nice update. Trump sure is a monkey isn't he.... Ya'll see this? Google image search of '****'. hohohoho.

options only available on the 'classic' trading platform I believe which I don't think new clients have access to. So unfortunately not at the moment - but with ESMA allowing ya to place options trades with unrestricted leverage it looks like IG may be putting more effort into their options offering.

40 odd years as a leveraged CFD provider? That should be used pretty short term if you ask me. Granted this is true though - they really need to update the share dealing platform now and bring it more in line with the leveraged offering. Have you ever checked out the CFD platform? It's pretty good. Now they just need to apply to shares.

tbf a monthly / quarterly charge is pretty commonplace.

Well who saw that one coming. Kinda makes you wonder why they even say a time frame when they have the power to continually roll. I mean, I know there was no reason for them to revert (and that would NEVER have happened) but it does seem odd to me. Would be interested in the reasoning.

Ya'll know about these new knock outs right on the spread betting IG UK site and the fact you basically have a 1% margin requirement or 100:1 leverage? assuming stops are as close as possible which is 1% away from market. So £77 odd quid to trade FTSE with a 77 point guaranteed stop. Tax free as spread betting.

Good read to start the week. Thanks.

Thanks james. Followed.

when will crypto be added? / will it?

Just like normal no? Or have you not used this new platform yet? Should just go to positions > close and then you get a green confirm. Did it below where I had two positions originally and closed one to test in demo.

wonder if the 'expiry' (which should probably be put in these " as it's more "expiry") is just a requirement for this to be an option? or a spread bet I don't know. Like the DFB's which have expiry dates of 2029...

this was in city am - worth a read from their 'shadow MPC'.

Read this article - pretty much covers everything. https://www.marketpulse.com/20180801/boe-super-thursday-live-name/

I also really like the use of the word plebeians

niiiiiiice

It's not as bad as it first seemed. Granted that's still a lot of money, but still. Also there are these new products coming from IG which I am excited about. Does anyone know what they are? Has there been any news? Also I read somewhere else that MT4 will offer 1/10th of the size if you wanted? So you can DAX trade with £64 for 10p a point. Not sure how exciting that would be to trade ... but anyway. At least you can do multiples of that so say margins of 60 / 120 / 240 GBP for 10, 20p and 40p a point for example.

yeh like you said. https://www.ig.com/au/about-us shows ASIC (not the sports shoe company) Maybe @JamesIG can confirm.

well yes ... on their website there is a massive referral link so they're making bank for everyone who signs up there. FCA isn't in Aus so obviously Aus IG can't protect money with FCA.... They are regulated tho by their relevant party.

what am I missing ... spread on their example on their homepage is 0.6 and the price is backwadated?

Didn’t know where else to post this

john do you ever cover any crypto things?
