IG: Trade Stocks, Forex & More 17+

When comparing SP brokers, what I like about IG is the format in which they let you open positions. As a spread better, it’s important for me to know how much I can expect to win or lose on each point. With brokers such as Capital and CMC, you open your position based on the amount of lots you want to purchase. With IG, you open your position based on the cost per point. This is just a lot easier for me.

The charting is really good also. I wish they had a rewind feature like TradingView does, but you can’t have everything I suppose.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad to hear that our cost-per-point system works well for your trading style and that you enjoy our charting tools. We appreciate your suggestion about the rewind feature, it's valuable feedback that we'll pass on to our team. Thanks for choosing IG! All the best, A.B

I’ve been a customer for several years, lately things have been going from bad to worse, non of the moving averages worked MA EMA or the centre of Bollinger band, contacted them first time asked for screenshot said they would look into it after a couple of weeks hearing nothing contacted again, same again, contacted third time, said they would escalate the issue that must of been about 4 weeks ago, still nothing, contacted them again saying still waiting for a reply, absolutely nothing back, changed away from the app and logged in directly now the 5 min chart just stops moving, price is still moving but not the chart, you constantly checking to see if it’s displaying the correct price and this is for the FTSE 100 not something obscure, beginning to think they are trying to break you concentration, also, it would keep forgetting your settings like net off force open, something else you had to keep watching. Just moved some of my money out to open account with another broker, if it goes well will close the account. Very disappointing after several years recommending them to other people

—-UPDATE: —- Things have improved, they appear to have sorted the problems out at last, Thank you!

IG was good initially but slowly when issues arise the true colours of IG and business ethics got revealed
Their ill practices involves
1- Removing assets from CFD without any reason with No notice to 4 weeks notice which is insane and blocking News positions opening anytime
2- If complaints department is contacted their support is like that they don’t even have accurate mathematical skills to calculate - cheap labour force at work or outsourcing at place
3- Your assets can be sold anytime happened with me and then suddenly got told off without any reason as consolidation took place - poor management
4- Lack of professionalism- they will suspend your account first and then ask for any new document which they may require rather ask documentation first and then see what to do next - harassing attitude
5- Complaints team has intentionally been remote and no telephone number to communicate effectively with and only frustrating bouncing only email to and from with very hard for them to understand your simple matter - poor policy
6- Assets which are available with other brokerage in CFD accounts here you wouldn’t get it in CFD always

Good things about IG
1- Vast assets to offer
2- Spreads are not insane
3- Customer service people are polite although they wouldn’t be able to help you due to poor management and policy making team but they are very polite
4- Easy to use and understand
5- online resources
