IG is my main spread betting account because it's my favourite, it's as simple as that. I find the tear-off tickets and chart windows particularly useful as they allow me to arrange my screens the way I want them. The advanced charts are very good - so much so that I haven't got round to trying the MT4 offering yet! My only slight issue is that there is a requirement to place 2 trades per month in order to get the £30 monthly fee refunded. While I feel that's reasonable, I recently changed my trading pattern to a more long term outlook and as a result didn't fulfil the requirements - it would have been helpful if a warning had been sent, perhaps a week before the end of the month, to remind me that if I didn't place the necessary trades I wouldn't receive the refund. Other than that the only issue I've encountered has been a significant widening of spread overnight which resulted in a trade being stopped out - from the usual 2.5 pips to 12! However, it's only happened once so not a major concern. Overall I remain a very satisfied customer.
