    Our only charges are a small commission – the same as an OTC trade.

    Depending on the exchange you wish to view or trade on, you may be liable to pay data fees.

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 parallel position in the underlying market, so we can’t change or reverse your order once it’s been executed.

Getting started

  1. To trade DMA with IG you need to open an account and activate DMA within our web-based dealer.
  2. You can then choose to activate the data feeds you need.
  3. 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.
