.png/jcr:content/renditions/rendition-1200.webp){kind=icon}
Collateral service
Use up to 95% of your IG share dealing account as margin for leveraged trades.
More markets and products
Trade our full range of cryptocurrencies, as well as our digital 100s.
Check out more pro features.
The IG professional account is for professional traders only, and retail protections don’t apply. Learn more about what you should be aware of, and what you’ll forgo.
Lower margins
Get the freedom to make your trading capital go further. As a pro, you’ll pay less margin to open positions than a retail trader.
Want to know more about what trading with us will cost you? Call us on 0800 195 3100.
Things to know
As a professional, you’ll be treated differently to retail traders. Here are some of those differences to be aware of.
Higher leverage
Pro traders are not subject to ESMA leverage caps in place to protect retail clients, so should consider their risk appetite.
No negative balance protection
Losses can exceed deposits on a professional account.
Sophisticated language
We won't necessarily use simple language in our communications to pro clients.
Assumed experience
We expect pro traders to have a certain level of knowledge and understanding.
Questions about becoming a pro trader with us, or anything else? Give us a call on 0800 195 3100.
More pro features
Qualify for an IG professional account, and you’ll also have access to a range of features not available to retail traders.
Credit facilities
Get bespoke margin call levels and more by arrangement, to help improve the efficiency of your account.
Waived fees
So that you can keep more of your returns, you won’t pay custody fees in an IG share dealing account – or management fees on an IG Smart Portfolio.
Exclusive invitations
Be the first to know about the events we run – whether premium hospitality, or a seminar or webinar.
