IG Markets - PureDeal Online?

[MikeeK]

IG Markets are Dodgy - they say they don't requote. Instead they disallow the trade going through and then say "Sorry pirce is no longer valid, an effective re-quote." Don't believe in the marketing hype. This is esp the case if you start making some money they will punish you individually. I can record on my screen and play a vdo to prove this.

Hi all,
i've recently trialled a few of the CFD trading platforms going around, and keen to hear thoughts or reviews from anyone using PureDeal from IG Markets?

From what i've experienced so far, it is the easiest and most straight forward system i've found. Its web based, free, DMA, quick, easy stop losses, etc., greating charting, and IG seem to offer great commission rates, and no minimum balance needed.
From the test/demo trades i've made (won some, lost some of course...) it has clearly been the easist to manage and tweak to my preferences. Given its web based, i can also use it anywhere, from work, etc.

For a newbie trader like myself, it seems to have everything i need, and more. But maybe its the cynic in me thinking "this is a little too good?"

I dont want to sound like an ad for IG markets either, so please dont take my comments above as such. These are merely my early observations.

So, keen to hear if anyone has used it or experienced it, and if there is something fundamental i am overlooking here?

cheers

SO? You are playing with a synthetic market. Go play with the big boys and watch how much slippage you get, especially in a fast market. Take it on the chin like a grown up its a lot easier getting a fill with CFDs than chasing thin bids.
