Our free forex trading signals deliver professional market analysis directly to you. Get real-time trading signals and forex signals for CFDs on indices, commodities and currency pairs.

What are trading signals?

Trading signals provide "buy" or "sell" indicators that help you identify potential opportunities across multiple markets. They're designed to support your trading decisions, though you should always trade at your own risk as these signals aren't investment advice.

Disclaimer: Our signal service does not constitute and shouldn’t be regarded as investment advice. IG provides an execution only service. You act on signals entirely at your own risk.

What’s the difference between a trading alert and a trading signal?

You'd set trading alerts to notify you of the economic releases, price changes, a chart meeting your technical conditions (which might be a signal in itself). Our trading signals inform you of significant trends or patterns in the markets that could lead to a potential trading opportunity.
