When placing share orders with IG, the minimum order consideration is determined by the currency of the exchange you are trading on, not your account currency.
Minimum order requirements by exchange
| Exchange | Country | Currency | Minimum consideration |
| ASX | Australia | AUD | $90 |
| NYSE/NASDAQ | United States | USD | $90 |
| LSE | United Kingdom | GBP | £90 |
| XETRA | Germany | EUR | €90 |
| ISE | Ireland | EUR | €90 |
Important notes
- The minimum consideration applies to the total order value, not the individual share price
- Applies to both buy and sell orders
- Exception for sell orders: You may place an order below the minimum consideration if it is to close your entire position in that stock
- The minimum is based on the exchange currency, regardless of your account’s base currency
Example
- If you are buying shares on the ASX, your order must be worth at least AUD $90
- If you are buying US shares on NYSE/NASDAQ, the minimum order value is USD $90
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You do not own or have any interest in the underlying asset. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Please consider the Margin Trading Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Risk Disclosure Notice and Target Market Determination before entering into any CFD transaction with us.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through an IG share trading account can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
