How reliable are trading signals?
Trading signals are a great way to have chart patterns, which can constitute 'buy' and 'sell' opportunities, recognised and analysed automatically - taking some legwork out of your analysis. They're a useful part of your broader analysis toolkit. However, you act on them entirely at your own risk - thy're never a sure thing.
Who provides trading signals for IG?
Our signals come directly from third-party providers – Autochartist and PIA-First.
What devices can I get trading signals on?
You can access signals on mobile devices via the IG Trading app, and on desktop with the IG Trading platform.
What’s the difference between a trading alert and a trading signal?
You'd set a Trading alert to notify you of the economic releases, price changes or a chart meeting your technical conditions (which might be a signal in itself). Our trading signals inform you of significant trends or patterns in the markets that could lead to a trading opportunity.
