At IG Markets, we always look to give you the best price available. With our Price Improvement technology, our Australian clients saved over A$1 million during August 2011, alone.
Over the past few months, we've seen a sharp increase in market volatility. During these times, prices can fluctuate very quickly. August saw our busiest days on record in terms of transaction numbers. Typically, IG Group's 130,000 clients make over 5 million transactions per month. On August 9 alone, our trading platform processed almost 900,000. And PureDeal, our trading platform, performed exceptionally under this extreme load.
PureDeal offers a revolutionary Price Improvement feature that automatically detects any favourable price changes. It allows us to pass them on to you, if any is available when your trade is executed. There are no requotes - any improvement is simply marked on your deal confirmation.
How this might work in practise
You're looking to place a CFD trade on a major forex pair – AUD/USD.
Upon reports from China that their domestic consumption will continue to grow strongly in the second-half of 2010, you believe the Australian dollar will strengthen against the US dollar. IG Markets is quoting AUD/USD at 0.8836/0.8837, so you place an order to buy at 0.8837.
As your forex transaction is processed through PureDeal, the AUD/USD buy price rapidly falls to 0.8831 – a six pip move in your favour.
Normally you'd be unable to take advantage of this lower buy level. However, with PureDeal, any price improvement available is automatically detected. In this example, your deal confirmation will show your trade was executed at the more favourable buy price of 0.8831.
