thanks for your posts bluehorseshoe, very useful information. when trading shares as opposed to indices, they also charge a trading fee on top of the spread which can affect your ability to get in and out of trades with a quick profit. they can be used to hedge a trade too, if you have, or purchase actual stocks, it can be useful to short a percentage via spreadbetting.

I've used IG markets for years and never had any problems (although I did lose out quite heavily on the "flash crash" when it happened as my stops were wiped out.
