IG Markets offers tight spreads, low margins and a huge range of currency pairs as part of our comprehensive award-winning forex service.
Trading forex with IG Markets is very similar to trading our Share CFDs. You buy or sell at our live price and put forward a fraction of the full contract value as a deposit. One key difference is that there is no commission to pay on any of our non-equity markets. All our charges are included in the dealing spread.
Our spread is just 2 pips for AUD/USD, EUR/USD and EUR/GBP, with 3-pip spreads on all other leading major currency pairs.
To see our full list of more than 50 currency pairs, check out our forex contract details.
Forex options
Ideal for the short-term trader, our daily and weekly Options are available on some of the most popular forex pairs.
Each trading day we offer a full range of Call and Put Options on AUD/USD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD and EUR/GBP. Daily options expire at 7 a.m. (AEDT) based on the spot rate, and our weekly Options expire each Friday at 10am (New York time)
As with our standard forex contracts, the quote is "all-in", so there is no additional commission to worry about. For full information on Daily Options.
Forex binaries
Forex Binary Options are ideal for the short-term trader who wants the potential for significant short-term gains with a strictly limited risk.
How it works
A Binary allows you to take a view on whether a specific outcome will or will not occur. For example, will USD/JPY close up on the day?
If the answer is 'yes', the Binary settles at 100
If the answer is 'no', the Binary settles at 0
Binary Options offer the following benefits:
- Dramatic short-term movements
- Strictly limited risk
- Wide range of markets
- Continuous dealing prices
- Go long or short
- Commission-free
With over 30 years of experience in forex, you can rely on IG Markets.
All trades are executed immediately, and there is no need to worry about the daily rollover. Cut out the hassle and paperwork that goes with traditional forex trading. For more information please refer to our website.
