Are parameters such as stop loss and limits levels I set on a CFD stock trade confidential or can other people see what I've set?

Those on the dealing desk / trading services team will be able to see these, however other individuals in the OTC market (i.e. other clients of IG) will not be able to.

We take the underlying exchange and liquidity providers price and feed them into the platform (with our spreads) so if a stop or limit is ever triggered and you wanted to question it please get in contact and we'll be able to provide independent third party evidence (e.g. Bloomberg or exchange data from the NYSE or LSE for example).

While it is a well-known fact that successful trading can be challenging, we do not typically benefit from trading losses that an unsuccessful client may experience. In the same vein, if you make money from a profitable trade, IG does not typically lose out.

Put simply, we want our clients to trade profitably, and it goes without saying that we do not manipulate price feeds or widen spreads unnecessarily.

If you would prefer to deal directly in the market for FX or shares then you can use the DMA functionality to place orders on exchange (for example NYSE, LSE, or via Forex Direct).

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
