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, 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. Most clients will need to have a minimum £1000 cash balance on their account.
2. Choose which platform you'd like to trade on: download our mobile trading app, or download our specialised L2 dealer.
3. If you choose to trade via our app, you will need to give us a call to request DMA access.
