[Closing only: Market unavailable to open]

I also wanted to trade UONE but couldn't. I guess it must be for the reason above by Casey that it is below the 250m threshold. That was over a year ago that was written though but I can't find any info as to whether or not it is still the case. And is that in $ or £? 

Also it seems we can only trade 'All Sessions' US stocks pre-market and AMC as opposed to others that are open pre-market and AMC etc.

I guess you're trying out day trading right? I am starting to wonder if IG is the right option for day trading 

 

yes I’m looking into day trading. Quick in and out inter-day trading. 

I’ve been looking into my opinions on how to trade theses US stocks as I’ve been missing out on how volatile the US market has been over this last month. 

the only way you can trade US stocks like UONE with IG is by using the shear dealer account. I traded a couple of US stocks on Friday and all seemed ok. 

however there is commition charges on shear dealing. I believe £10. I think £10 to open a position and £10 to close a position. But I think it’s the case if you place more than 3 trades in one day. There are no commition charges (in shear dealing) if I’ve got this wrong please do let me know (thanks)

From what I understand you can’t use Pro Real Time charts along side Shear Dealing. So you need to use the IG platform software, which I found to be not as user friendly as Pro Real Time (but will just take a bit of time to learn)

if anyone has a link on how the shear dealing works or how to set up charts on the IG shear dealer platform I would very much appreciated any info. 

in regards to is IG the right platform for day trading, I feel one is more than able to day trade with IG, as I’ve been day trading Oil and the Dow over the last 6 months, but I feel there is a big opportunity to trade US stocks with IG   (I am still louring however) I have come to understand that no UK broker provide Level 2 dater/ market depth for (US stocks) Which I understand is very important for day trading stocks. This may trump one who is trying to trade US stocks like UONE (Again if anyone know anything or could give some feedback on this I would be most grateful)

You May be interested: I follow a US trader call Ross Cameron from warrior trading. He has a YouTube video and sells a years course should you wish to look into this. I’ve not signed up for it myself as it around $2999. But I would like to one day soon. His YouTube channel does give a good insite into his trades and however he finds the volatile stocks each morning (using trade idears). Def worth a look!

hope some of this helps. 

again if anyone could give some incite into Shear Dealing or day trading the US open on IG I would very much appreciated it. 

thanks

[Level 2 data]

Hi  thanks for the new post!

 

Level 2 data will vary differently between exchanges.

 

With the LSE, you'll be able to see market depth and volume (which is the four lines you're referring to in your post). Via the IG web platform, this is the maximum amount of information that is displayed on the deal ticket, but you're absolutely right in saying that more information would be displayed on the L2 platform. If you see the below example for GSK, you'll see an example of the standard level 2 deal ticket.
