Hey everyone, glad to meet you...

I have been reading through a lot of the different classes, but can someone explain to me why it is a bad idea to be using igindex to trade on ? I have access to bloomberg all the time so have all the data i need.

Thanks very much

IG Index is a spread betting company not a forex broker.

Do they have charts?

When you say you have access to bloomberg all the time do you
mean just the currency prices?

If you feel happy & are making a profit then carry on with what you
are doing.

When you start to lose badly then come back & learn to trade forex.

I don't think daydreamer was implying that you'd crash and burn.

More of like the "if it's not broke, don't fix it" maxim.

Sorry I meant "if", if you start to lose badly then come back
& learn to trade forex.

This is a forex forum you will probably not get the full range of
answers you require, but if you "google", "spread betting forums"
the 1st heading after the affiliates will get you to a site which
has a whole forum on spread betting & a whole thread on "IG Index"

Hint: T2W

Have fun.

OK, but i am still not sure what you mean... i understand that ig index is a spread betting site, but what are the advantages of a site such as i trade over ig index ?
