IG Index FX spreads

[fiftyfifty]

Hi

Sorry for the thread but my search brought back way to many hits.

Would someone be able to tell me the spreads on EUR/USD and Yen/USD for daily and quarterly bets? Also what is the leverage without a stop in place (i.e. for every £1 stake what needs to be on deposit to cover the bet)?

Thanks for your help

EUR/USD
Spot spread: 2 pips
Near and Far Quarter spread: 12 pips

USD/JPY
Spot spread: 3 pips
Near and Far Quarter spread: 12 pips

Deposit factor is 200 for all of the above, so you need £200 for a £1 stake. But you can reduce that by having your S/L closer. Also, the minimum stake for all of the above is £0.5.

roguetrader,

Are you phoning-in those £200/pip trades or using their new on-line platform ? If the latter what are the
fill speeds and frequency of re-quotes like at that bet size ?
