“the things you want as a trader ... speed of execution, good fills, limited risk and downside protected by guaranteed stops. This is all included. Could do with DRIP on share dealing, but their prime spread betting offering is dope. Nice customer service as well.”
“Great platform, 99% of trades executed instantly except in extreme volatility, try contacting your broker at such times :)
Deposits in AND withdrawals are within the time frames they state or quicker.
Only times I've been burnt are because of my own dozy mistakes. I'm guessing by reading many online comments about this or other trading sites being crooked are because people don't fully understand what they are doing.”
“I find the platform easy to use and seems to never suffer from any downtime. I use both the App and the web version and find it is my preferred trading platform.”
“I have always had a positive experience with IG
The only addition I would like to see is trailing stops by time rather than distance, i. e. trailing along a trendline”
“I have used IG for around five years. They are the best spread betting company, they provide a super efficient service, and they really look after their clients. Contrary to what many people believe, they want theirclients to make money on the market, as they make their profit from the bid/offer spreads.”
“Have been with IG since it's start - Stuart Wheeler,an old friend asked me to provide a character reference for him as he was starting a "bookie company" as this was needed to start IG!! IG has steadly improved over the years and I trade nearly every day. I particularly like your daily news and analysis on shares, indices,Dow and Footsie, forex etc. this helps my tradeing and is a welcome fairly new service - keep it up!”
“In the years I have used IG I have always been impressed with the speed & re activeness of the spread-betting platform along with the professional attitude of the staff on the odd occasion I have needed advice.
I have tried various other companies but have yet to find one which can match the overall satisfaction levels IG provide.

“I have been using IG platform for spread betting for approx. 5 years since I switched away from CMC markets. The layout is simple and easy to use, I hope that it remains that way.
I am a serious trader who is already growing my account funds so that I may become a professional, IG will be my only choice.
To me, one of the most important tools, is to be able to look back at past market data on the charts, all the way back to 1996. It enables me to evaluate strategies that I wish to use, and back test the data in fine detail, even the industry sector charts.
There are some minor changes that I would like to see in future, if I contact IG about my views I believe that IG will listen.”
“I am a little suspicious when my Stops are hit and then it goes back to what would have been my favour.
You must have the same price (within a few points) as the Markets so that the Stops can be verifiable and beyond query.”
