IG Securities, the Japanese subsidiary of electronic trading major IG Group, today issued a notification to traders regarding market conditions.

In the current market situation, there are occasions when smooth trading is difficult. In addition, depending on the announcement of trade measures expected in the future, further sudden changes in the market are expected.

In order to prevent forced settlement of held positions, IG asks traders to maintain sufficient funds in their accounts. Please note that additional deposit procedures are restricted, especially on weekends when financial institutions are closed.

Depending on the market risk situation, IG may be forced to immediately change trading conditions such as margin rates.

In this type of market environment, it is effective to optimize position sizing, utilize no-slippage orders, set settlement orders at appropriate price levels, and keep track of the status of your existing positions.
