How much does ProRealTime cost?

As an IG client you get ProRealTime charts free for your first month. After that, you’ll pay a £30 fee on the last day of every month.

If the spread or commission IG earns on your trading activity is more than £15 a month, we will waive that month’s fee. Trading four or more full contracts in a month would typically be enough to qualify for the waiver of that month’s fee.
