“The website and mobile app work quite well. With all the recent market volatility, I've not had any cases of being unable to access the platforms. I've increased my trading activity in the last 7 months, and in this time I've never had a re-quote.
Stable technology, no re-quotes, and a wide range of instruments to trade on, all these combine to make IG my preferred Spread betting firm.
One thing I would love to see are Option extended to cover equities on the spread betting platform”
“problem still not resolved. Took over 24hrs to reply to my first email in relation to the trade in question. Have waited another 12hrs+ for a response to my last reply, but still nothing. If this is the way customer service looks after its clients of over 15yrs working with you, then expect an exodus of clients to other brokers keen for business. Thank you, Keith (M2700)”
“Just like any other rip off companies. It trading against the professionals. You can never win.
No matter what market does. the moment you take the trade it goes against you and you are immediately in a loosing trade, although all indicators and trend and market is going the direction you think it will go but as soon as you take a trade it always goes opposite direction. I never gained. I have been stupid. Be careful you are trading against the machine and professionals, Remember they invested millions in system not for some novice trades like me and you to win but that investment is for them to make money not for you and me.”
“Platform constantly crashes.
Recently when closing a trade, platform crashed and I lost money as a result.
Despite acknowledging the platform failure, IG staff refused to compensate me for the small loss.
Mobile app is very unstable on iOS”
“Focused on new business rather than existing clients. Not the usual approach in a small market like Ireland. Maintaining the business of existing clients should be much more on their agenda.”
“IG its should be spreadbet not binary options, but u guys charging money for pips like one of them. incresing value in each one them in major fx and indecies ove 100%. outrageous”
“ProRealTime charts very good & good value
Prompt trade entry at requested level vast majority of the time
Reasonable spreads but could be better
Trade risk sometimes too high - less than £1/pip would be useful
Overnight charges on the high side”
“Would by good if IG offered a demo account to run along side the main trading account allowing the testing of different trading strategy's without the risk of losing money.
Demo accounts are offered by other company's`”
