What are trading signals?
Trading signals are actionable ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ suggestions, based on technical or fundamental analysis. You can choose to have signals sent directly to you, as opportunities in selected markets arise, and use them to help you decide how to trade.
The signal service does not constitute and should not be regarded as investment advice. IG provides an execution only service. You act on the signals entirely at your own risk.
Examples of trading signals
View signals at a glance
Use the signals pane in-platform to view signals for your desired markets at a glance, including provider, direction and time frame.
Access technical signals
This is an example of a technical signal. Here you’ll get chart analysis of your selected market, along with entry and exit price targets to inform your trade.
Set up fundamental signals
Here’s what a fundamental signal looks like. Together with concise market analysis, you’ll also get to see entry and exit points, support and resistance levels and the provider’s level of confidence in the signal.

You can get trading signals – both fundamental and technical – on popular forex markets.
How reliable are trading signals?
Trading signals can prove complementary to a strategy when employed as part of a broader analysis toolkit. However, no warranty is given as to the accuracy or completeness of the information, and any person acting on it does so entirely at their own risk.
Who provides trading signals for IG?
Our signals come directly from third-party providers – Autochartist and PIA-First.
What devices can I get trading signals on?
You can access signals on mobile devices via the IG Trading app, and on desktop with the IG Trading platform.
What’s the difference between a trading alert and a trading signal?
Trading alerts can be created to notify you of the most recent economic releases, price level changes and when your technical conditions are met. Trading signals inform you of significant trends or patterns in the markets that could lead to a trading opportunity.
