Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 68% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Question
Guest GuildfordStevey
Hi, One of the main reasons I wanted to use IG is because of the APIs. Are you still supporting these going forward? If not I'll need to replatform sooner rather than later.
The reason I ask is that I registered to post in the community a few months ago and thats still waiting approval. Also in the last month your search functionality now displays an error page, and has been that way for a number of weeks.
I've just tried using the contact form and thats also throwing an error when you submit.
If you are still supporting, is there another way I can ask questions around your API and platform if the community is no longer in use?
The main question I have at the moment is around the markets API which has a minNormalStopOrLimitDistance property. This seems to change throughout the day on your site for a market, but not in the API result, eg for FTSE it always returns 4 points, but at some points later in the day it increases to 6 on the site, but not in the API, so fails when I use this to place a deal. Is there something else I should be using to calculate minimum stop?
Any help you can provide would be great.
Many Thanks
Steve
