IG

Have been trading on IG platform for a very long time, it is a platform with huge number of tools for chart analysis and quite stable. Havent seen any major issues, performs well during big news release - doesnt freeze up. Commission and spread is a bit on a larger side, however for serious traders reliability comes 1st i guess. This platform will enable serious traders to able to do extensive analysis charts.

The ig is the best trading platform I've tried.

i like this software because i can use it for backtesting and they keep upgrading it. at first i couldnt use nasdaq but now i saw they added it. i hope it keeps getting better by adding smart money indicators as well

I like the application but I believe that some enhancement can be made, I would like to see in the pattern analysis the price forecast or prediction.

It's simply the best back-testing software I've ever used! nothing can better describe it.

Had some problems with their system hanging and closing out trades that didn't even have stops when I was trading the demo account. raised tickets but they wouldn't investigate beyond a cursory triage because they said the demo system was 'prone to this kind of thing happening but it's ok as the live system is specced up so that it would never happen', which is probably fair comment but it should've raised a red flag for me, I'm a systems engineer. Well 3 months into live trading and it's happened 3 times where the system hangs for almost 2 minutes and when it comes back your trades have been closed out. Once again, their investigation was cursory and suggestive of user error - Trading View and all other internet applications were up and running and there was no outage on my ISP and no other dropped packets according to wireshark. I cannot recommend using IG's platform at all, if you're going to trade with them make sure it's on MT4/5 as their bespoke platform has some fundamental serious issues in my opinion.

Depositing and esp. trying to withdraw your money is extremely SLOW and they charge huge FEES and commissions to deposit and withdraw money. The spreads are huge too. Everything you do they will continually skim money from your account, every deposit, every withdrawal and every trade. A terrible SLOW broker that only knows how to make money by skimming money from clients. When I finally am trying to close my account and withdraw my money, they are asking for heaps of paperwork and are taking a very long time for me to withdraw my money... and I still haven't been able to withdraw my money.

IG claims to be one of the leading brokers and surely they are scam. I've been trading with them for more than 2 years, they always change the settlement prices and then claim that their charts are not accurate. If the charts on their website are not correct how do they expect clients to trade, for example if you place a trade and the market settles at 10091.55 on their live chart, they will say ooh sorry the correct settlement price was 10094.66 They would claim this price to be on third party platform.They will steal your money be warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have 0.26 average spread on eur/usd through DMA liquidity feed. I have access to web and advanced platforms. MT4, external platform through API, or order book with L2 dealer platform. No problem with back office support. I would say 24/7 instead of classic 24/5 working hours. Execution is really reliable and fast. In addition, IG offers seminars, market analysis and broad range of services on website.
