FAQs
Who is IG?
We invented spread betting in 1974. Today, we’re the world’s No.1 choice for spread betting and contract for difference (CFD) trading.1 Our offerings enable you to explore countless opportunities through access to 17,000+ financial markets. You can trade or invest on our platform. When trading with us, you’ll take a position on the price movements of financial assets without owning them. When investing with us, on the other hand, you’ll become the owner of any assets that you buy.
Our business model is built around wanting you to trade or invest profitably – we don’t make any money from client losses. We’re a FTSE 250 company that’s regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We take measures to ensure that your money and assets are protected with us, eg keeping them in accounts that are separate from our own and not using them in the course of our business activities.
How can I start trading?
You can start trading with us by following these steps:
- Create a live account and fund it when you’re ready
- Select your opportunity after learning about trading and conducting careful analysis of the market you’re interested in
- Buy if you think the price of that particular market will rise or sell if you think it’ll fall (you can also take a neutral stance with US-listed options via our platform)
- Select your position size
- Take steps to manage your risk
- Open, monitor and close your position
Which platforms can I trade on?
There are several trading platforms available to you. With us, you can use the desktop or mobile version of our platform. You can also trade through specialist third-party platforms with us, eg algorithmic and automated trading platforms like MetaTrader 4 and ProRealTime.
