Hey @TheDudeLondon, thanks for you feedback message. Historically, the S&P 500 and the VIX volatility index move in opposing directions. They not only offer mirror performance to each other, they typically do so with the a matching intensity. You can find DailyFX Chief Currency Strategist John Kicklighters article about this correlation by following the link below: Correlation between VIX and S&P He mentions how they normally act vs some rare occurrences when they correlate. I hope this helps

Exactly, when you trade an FX pair you will long/ short the way you believe the first currency will move. So if you were to short USD/NOK that means you believe that USD will weaken against NOK.

Hey @123ABC Thanks for your feedback message. You're correct ASIC have brought in some new margin rules for retail clients. With regards to UK residents opening accounts in Switzerland, we're unable to give you answers to any tax related questions. Sorry, you will have to contact an independent tax advisor for this information.

@Caseynotes Is right about the rate being the same if it's manual or instant. If, however, this is a share dealing account you're not allowed to have an account base currency in anything but Sterling. It may be best to have a manual account. That way when you sell dollar stock, the funds can stay on the account in dollars. Meaning next time you want to buy US stock we don't have to convert and charge you we will just use funds from your dollar pot.

I've spoken to our technical team who mentioned there were some issues last week with MT4 but not our web platform. If you ever have any issues I would advise calling us straight away because we don't want you to miss out. With regards to the moves on Indices, 'Caseynotes' is always posting useful information in the Indices feed.

Q2 results came out this morning for Ryanair. Profits (after tax) at E910.2 million rather than estimated E841.5 million.

@rallyartist- Apologies for the late response. Our stop losses will change if market news is coming out or if we believe the market could be volatile. These changes are not permanent, it's just until we believe we're able to lower them again.

Hey guy, Just uploaded a new post with some of our content linked. You can find the new forum by clicking here. This will just be a general chat on the upcoming election and how you think it will affect the markets. It would be great to get your ideas Have a great weekend!

Hey everyone, As we all know political events usually cause volatility in the Markets. We want you to be as informed as possible if you're looking to trade Cable or UK stocks. If you need to get back up to speed, you can find the election time table below which points out key dates. Your election guide How do you think the election will affect the markets? We want to hear your view.

Hey @pnda112k Thanks for your feedback message. We only offer two types of orders to open. One is the limit order which is buying/ selling at a more favorable level. If you're buying, the price will be lower than the market price. If you were wanting to buy at a higher price then it's a stop order, which can be subject to negative slippage. You must have placed a stop order which means you can get filled at a worse price. I see the strategy you want to put in place but we're unable to offer a guaranteed open price with a stop order, sorry.

Hey @dmedin, Thanks for making this post. We will have some content coming out this afternoon regarding Brexit. I will make sure to post something in this Discussion to hopefully bring some more opinions in

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! If you need anything from me, just @ me

Hey. I've spoken to our technical team and v11 will not be rolling out until late 2019/ early 2020. Simply because we have to make sure everything works for clients so we test internally. We are sorry for the delay. I know this came out for PRT clients a few months ago.

Hey @Razzarino, thanks for your feedback message. After speaking with the technical team they said they haven't hear this issue across all clients. Please contact our help desk and ask to speak with the technical team so they can resolve this for you. Thanks

We can see Gold was down last night around 18:30pm GMT but is back up to a high for the week. What does everyone think is next for Gold?

@Caseynotes I will have a chat with our developers about it and keep you update but I believe the time frame is still set for early 2020

@TrendFollowerThanks for your fast response. The spread betting accounts would both sit under one username so you wouldn't be able to have two community accounts. Some people have 2 accounts so that one can be based in one currency and another can be in another currency. Others simple use it because they like having different markets separate so would have Forex trading in one and Index trading in the other.

Hey @Goldenbull thanks for your feedback message. As @TrendFollower mentioned you can hold lots of different accounts with IG. We allow clients to also have 2 spread betting accounts under one username. If you need more than 2, call our helpdesk and they can run you through some options.

Hey @SAMMYDAVID - thanks for your feedback message. We don’t offer the new web platform for share dealing account yet but it’s something we’re looking to offer in the future.

Thank you for this. Do all remember, as @Mercury mentioned, that the FOMC rate announcement is tonight at 6pm (UK time).

Hey @StephenN- Thanks for your feedback message. We didn't offer that stock but I've spoken to our shares desk who have added it to our Share dealing platform. If there's anything else I can help with, let me know

Hey @pipmum, Thanks for your response. All US stocks trade in the pre, main and post markets. The main sessions is between 14:30- 21:00 (UK time) (*due to the clock change it's 13:30-20:00 for this week). We offer 'All sessions' for some stocks on our platform. In the pre and post market you will see that the spread is a lot wider than in the main sessions because there are less buyers and sellers trading at this time. We have to follow the underlying market so the spread you see is the market price (with our spread wrapped around if you're trading on a spread betting account). I hope this helps.

Hey @TheInvenstor- Thanks for your feedback message. We only offer two types of orders to open. One is the limit order which is buying/ selling at a more favorable level. If you're buying, the price will be lower than the market price. If you were wanting to buy at a higher price then it's a stop order, which as you said can be subject to negative slippage. We do not have something in place that allows you to place a stop order that guarantees the price level (meaning you will not be subject to negative slippage). I see the strategy you want to put in place but we're unable to offer this, sorry. I will put if forward to see if this can be made possible for the future.

Hey @Hornetman- Thanks for your message. @Caseynotes is correct. On ProRealTime you can basically customise the hours, then tick an option to "build daily candles from intraday". I will put forward your feedback though to make this available for the IG platform.

Hey @Jessicapowow Thanks for your message. The Prudential PLC/ M&G Group Limited corporate actions was a spin off meaning you get one M&G Group Limited share for every one Prudential PLC share you held. To obtain the M&G Group shares you did not have to lose your existing shares, you were simply given free shares in M&G Group Limited.
