Trades £25,000


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

I make frequent trades over £25,000, often daily, but I have to do it in two purchases. There is no problem with selling. I have tried phoning the helpline but but I was told it was not possible to make share purchases over £25,000 Is there t any way that one can can make purchases over £25,000 in one transaction?.

I am a fugitive from another well-known company where I was a very satisfied client until they added a 20 minute time out feature.

I still have my ISA account with them which I want to move to IG, but again, I would need to be able to to trade over £25,000.

Thanks for reading.

Hey @RegRow

Thanks for your post. 

With our share dealing/ ISA accounts we have a fixed commission up to £25,000. If you want to trade more than £25K in one go you can get your commission structure changed to 5 basis points (0.05%). However, if you work out the exposure of your trade you will be able to determine what's more cost effective for you. 

You can find our commission structure here: https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/share-dealing/costs-fees

Example: 

If you were looking to buy £40K worth of the same UK shares. You could either: 

1. Do one trade with exposure £25, then another with £15K and pay (£8 x 2) £16

or 

2. £40K x 0.05% = £20 

 

Do note that when you trade a certain amount of trades in the previous month your commission with reduce. 

 

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions let me know.

I am having the same issue but thanks for the explanation, which IG live chat was completely unable to deal with just now. They are adamant that there is no limit on purchases. Very poor advice, which I find to be the norm. 

How do you get the commission structure changed?

If you want the commission structure changed to 5 basis points you will need to call us and ask the person on the phone to change the settings with the shares desk.

Having to spend 45mins in a phone queue to do this is daft.. Imagine if you do it all the time.. For example today I wish to buy 150k of shares, but I have to do it 6 times.. Absolutely amateur.. I can't go on the phone as I'm at work.. 😛

    • In this buoyant market with Bitcoin hitting $42,000 and Ethereum reaching $2,200, there's a risk of getting swept up in the excitement fueled by wealth screenshots shared online. However, after impulsive investments, many realize they might still be at a loss, far from outperforming Bitcoin or Ethereum. Here are key takeaways to survive a bull market gleaned from over six years of experience: 01 Few Profits in a Bull Market A bull market implies rising cryptocurrency prices, driven by an optimistic outlook. Yet, making profits is not for everyone. Regardless of positive news or technology, price surges happen when buying outpaces selling. Bull markets inflate numbers but only a few benefit. 02 Preventing Bull Market Missteps In this evolving industry, new narratives emerge with each market rally, driving interest. To navigate: - New Narratives: Expect new storylines; innovation typically starts on-chain. Current trends hint at Bitcoin's ecosystem and various emerging concepts. - Consensus and Open-mindedness: Consensus drives interest. Keeping an open mind is crucial to understand new narratives. - Identifying Leaders: Market cap often defines leadership, but sectors may lack clear leaders or witness transitions. - Top Institutional Trends: Monitoring top institutions' moves is crucial, although they might influence the market significantly. 03 Pitfalls to Avoid Despite market surges, human impulses persist. Here are key pitfalls: - Leveraged Contracts: Playing these is risky; initial success may lead to overconfidence, resulting in significant losses. - All-In Attitude: Don't exhaust your capital; respect the market and learn from past market crashes. - Frequent Trading: Emotional trading often results in losses; patience is vital. - Following Trends Blindly: Avoid blindly following trends; understanding the project you're investing in is crucial. .Surviving a bull market isn't about picking money off the ground; it's about staying steady and avoiding pitfalls in an enticing yet volatile landscape.

    • SP500, NASDAQ, DAX 40, FTSE 100, ASX200. Elliott Wave Insights & Strategies  Summary:  US Indices Wave 2 retracement in progress and we will look to buy the low of wave 2 in due course. The SP500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 200 and the DAX 40 have this pattern. The FTSE 100 and the ASX 200 have different patterns, however these markets will follow the same intraday moments as the US Indices within reason and will also look to build long positions in the same timing of the US Indices and ETFs. Stocks: Two types of patterns occurring in these stocks. The stocks that have dropped a lot are still in their b) wave rally and will continue into the next session. Then there are the AAPL's that have made a new high. The main point is there are no decent trends occurring in the next session.
