DMA with IG
Our DMA service allows you to trade CFDs on underlying market prices and depth. DMA prices are not necessarily better than OTC (over-the-counter), as our pricing technology is engineered to find the best available prices for both. However, direct access to the markets can give you greater visibility and flexibility as a trader.
There are many added complexities to the trading environment, which can be an increased risk. When you place your order we take a position in the underlying market and at the same time you enter into a parallel CFD trade with us in the equivalent value (size and price). This means we can’t change or reverse your order once it’s been executed.
Getting started
- To trade DMA with IG you need to open an account and activate DMA within our web-based dealer. Most clients will need to have a minimum $1500 cash balance on their account to activate DMA.
- You can then choose to activate the data feeds you need.
- Then choose which platform you’d like to trade on: our web-based dealer and iPhone/iPad apps, the specialised L2 Dealer, or your own front-end technology.
