How it was booked to your account: This is a European rights issue, and it just so happens that the rights are initially booked on a 1 to 1 basis for these types of issues. This is just how it works. Once the rights are booked to the account, they are then convertible into new shares on a 3 for 2 basis. So if you had 100 shares through cash close on Friday last week, on Monday morning you would have woken up with 100 additional rights booked to your account. These 100 rights can be taken up and converted into 150 new shares, on a 3 shares for every 2 rights basis. Each new share will then cost EUR 0.92 to purchase. Example of how the rights issue works if you had 4 shares. If the trader wants to take up the rights, he/she can convert their 4 rights into 6 additional shares at a price of EUR 3.68 (Share Dealing). For leveraged accounts, the trader would have to pay the equivalent margin of the full notional of the rights. If the margin rate is 20% for IAG, the client will need to have EUR 0.736 (EUR 3.68 x 20%) in order to take up the rights. There's no deadline date confirmed yet but it would be best to email us back as soon as possible if you want to take them up.

Thanks for your post. If you put down £0.50 per each one point movement in the direction you selecting will gain you £0.50. Say you wanted to trade on the FTSE (and considering you weren't using stops) you would have to put down (price of FTSE x £0.50 x margin factor). That is your holding deposit then the market would move round and your profit/ loss on the FTSE would have an impact on your available funds. If you want to have it that every point movement gains you £10 you have to use £10 per point. Leverage means that instead of purchasing the underlying asset you put down a percentage of the consideration of the trade then depending on which way the market moves you gain or lose that money. If what you mean was you wanted to invest £10 on indices without leveraged this isn't something we can offer. I hope this helps.

Hey, Thanks for your post. The demo account tried to replicate the live account as close as possible. It could be that at that time the size was too large and you would have had to partially sell or use an advanced option to sell.

If you click on deal then your order will be opened straight away. If you click on the order tab it will give you an order to open which means only when the market hits your price (or worse for a stop order) (or better for a limit order) will the order be executed. If you're trying to long/ short a market when the market isn't open it may direct you to the order tab. All the best

Thanks for your post. If we can see that you always use force open and as you mentioned you have evidence which is great give us a call and we can look into correcting this for you. Please note, when something like this happens it's best to give us a call straight away. All the best

Thanks for your post. Sometimes there are incorrect spikes on the platform. This can be down to quotes in the market that were not traded at. If the price isn't traded at we will not close positions off the price. Our technical team do then go and remove any incorrect pricing. All the best.

Which market are you looking at so I can give you a full example? If you were doing £1 per point on a market it's (bet size x price x margin factor). You can find the margin on the deal ticket in the get info section: Margin can vary with different products.

We do have multiple FTSE100 markets. Some are cash and some are future prices. The future price is the price in the underlying. It had as expiration date and has a slightly wider spread but you don't have to pay any overnight funding. With the cash we use the future pricing and fair value adjustment to make you a price with a smaller spread but you do pay overnight funding. You can see the different markets on the platform: All the best

Hey @BlundurBust, It's not a silly question at all. We have some on the platform by all share (equity) options you have to call us to deal. Our FX, indices and commodities options can be found on the platform. All the best

Thanks for your post. If you use a stop order to sell it means we will sell at the price you select or worse. We will try and get the price you selected but if the market were to move downwards rapidly we will get the next available price. In your example, if you were to set a stop order to sell at £48 your instructions to us would be sell at £48 or less. I hope this helps.

U.S. created 1.37 million jobs in August, vs 1.32 million expected. Unemployment rate falls to 8.4%

Friday’s US jobs report could bring a bearish reversal for the dollar despite the ongoing bid to claw back jobs lost in March and April. The August US jobs report released on Friday provides traders with another opportunity to take a close look at the ongoing economic recovery following the economic collapse that took hold in the first half (H1) of 2020. Capping off the week, the jobs report will be released at 1.30pm (UK time) on Friday 4 September. ADP weakness could spell trouble for headline NFP number The US jobs outlook has been showing signs of gradual improvements over the course of the past few months, with the height of the crisis seemingly having occurred in April. However, we are reaching a period where that recovery appears to be slowing somewhat, with the payrolls figure decreasing over the past two months. The automatic data processing (ADP) payrolls figure highlights the potential for further disappointment on Friday, with another underwhelming figure this week (428K) highlighting the lack of follow through on this recovery. Looking at the jobless claims data, we have seen the initial filings decline once again, following a tentative push higher in mid-August. However, while we are moving in the right direction once again, this is a sign we are seeing some bumps in the road as the US economy attempts to recover from the 22.2 million jobs lost in March and April. So far less than half of those losses (42%) have been regained. Markets are expecting to see a decrease in the number of jobs created, with a figure of 1.49 million well below the 1.76 million seen in July. However, it is worthwhile noting that the rate of improvement was always likely to slow after initial gains made as the economy first turned a corner. Nevertheless, the economic picture is still improving, as highlighted by the unemployment rate which is expected to break below the 10% threshold for the first time since April. Despite last months decline, it is important to follow the participation rate, with a recovery in that rate telling a story of how people are feeling confident enough to return to the workplace. Finally, with average hourly earnings expected to fall from 4.8% to 4.6%, we are seeing a signal that those lower paid jobs (often in the services sector) are returning after the initial lockdown shock. Dollar index technical analysis Looking at the dollar index, we have seen huge declines for the greenback over the course of this crisis. The past month has seen a more balanced market, although we have maintained the bearish theme. With the price on the rise over the course of September thus far, there is a chance we could see another move lower given the confluence of trendline and 76.4% Fibonacci resistance up ahead. With that in mind, it will be worth watching for a sign of a bearish reversal from here, with a break through 93.50 ultimately required to bring about a fresh bullish outlook. By Joshua Mahony

Thanks for your post. We offer options trading on our leveraged accounts (spread betting and CFD). With FX, indices and commodity options they can be located on the platform. For equity options you have to call to deal. We don't offer options on the non-leveraged accounts. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your post. You're correct the profit on the account should be (5942.2 - 5936.9) x 0.25 giving you a profit of £1.33. If this is not reflecting on your account please reach out to our help desk on helpdesk.uk@ig.com so they can look into this. All the best
