IG Review
Overview
IG (1974) is a listed, globally regulated broker and one of the most established names in the industry, accepting traders in the US, UK, Australia and many other markets.
Pros
- Regulated by the FCA, ASIC, NFA/CFTC (US) and more
- Huge instrument range
- Excellent platform and charting
- Listed company with a long track record
- Strong research
Cons
- Spread-only gold pricing rather than raw plus commission
- Premium feel comes with standard, not raw, pricing
- Leverage capped in regulated regions
Gold (XAUUSD) trading conditions
IG uses spread-only pricing on gold CFDs, so there is no separate commission to add. That makes the quoted spread the whole cost, which is unusual among brokers at this regulatory level.
