Hi TopCatz. IG create their own spread and sometimes that is huge, they do this to hit stops. They can see where your trades are, long or short, and move their spread to aim for your stops. It matters not a jot to them what price is shown on the LSE. They can move their spread any % they want. My punt on gold was very very small just to try out their system, i had a stop at 20% below spot and the spread was increased for minutes to hit the stop then closed me out only to return to normal levels. They are bent in the extreme. Give them due credit for warning punters up front that they will lose their money. ATB Speedy
