Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good their charting software is? I have tried ALL other charting software...even Gocharting which is a close second imo. I see most broker platforms are now using tradingview charts now instead of proprietary versions which were abysmal.
If you are day you've got bigger problems than the church LOL. They just did a study that 92% of day traders lose money and the remaining 8% barely break even.
They are a company focused on giving you charts. They must be good, otherwise they will not stay in the game for long. Trading view is way ahead of the rest. They have a library called lightweight-charts for developers that is amazing. You can plug it in any of your projects and will have the best charts out there for free. They even have developers that help you out to build your own project when something gets hairy. It has become the standard.
According to IG markets on their website: CFDs are complex instruments. 72% of retail client accounts lose money when trading CFDs, with this investment provider. You can lose your money rapidly due to leverage. Please ensure you understand how this product works and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing money.
I still remember when IG blocked everyone's access at the time the guys at WallStreetBets were pumping the Gamestop stock. They didn't even blink, they cut everyone's access for 2 days. That broker is a fucking joke with their shitty spread betting.
It was a YouTube video I think by coffeezilla. Apparently less than 1% of day traders can outperform just holding an index fund.
