Great Platform

I have used IG for many years as a trading platform and a place to increase my knowledge. I find that IG is a relative simple platform to use and not to complicated like some. It has a host of trading tools, indicators including quick purchase and sell options. It also host a variety of different types of investments to trade. Reviewed on: 15th January 2025

The platform is very good for beginners and more experienced traders.... The applications and layout are good to understand and allow even a novis trader to apply their learning on a daily basis.

9 years with IG (and counting)

I've traded with IG for 9 years and when comparing with other platforms, I've found it's the best. Well designed, easy to use website and app. Fast execution when closing and opening trades, a wide range of markets to trade, and high quality customer service . IG provides MT4, it would be good if MT5 was also provided. Reviewed on: 15th January 2025
