I am not a trader, more just a small investor with IG. I have 99% of my investments with Hargreaves Lansdown and only started with IG after Hargreaves Lansdown was down for half an hour.
IG site is harder to use and the cost figure shown annoys me very much, as it does not include dealing charges and Stamp Duty, therefore overstating any profits. HL show the proper total cost.
More worried about huge drop in IG share Price. I now have 1000 shares, and was doing quite nicely before latest announcement. CMC are only on half the rating and seem a better bet now. Will probably close my IG account as not suited to small private investors. The mobile app is even worse than Windows 10.
HL has had some issues last week, with funny messages at times. They admitted that their system is not brilliant. Seems a shame they cannot afford to make their system top quality. Would love to have just a dealing site without all the investment **** they are trying to sell.
