I see IG is a Market Maker, What does this mean?
A market maker is your counter-party to your trades. This means the broker takes the opposite position to your trade. So if you are buying, then the market maker is selling.
This is different from a no dealing desk broker who connects you with liquidity providers and have no involvement in your trade.
Can you explain what DMA trading is and if i should use it?
DMA stands for Direct Market Access. It means you have access to the order books at the exchange centres. While in theory, it means you can choose the cheapest prices available in the book, it takes a very skilled trader to take advantage of this and very few brokers offer DMA to retail traders.
