right platform for day trading, I feel one is more than able to day trade with IG, as I’ve been day trading Oil and the Dow over the last 6 months, but I feel there is a big opportunity to trade US stocks with IG   (I am still louring however) I have come to understand that no UK broker provide Level 2 dater/ market depth for (US stocks) Which I understand is very important for day trading stocks. This may trump one who is trying to trade US stocks like UONE (Again if anyone know anything or could give some feedback on this I would be most grateful)

You May be interested: I follow a US trader call Ross Cameron from warrior trading. He has a YouTube video and sells a years course should you wish to look into this. I’ve not signed up for it myself as it around $2999. But I would like to one day soon. His YouTube channel does give a good insite into his trades and however he finds the volatile stocks each morning (using trade idears). Def worth a look!

hope some of this helps. 

again if anyone could give some incite into Shear Dealing or day trading the US open on IG I would very much appreciated it. 

thanks

Hi again

Well I only really use the Spread Betting platform because of the leverage and also no commission, no taxes etc. I used to use the CFD platform until I discovered Spread Betting.

The share dealing platform is 2 cents per share OR minimum $15, whichever is more so penny stocks commission could mount up.   

I thought Pro had Level 2 no? I was going to get it on the 1st July. I hope it has VWAP too?

I mostly just watch videos by either 'Boiler Room' or 'Investor's Underground'. Boiler room is very good and he just tells you everything you need to know. Investors underground are also good but they only go so far and the rest they put on their 2 DVDs which cost about $1000! So I have not bought them. I follow them on Twitter etc and always trade their free Sunday scans. They have their own chatroom where they give out free scans each day; you can learn from their experienced traders... lots of other benefits. That costs around £200 per month. I am *thinking*about doing that... I am dubious about these courses though. 3 grand is a lot but if you have done your research then maybe

    • Shiba Inu (SHIB) experienced an extraordinary surge in January 2021, skyrocketing by 45,131%. Despite its fall from an all-time high of $0.00008845 in October 2021, data from Coinpedia Markets shows SHIB is still up by a staggering 1,028,241% from its launch price in August 2020. As of Writing Shiba Inu was trading at  0.00001308 With 1.21% Loss in the Last 24 Hours  In recent months, Shiba Inu, like many other cryptocurrencies, has been in bearish territory. However, this hasn’t dampened investor enthusiasm. According to CoinMarketCap, 80% of Shiba Inu community members remain bullish on the token’s future. Positive Sentiment and Breakout Predictions Shiba Inu’s community remains optimistic, with several analysts predicting an imminent breakout. One analyst noted the contraction of SHIB’s Bollinger Bands as a signal of potential price movement. Trader Dexter recently forecasted that Shiba Inu could reach a price of $0.00015, sparking further interest in the token. Potential Returns on Shiba Inu Investment Although some argue that SHIB may not replicate its 2021 rally, even a fraction of that growth could result in substantial gains. Let’s break down potential returns from an investment of $1,000 at different growth rates. At SHIB’s current price of $0.0000138, a $1,000 investment would buy 72,463,768 tokens. If SHIB rises by 1,000%, the price would jump to $0.0001518, turning a $1,000 investment into $11,000. A 10,000% increase would take SHIB’s price to $0.001393, yielding $100,999 on a $1,000 investment. Shiba Inu may have seen ups and downs, but its community remains optimistic about its future. With potential breakouts on the horizon and the possibility of significant returns, SHIB continues to be a token worth watching in the crypto market.
    • Over the past year and a half, Tron (TRX) has shown impressive growth, with its value increasing by 80% despite some market corrections. Here’s a quick breakdown of Tron’s price action and recent developments: Price Movement: TRX reached a high of $0.17 last month before retracing by 8%, finding support at $0.147. After some fluctuation, it currently sits in the $0.15 range, showing signs of a positive trend. Bullish Indicators: This week, TRX has posted gains, with increased trading volatility signaling a potential rebound. The daily chart suggests a “buy” signal, indicating a bullish impulsive phase may be starting. If this momentum continues, Tron coin could rise to $0.20 in the next few days. Stable Growth: Despite market ups and downs, Tron has been relatively steady, thanks to its strong DeFi ecosystem, efficient DApps, and fast transaction times. These factors help TRX remain competitive, even as new players enter the market. Justin Sun Challenges Coinbase Over PoR Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, has been vocal in his criticism of Coinbase’s approach to Proof-of-Reserve (PoR). Here's what's happening: PoR Debate: Sun expressed confusion over Coinbase’s refusal to adopt PoR, especially after the exchange launched its cbBTC product. Sun pointed out that major exchanges like Binance have embraced PoR, questioning why Coinbase considers it “unfeasible.” Transparency Concerns: Sun emphasized that the crypto community isn’t asking for perfection but simply for more transparency. He believes that revealing wallet addresses is a simple task that can foster trust within the industry, especially in the wake of the FTX collapse. Trust Issues: Sun also raised concerns about relying solely on audit firms for security, stating that being a public company doesn’t guarantee protection from bankruptcy. He mentioned the collapse of Signature Bank as an example, highlighting the need for self-regulation in the crypto space. Tron’s Long-Term Potential Looking ahead, Tron continues to show promise as a long-term investment. Its strong developer base and wide range of applications, from games to entertainment, make it an attractive option in the competitive cryptocurrency landscape. With Justin Sun pushing for more transparency and the continued development of Tron’s ecosystem, TRX remains one of the few cryptocurrencies trading steadily and positioned for future growth.
