I know you have @dmedin 😁
I wasn't very clear from quoting you, the 1st paragraph was for you.
The 2nd one was for everyone else hehe! I'm still getting to grips with how to post 🙈 I've just amended it

IG has circa 180,000 clients but we don't even have 18 regular posters on this forum.
There are so many people on community but I feel sometimes people are hesitant to post or not sure what they can post. It really is open to all trading ideas and questions.

I notice that a lot of companies offer a demo account for spread betting and CFD but does anyone know of anyone offering a share investment demo account?
Thank you,
Paul
Hey @Paul2209, thanks for you message.
With our non-leveraged accounts and investment portfolios it's too hard to replicate them in a demo environment.
We're looking to add some guides for Share dealing and ISA accounts when we release our new platform (early next year) but not a demo.
With out smart portfolios we do offer a performance page if that helps: https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/smart-portfolios/performance

We did also had an interview yesterday on why the indices may be dropping.
Serge Berger is selling S&P 500 & Dax

Thanks @CharlotteIG. That neatly answers the question for dividends - is there a report for calculating overall capital gain/loss for the tax year?
Thanks for your response @SGibbs2
We don't offer a statement that calculates your Capital gains tax. We're not regulated tax advisers which is why we don't provide that information.
The CTC statements we do provide can be used to determine what CGT you have to declare.

When are these yearly statement sent? Do you need to opt in to receive them?
I'm looking to identify the capital gains figure for the last tax year for a tax return.
Hey @SGibbs2 thanks for your message.
With non-leveraged accounts (Share dealing), you will be able to find CTC statements on the platform on the MyIG page by selecting Live accounts> Statement.
If you can't find it there, open up the platform and select My Account> History> Statements.
With leveraged (CFD or spread betting) accounts you will need to contact us and request them.
Let me know if you need anything else by '@' me.

We can already see the affect the inflation announcement had on the FTSE today at 9:30, but it's recovered slightly.
We have the US CPI announcement today at 13:30 GMT. This is something to keep in mind this afternoon.

@dmedin- It's up for today so far, but will it stay up until close of business.
Every morning has shown bearish behavior since last Wednesday. Could this potentially be the turning point and be a bullish day?

Hello, the names of the stocks are PGNY and CABA.
In terms of non-leveraged or leveraged, I am thinking non-leveraged. However, I am not too sure. For a beginner, what would you recommend ?
@Tiffany- thanks for your fast response.
CABA US – non-leveraged only for the moment, however it will be assessed for a couple of months then they may add it to leveraged.
PGNY US – set up for both leveraged and non-leveraged account.
The account you pick depends on what you want to do to be honestly. With share dealing/ ISAs you will physically own the stock and receive dividends. The commission for US shares on non-leveraged accounts is $15 or 2 cents per share (you will be charged the larger of the two. Further to this, you do have our custody fee on share dealing which is £24 per quarter. You can find out more about share dealing fees by following the link here.
With a CFD account (leveraged) you are also charged commission per side which is $15 or 2 cents per share again on each side. When trading the Cash we also charge overnight funding. With these account you will only have to put down 20%-25% of the market value to open a position.
With Spread betting you're not charged commission, you're charged spread. This means when you open the position you will be in an instant loss but the profit/ loss you make on that position can be realised as soon as you click close position. There will be no commissions. This type of account is also not subject to capital gains tax. With the Spread betting account, you can trade the cash which has overnight funding but you also have the option to trade a forward contract. This has a larger spread, and expiry date but no overnight fees. You can choose to roll forward contracts if you wish to used them and hold them long term. The option to rollover is on the MyIG page when you select Settings> Rollovers. Like the CFD you will only have to put down 20%-25% of the market value to open a position.

Hi!
I have always wondered if we could do this!!
How do you set up alerts for RSI/Stoctastic levels??
I use the IG Iphone iOS app
Indicator alerts can only be set on the desk top, I'm speaking with the app developers already about incorporating them into the iOS app.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi, may I ask is there a system glitch in IG for Wall street Cash index as Dow closed 27492 at 5.01am and the Dow Futures was 27424 but IG Wall street at 5am is 27487, at 5.01am is 27454. Rightfully it should reflect the same value without any gap during the transition of market closing.
There is a wide gap of 30 points difference (attached screenshot from the IG.)
Observed that the current points difference between Indices and Indices future of Dow 30 at Investing.com is 68 points (attached the screenshots from Investing.com)
Please kindly advise. Thanks!
Hey @Cheerywalnuts, thanks for your post.
The movement on the cash price was the dividend adjustent for Wall st. Adjustments are made 21:00 GMT, (so 5am Singapore time). We post the expected dividend adjustments on the community on 'Our Picks'. The Wall St adjustment that evening was posted as 32. 6.
If you want to see how dividend adjustments work on Cash markets you can find out more by following the link below:

I would like to have the option to select if I want to have a line exclusive to one chart or if it goes through price, indicator1, indicator 2, etc.
This would be extremely useful and timesaving for technical trades who are looking for an alignment of sorts.
Many thanks,
Daniel Lake
Hey - I've spoken to our technical team and they're not sure what you're looking for.
Are you looking potentially for Layering which is when you can have different layers of indicators on certain charts?
Let me know and apologies for the delay

Hello,
There are two companies that recently went public (around October 25th). I cannot seem to find them enlisted IG ? Please could anyone help ? They're based in the US.
Thank you !
Hey @Tiffany- What are the names/ tickers of the 2 stocks? And do you want to trade them on a non-leveraged or leveraged account.
When you respond '@' me in, then I can request to get them added for you.

FTSE 100, DAX and Dow have turned higher despite sharp losses on Friday. With key resistance up ahead, will the recent market uptrend continue?
Our senior market analyst Joshua Mahony wrote about the FTSE, DAX and DOW movement. What is everyone thinking of this recovery and do you think it's going to continue with this bullish behavior.

Most U.S. stock prices on my watch-lists are frozen and not updating. This started happening last week. It's very annoying, can anyone advise a fix please?
Ian
Hey @Razzarino, thanks for your post.
If this issue is still happening can you let me know which US stocks and at what time of the day. If it is pre or post market for stocks that are not all sessions, they will not move. If it is all sessions stocks they sometimes aren't as liquid however there should still be some price movement.
Let me know

I am an English speaker living in Spain. The IG CFD trading platform has some pages coming up in Spanish and others in English. Right clicking on the title bar to do a "google translate" is very frustrating and not something I wish to continue with.
At present I am on the CFD demo and do not wish to transfer the problem when/if I go live on this account.
IG MT4 both live and demo does not have this problem.
How can I set the CFD to English?
Hey @SteveKG, apologies for the late response.
You would need to sign up with https://www.ig.com/en. This is an English platform for persons living in Spain.
I hope this helps.

@dmedin, after refreshing the page does it still persist? If so I would advise you to contact our technical team. This should not be happening especially when the charts are something you need for your technical analysis!

Nice chart from IG ...
Hey @dmedin,
Is that on the cash or forward chart for Greggs? I've tried to replicate the same layout on my phone and desktop but it's not showing that issue you're having. If it's on your desktop as part of your layout, can you remove the chart then re-add it and see if it's still not working.
Let me know
