I can see the option to enable futures here: Open the TastyTrade platform. Go to Manage (at the top of the screen, next to Trading) On the left menu, select My Accounts -> Trading Preferences. There you can enable margin and futures. Futures are only available on Margin accounts!

Another issue: while the US Options account is being reviewed I cannot transfer funds between my accounts. The pop up is the onfido message: I reckon the pop up to upload the id might show if I tried to move funds while the account is pending.

Reading the product description with a bit more detail, it looks like the margin account allows covered options. And looking at some of the videos that IG has posted on youtube it seems one can also buy/sell shares. I hope to have my account opened soon so I can investigate a bit more.

Hey IG Support! I was in the process of opening a US Options & futures account, I had applied for it, but still had to do the quiz and upload my id. When I tried to add funds to my spread betting account, but got a message saying that I had to re-upload my ID. This made me expedite the application for the US Options account, good thing in the end. After I finished the onboarding on that account, I was able to add funds again to the SB account. Raising this as it might create an extra stressful situation if it would've happened during a margin call. TA

Hi @gezmond! Thanks a lot! Out of curiosity, how did you find that out? Was it on one of the IG documents? Or goverment website?

That could be. I did register to the waiting list a few days ago: https://www.ig.com/uk/listed-options-futures

Hey IG, I cannot find much information about if trades on the leveraged or cash account would fall under CGT in the UK. I assume that trades in the cash account would have CGT, while the leveraged one won't, but I would like to know for sure! -Thanks!

I do see the option to open a US options & futures account both on the website and on the Android app (v24.5.4). Maybe you have an old version of the app? On Android go to Account -> manage account -> Add an account -> US options and futures

Hey folks, this morning I re-added one of the markets I was following on my main watchlist and the whole list came back. Not sure if this was fixed on IG's side or if it's a way to force the watchlist to be reloaded.

I have the same issue and same ratio. I hope they can be recovered.

Thanks @KoketsoIG! What is the best way to know when something like this happens? While this issue was happening I checked a few times the status page (https://status.ig.com/), but there's nothing in there linked to the status of the exchanges.

An now they are all tradeable. It would be great to know if this was a platform issue or something from LSE.

I see an icon of a telephone with a message of 'phone IG to trade' on most UK markets.

Hi @KoketsoIG, Thanks for the reply, I just checked non-share markets and they do show the spread. Interestingly, the mobile app shows the spread for shares. Would it be possible to ask for an improvement on the desktop application to add the spread for spread bet shares? Thanks!

Hi @AshishIG, I have the exact same question. I'll send you a DM with a screenshot. Edit: looks like I can't send you a DM. Here's the screenshot anyway taken from the web/desktop site: This help and support page has a screenshot (when one expands the 'spread' section) which shows that the spread should be shown between the Sell/Buy buttons on the Deal section.
