@1invest. You should not get charged for non leveraged positions with any broker because you're not borrowing anything. Don't forget that brokers who agree that short leveraged positions will not be charged are not always as generous as they sound - when interest rates are high, you can often...

Actually I took the plunge this morning and opened an account. I was going to do it at the beginning of the financial year, but then saw your comment on 8th April, so held back and vacillated a bit longer. I'm not going to do any leveraged trading with them; I'm really happy with my existing...

I normally access my account through Chrome on my computer with no problem. but I haven't been able to access my account on my ipad for months now presumably because the ios is out of date. So I can sympathise; it is frustrating when older systems are no longert compatible. I've been a client...

I've only just logged into mine now but all is working OK. Have you tired using a different browser?

I am assuming you are in the UK with this answer. If you are buying and owning the actual shares, then you can only lose your investment ie if the company goes out of business, your investment is worth nothing. It is also possible to trade using derivatives, such as CFDs. In this instance you...

Genius !

Yes it's the 1040NR form; and I agree it seems a bit complex. I think you have to obtain a Tax Identity number as well, so a bit of a hassle, but obviously worth doing. Good luck

I'm pretty sure there's a reclaim process. I'll try to find the form reference, but in view of the amounts involved it might be worth paying an accountant to sort it out?

Oh sorry I misunderstood; I'm not sure if there is a way to do that

Not an IG employee, but I do have an account with them. I was referring to the fact that if the question is asked, we'll realise it's most likely you asking it. They most likely do know who's asking the questions, but unless you're posting dodgy stuff I don't think it would be detremental to you.

Thanks for the additional info. Looking at their site again I now see they're offering 1% cashback on new ISA funds deposited by the end of April. (Looks like existing clients are elible too as long as it's not an ISA you hold) Anyway I think I'm going to give it a go for 2024/25, with the...

iDealing offer an investment club account. Its a trading account but you can obviously store funds in there and it is set up with the proper legal requirement etc. Obviously only any good if they offer the instruments you want to trade / invest in. Maybe worth a look?

Yes this is possible. If you go to the IG community section you can change your username once every 30 days by the looks of things. We might know it's you though ;)

Hi both and thanks for responding. 'Amazing' was probably the wrong adjective to use and I'm normally a lot more measured before use terms like that. My comparison was based on the fact I trade UK and US shares through my ISA. I pay £3 (£6 round trip) on UK, and £0 on US, but 1.5% FX fee on...
