Tried calling the support line, but gave up after an hour or more on two occasions.  I'm a new trader. I have base funds in both Sterling and AUD. I plan to do a Forex trade to $US from these two base funds, until the Corona Virus issues stabilise and think there is a bottom to the share market. I then intend to actively trade in shares.

I understand that I don't actually "own real" $US when I forex buy US$ using the Sterling and AUD base funds in my account.  I assume that this means that I cannot use the $US I have as part of my Forex trade to buy US company shares priced in $US. In that instance, would I have to sell, converting the Forex $US, back to the base currency in which I bought them (for instance pounds), then convert the pounds to $US at your conversion rate of 0.5% (or less) before being able to purchase US shares in $US.  

Would equally be happy with comments or a link, as to where I can find this information.

If you change your 'currency conversion' setting to 'manual' from the main IG page, you could keep multiple currencies once you sell any investment in a foreign currency. Initial Trade / Investment would have to be converted at the time of trade IG's conversion rate. I am also in similar position and luckily got through on the phone in a few minutes.

    • Dear @Dan_SB, You have the option to add a trailing stop on the deal ticket just like setting a regular stop. To do this, you will need to specify both the stop distance, which is the same as a normal stop and the trailing step. Here are the steps to add a trailing stop on the deal ticket: 1. Click on the drop-down menu under ‘stop’ 2. Select ’trailing’ 3. Enter your stop and trailing step where prompted. Enter your stop and trailing step where prompted NB: The trailing stop option will not be available on the deal ticket if you are placing a working order.
