Hey @jackpiratuk, If you filled in the US stock for there's no reason you shouldn't be able to place the trade if there are sufficient funds on your account. If you're not sure why it rejected you can reach out to us so our client facing team can check your account. what was your order size? I can calculate the amount you need on the account to open it for you to see if that was a factor but you're best to call/ live chat us for an instant response. All the best

Hey @petertrotter, Unfortunately we don't offer Smart Portfolios for people living in Australia, only share trading for non leveraged accounts: https://www.ig.com/au/share-trading However, I will pass this on as feedback to our development team to see if we can add this account type for Australia in the future. All the best and apologies for the inconvenience.

Hey @Caseynotes, Loved some of your threads so looking forward to seeing them start back up! With regards to trolling, you're absolutely right it's not something that we want on the community and it's upsetting we have some. I've looked at some of your threads and can identify some but if you could email helpdesk.uk@ig.com FAO myself (Charlotte Meeks) I will be happy to look into this. All the best - Charlotte

Hey Hin, thanks for your first post. In the underlying market UK and South African shares trade in pence. For example, when Easy Jet displays a price of 920, their share price is at £9.20. US shares and all others trade in dollars. So if Tesla's display price is 680, it's trading at $680. However, on Spread betting when you trade £1 per point it's equivalent to: Easy Jet, £1 per point is equivalent to 100 shares Tesla, $1 per point is equivalent to 100 shares. If you were trading £1 per point it would be equivalent to trading 100 shares x GBPUSD exchange rate. If you need clarification on anything else or have any other questions let me know. Either quote my response or sent me a notification by putting @CharlotteIG All the best
