Dear @gemtex, Unfortunately, you cannot use a direct shareholding, but the value of your shareholdings. Just to clarify, on My IG, are you trying to link your CFD account to your share dealing account? Thanks, KoketsoIG

Dear @gemtex, Thank you for your post. Yes, please note that you can use up to 95% of the value of your IG share trading account as margin for leveraged trades. You can only use your shareholdings to cover the initial margin on your CFDs. Any running losses will need to be covered by the available cash in your margined account. Your shareholdings remain intact and retain their full value; you simply use a percentage of their worth as collateral to fund shorter-term trades. You'll need both an IG share trading account and a CFD account. Thanks, KoketsoIG

@123abc, Please note this goes back to the funds required to keep the position open, if your equity falls below your required margin, your position will be closed. Opening a position requires having enough margin to keep a position open. Thanks, KoketsoIG

Dear @bulltraderpt, No worries, we will relay the message. Please also reach out if you have any questions on how to navigate the new platform. Thanks, KoketsoIG

Dear @TradeSniper47, Thank you for your post. Please note that most equity options are traded over the phone when the underlying market is open. You can contact us during equity trading hours to be connected to a Sales Trader who will trade the equity options on your behalf. Please note that with CFD accounts you are required to report your gains for tax purposes, but with spread betting, you can trade without paying capital gains tax or stamp duty. Thanks, KoketsoIG

Dear @123abc, Thank you for your post. Please note that IG can only close your positions if: - Your go-on margin call - Your stop or limit was closed (this will be automatically closed by the system at the requested levels) Please have a look at our customer agreements about margin trading from our website: Terms and Agreements, however, it is important that you monitor all of your positions closely. It is your responsibility to monitor your positions and during the period that you have any open Contracts or Transactions, you should always have the ability to access your accounts. Thanks, KoketsoIG

Please see the expected dividend adjustment figures for a number of our major indices for the week commencing 4th March 2024. These are projected dividends and are likely to change.

The Week Ahead Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week Week commencing 26 February Chris Beauchamp's insight The second estimate of US quarter four (Q4) gross domestic product (GDP) growth, the Federal Reserve's (Fed’s) preferred PCE inflation gauge and Germany’s consumer price inflation (CPI) are the main economic events to watch for this week. US new home sales, durable goods orders, personal income, consumer confidence, also in Germany, Eurozone economic sentiment, Japanese retail sales, industrial production and unemployment data as well as Chinese manufacturing and services purchasing managers index (PMI) will likely play second fiddle to the main data releases. Earnings season is beginning to wind down, now that Nvidia, the last of the Magnificent 7, released its stellar earnings last week. Stock index rallies to record highs by several European and US bourses may thus lose some of their upside momentum. In the UK Bunzl, Ocado and Taylor Wimpey are to report their full-year figures, in Europe Munich Re, Just Eat Takeaway and IAG will do so as well and in the US Hewlett Packard Q1 and Best Buy Q4 earnings, some of which may provide additional volatility.
