Forex

IG Markets offers forex traders a wide range of competitively priced foreign exchange products.

With over 50 currency pairs, and daily and weekly options on the leading currency crosses, our browser-based trading platform is perfect for the short-term currency trader.

Competitive spreads

Standard retail client spreads start at 2 pips for selected currency pairs (E/$, E/£, A$/$), and stand at 3 pips for the other majors. Trading is usually commission-free, although we do allow introducers to add commission for their own tailored services. We offer spread-flexibility to suit our introducers' needs, and we are able to rebate generously from these levels.

Sophisticated software with streaming prices 

For fast-moving currency markets, only software that is quick and robust can provide the service that day traders require. Our browser-based platform streams thousands of prices to tens of thousands of regular clients. It also offers sophisticated charting, plus adjustable stop and limit levels, including Guaranteed Stops, on all currency pairs.

Mini and standard forex

We offer both contract sizes, so that clients can trade down to as little as $10,000 of currency. Our systems are equally comfortable handling multi-million dollar orders.

Flexible margining

Our typical margin rate for an uncovered forex position is 2%. Our deposits reflect the trader's use of stops so that, for example, a client trading E/$ with 50-point stops can typically gain leverage of over 200%.

A wide range of FX Option products

Daily and Weekly Options on the leading currency crosses give a more traditional way of taking a nuanced view of the market, while our unique Binary Options let clients speculate for highly leveraged returns, even on a quiet market day.

The depth and liquidity of the foreign exchange markets has produced huge growth opportunities for money managers and traditional brokers wishing to move away from standard equity trading. Our comprehensive forex service is well positioned to help our partners profit from this market.
