So, if you had made a fat finger profit, would they have rang you and claimed the money back?
Phoning up and "wondering what was happening" describes the calibre of their service quite aptly.
How many customers do you think they have? Do you know how many of their customers are consistent winners? No...You're a failed dreamer have a go day-trader...deal with it, let it go, and move on. Come back to *us* when it's over..
Totally agree.
The only ones who complain are the ones who lost money and seek to blame anyone but themselves.
Yes SB is not perfect and you do get slippage but if you cannot make a profit without a "perfect" service you seem to expect, then you should steer well clear of trading.
Slippage is a fact of trading no matter what the platform. If 2-3 pips is ruining your profit then your "trading system" is simply unrealistic and untradable.

Hallo folks,
Oh dear, the ever so friendly and good people of IG index are taking me to bankruptcy court. Have I got a chance?
I refused to pay them because I came to the conclusion that they did not act in accordance with their order execution policy. Rejected trades, delays, platform freezes, wrong information, fob offs etc. I decided that they had not acted to obtain the "best possible results for our clients". Its not a big amount and I wasn't trading large amounts (compared to what I have seen on this board!). I went through the process of the compliance department who would not let me see my account activity so that I could make my complaint in full. In the end they rejected my complaint sent me a Statutory Demand and are taking me to Bankruptcy court.
Anyone been to bankruptcy court with IGIndex and won?
Anyone know the terms and conditions inside out?
Have I got a chance or should I just pay them? That is the question???
as an experiment I bet both ways on the ftse 100. not once did it go into a profit. it always seemed to of consolidated inbetween where I placed my bets/trades.

On a limited account with IG, trading EU, it'll cost you (at best) a 2 pip spread, more likely 3/4. Then they charge you what, 3 pip for the GS? So at fill you may be 6-7 pips offside. Even if you have a micro from FXCM the same fill will cost you consistently 2-3 pips...50% less.
Agree to 1000%. If you want to SB (for a living) then swing or position trade with them (the key word there being WITH ), anything else is suicide...it's a slow or quick death of your choice, but the end result is the same...
mcd do you have a controlled risk account? because it strikes me that if 50% of your trades are being 'slipped' 2-3 pips on currencies the most likely explanation is that you are being charged controlled risk premium on your opening trades and in fact not being slipped at all.
Hi Shortsell, I have a regular plus account. As mentioned in an older post I did contact IG Index saying the percentage of slipped stops seemed quite high but they replied that such slippage is "... both fair and reasonable...the only way to fully eliminate such a risk would be to trade with a guaranteed stop in place..." Their attitude was politely dismissive. However, since I contacted them, the average slippage has mysteriously halved to a more realistic level and more are now filled with zero slippage.
