IG

Maybe not the smartest choice

Before setting an account I did a lot of research about different brokers. About IG most of the reviews on different websites bring out more positive features than problems. On the other hand forums have mainly negative feedback. I didn't had issues with account registration, but as soon as I got problems (delays) regarding deal closing I started to look alternatives. Depending on the strategy it may be even a good broker to choose (for wide choice of investments), but regarding Binaries where execution time is crucial it is not a very good solution. Now I have focused my time to eToro (in my opinion the most comprehensive review about that broker is at [Link Removed]. If you google this broker you'll find a lot of information and feedback. Bad thing is that US traders are not allowed. Otherwise seems to be a fair platform and I really like the feature of copying professional traders.

Robbed

I placed a position with IG Gold in 1 hour it showed a profit $6250 then started to go down so I took a profit $$5250-5150+/- the position closed the next day on my statement said this never happened it closed out and I lost 250+/- sterling could not belevie it anyone eles had problems like this?

Ig...be careful

As others have stated I think IG's trading platform is excellent, in fact, probably the best. However watch these guys. I built my trading account up to 21,500. The markets have shown some srength in recent days and with confidence opened a 200pp position on the germany 30 at 5596. I imagine many traders would have opened similar positions on the euros strongets economy to show some strength after hitting a prior support. So....IG decided to push the price down to take out all the stops, even when my account was significantly down, the strength in the german index was sufficient to allow the rade to continue. Anyway, IG pushed the price down so much, it wiped out the account.....now look where the german index is. Needless to say the account would now be showing 50,000 plus at the time of writing. IG knew they would be paying out alot of money on this index, so took the price down to take out all the stops. Be careful with this company.

Great Selection of markets run by rookies.

I can't help it. Their platform is great to look at. Their range of products is extensive and generally their fills are great until now.

It's a great platform and i will always have an account with them and it is my main broker for trading currently, but recently i don't know whether they changed their dealing system, but recently i've been rejected quite alot more when the market moves as little as 0.1 of a tick on 10 a point even on FX. It's just frustrating, because most of the time i don't care what the price is and i just want to be filled.

I think i am blacklisted though with them, so i don't know if everyone is experiencing this. It's still a great platform.

The problem with IG is that, there are like the clever kid in class who doesn't work hard and always gets C for effort but A for attainment. They are still the best and theres no real reason for them to reject trades.

Had a trade deleted today. No call, no email, no nothing. Shocking service. You can't expect much from them, given their terrible overpaid staff.

Poor

I found ig easy to use and simple but thats where the positives stop.

There spreads are massive and executions rubbish especially on a quick moving price.

My advice is stay well clear IG index.
