TradingView,
the financial platform and social network for traders and investors, announced
today (Wednesday) the integration of IG, a publicly-listed provider of online
trading services and CFDs, into its broker ecosystem.
IG Joins TradingView’s
Broker Integration Platform
The
addition of IG to TradingView’s roster of integrated brokers offers users
direct access to IG’s trading services through the platform interface. This
integration allows TradingView’s community of traders and investors to leverage
IG’s offerings without leaving the platform.
Founded in
1974, IG is one of the few brokers that is publicly traded. The company serves
over 340,000 clients worldwide from 17 offices across five continents. The
broker offers spreads starting from 0.6 points on key FX pairs, 0.8 points on
major indices, and 0.1 points on commodities. Additionally, IG emphasizes
safety by holding client funds in segregated accounts.
“Now that
IG has joined the TradingView trading ecosystem, its services have become even
more accessible for our millions-strong community of traders and investors,”
TradingView commented. “To start navigating markets with IG, head to the
trading panel, find the broker’s icon, and log in with your IG account details.”
TradingView Enhances
Futures Data for SGX and ICE Futures Singapore
In a
separate announcement, TradingView revealed significant improvements to its
futures data offerings, specifically for contracts from the Singapore Exchange
(SGX) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE Futures Singapore).
One key
update allows users to choose between the settlement price and the last price
as the closing value on charts. The settlement price, calculated at the end of
the trading day by averaging final bid/ask prices and other values, offers
traders a more stable reference point for assessing gains or losses. Users can
easily switch between these options using the SET button at the bottom of the
chart or by adjusting settings in the chart menu.
Another
notable feature is the ability to back-adjust contracts in continuous futures.
This function helps smooth out price differences that occur when switching
between futures contracts, eliminating roll gaps. When a chart shifts to a new
contract, the system calculates a coefficient based on the price difference
between the old and new contracts, ensuring better alignment of previous
contracts and providing a more consistent historical view.
Lastly,
TradingView has introduced the ability to view open interest values for
Singapore futures. Open interest, representing the total number of active
contracts that haven’t been settled, is a crucial metric for gauging market
activity. Users can access this data through the “Indicators, Metrics
& Strategies” menu by searching for the Open Interest indicator.
These
updates are part of TradingView’s ongoing efforts to improve its platform,
which now provides access to over 2 million financial instruments worldwide
through hundreds of data feeds.
