IG Forex Trading Platform – How to Access News Events and Apply them to your Charts

The IG Trading Platform has breaking news and economic events fed directly to the platform via Reuters and Twitter. This allows users that place trades based on economic news to stay on top of current events extremely easy. On top of having news events routed directly to the platform, these events can also be placed directly on a chart at the time of occurrence, allowing traders to see how the event caused a reaction in the market.

The following video will guide traders through the process of accessing news events and how to apply them to their charts on the IG Trading Platform.
