IG UK: automation and product routing

Distinguish EA runtime, charting and product access before moving platforms.

On this page 4 sections

Web is not an EA runtime

The current table marks online/mobile automated trading No. MT4 is described for automation, while tastytrade targets US options/futures. Shared account access does not establish a shared runtime.

Ask the product question

A Forex-CFD EA is not presumed to run on a share-investing account. The footer assigns products to separate companies; check account, server, symbol and required order types before moving.

Costs follow the configuration

A free platform does not remove spread, funding or specialist-tool charges. Check the tool schedule and required usage; ProRealTime conditions cannot become an unconditional free promise.

Verify the workflow

In demo, inspect manual entry/amend/close before automated orders and logs. GSL support on one interface does not prove every integration supports it. This is a proposed workflow, not an EA or performance test.
