Trading platforms and apps
IG supports MetaTrader 4, TradingView and Proprietary platform. Availability can differ by account and legal entity.
MetaTrader 4 remains the most widely supported platform for expert advisors. If you rely on an existing EA, this is usually the deciding factor.
TradingView integration lets you trade from charts you may already use, removing the need to run a second platform for analysis.

Automated and copy trading
The broker reports support for expert advisers and automated strategies and API access. Automated strategies can fail, amplify losses or behave differently under changing market conditions.
The platform range is broad. Its main advantage is support for MetaTrader 4; the principal limitation is the absence of MetaTrader 5 and cTrader.
