Hey Rob, thanks for your post. This dividend has been paid to clients now. With share dealing accounts it's usually 1-2 working days after the pay date. The ex dividend date was 29th August 2019. You would have needed to buy the stock before the 29th August 2019 to receive the dividend. Check your stock, if it was purchased before 29th August 2019 please contact our help desk so they can look into the issue for you. Thanks

One of our Analysts have written a piece on this event but I love the visuals you've provided here! Thank you Asia's major indices up on the back of upbeat China PMI

Hey @LeoTrader, thanks for the post. With major FX pairs it would normally be about £500 per point. And yes, advanced orders are the partial fills and market orders.

Apologies for the late response. We're in the initial beta launch phase and that we'll be rolling out more functionality and improvements. As we're still in the testing phase, not all clients will have access yet but it will be available to everyone in the coming months. @mark27 @Caseynotes @dmedin @DSchenk

@dmedinI saw the large drop and once the bullish candle was visible again thought it could be a potential buying opportunity but with the large bear movement it's hard to predict if it will reverse direction or continue with the downward trend. 🐻 vs 🐮

Gold update from DailyFX you may find interesting! Click here for the full article.

Jeremy Naylor has created a short clip following the polls yesterday but it's interesting to see Sterling price action against other currency. Just a little reminder that IG will be live at 6am GMT on Friday 13th December following Thursdays vote.

Even though Conservatives are in the lead one of our Analysts, Josh, wrote a piece on Labour manifesto: stocks to watch. It's a really interesting read on what could happen based off key promises Labour has made that could significantly impact investors and traders. Our TV team have also created a TA piece on sterling which I will post in here as soon as it's ready.

This might be of some use to people or potentially just a bit of fun. Daily FX have a DNA FX quiz. Let me know what you think and what you get Start the quiz

Due to how options are presented on the platform we haven't found a way to display them yet on a Watchlist. Our developers are looking to add them soon it's just the layout that's taking time. You can add these to a workspace for the moment. I will update you when the developers get back to me.

No problem at all. If you need me for anything just '@' me

Hey @BackyardCursor, thanks for your first post Most client positions will be executed immediately. The way that we operate is making sure we hedge the same way as clients. Ideally we would have 50% long and 50% short meaning when one is losing the others are winning and they cancel out each others profit/ losses. Of course most of the time this isn't the case. So say 60% are long and 40% are short IG have to hedge that additional 20% long. Because we are hedging trades we have to sometimes ask client, who are trading large sizes, to use advanced orders or call us to hedge their positions directly with us. This is why you may occasionally see that some markets become 'unborrowable' (no short positions) or 'unlongable'( no long positions) because we're unable to hedge anymore in that market and we wouldn't take on client positions that we can't hedge. I hope this helps

@MercuryGlad you mentioned the Breakout because DailyFX just posted about a potential bullish movement on Brent and which points that are worth keeping an eye on. Check out the full article by following the link below and let me know your ideas. Crude Oil Forecast: WTI Oil & Brent Eye Resuming Uptrend Price Action Please know this is just for your interest, not a trading idea.

I see what you mean and appreciate you sharing your trades. ^ 👍 Glad to hear! ^ We have news for each currency pair but not relevant to each other which makes deciding on a direction hard (if you're not using technical analysis). I wonder if anyone is going to be getting involved with the cable trade during brexit and trade war announcements and if they are how are they deciding which way to go.

Hey@ben91, Our corporate actions team have now sent out an email regarding the outcome of SodaStream to all clients who were invested in it. Let me know if you have any questions

@Mercury & @dmedin- Thanks for sparking this chat back up again. I feel like with everything going on with Brexit (focusing on EURGBP) and trade war we sometimes forget about Cable movement. DailyFX have wrote their thoughts on cable. Something you might find interesting, let me know GBP/USD: Overtaking This Price Could be a Game Changer- British Pound to USD Outlook

@Justin_Dao and @xavthetrader I will bring this suggestion to the development team next week. Would it still be useful for you in the information section?

Hey, thanks for your feedback message. Thanks for your feedback message. I've spoken to our app development team recently and unfortunately there's not high enough demand to bring back the app. Sorry.

Hey @andysinclair, thank you for letting us know. I will contact the relevant team to get the spam cleared. I will be able to get you an update for the move soon. Thanks, Charlotte

If you wish to add a guaranteed stop you will only need to pay the premium if the stop is hit. With Spread betting it will simply be size x premium. With CFD it's size x contract size x premium. The deal ticket will show you the premium you have to pay:

Hey Guys, DailyFX are having a webinar on 5 Continuation patterns and how to trade them. Watch it and let me know what you think.

If you want I can speak with the analysts at IG about doing a mix of longer and shorter time periods for TA rather than just dailies.
