How much does ProRealTime cost?
As an IG client you get ProRealTime charts free for your first month. After that, you still won’t pay for ProRealTime if you trade at least four times in a given month.
If you don't, or your trading activity is of extremely low value, you’ll pay a £30 fee on the last day of every month.
