Using IG ProRealTime


Recommended Posts

Hi,

So I'm new to trading and have recently started paper trading using the ProRealTime (Demo)  after using the IG web app (demo)  and I have ran into a few things I don't understand.

1. using ProRealTime doesn't feel like how I was spread betting before as now I can only select the QUANTITY of the stocks that I'm buying, but on the web app I could select the SIZE of by bet so it feels like I'm no longer spread betting but instead just buying and selling stocks.

2. Also on ProRealTime I don't understand the leverage when I place an order. An example being that I have £500 in by demo account but for some reason it allows me to execute trades where the stocks are worth a lot more than that and then when I cash out the money I lose/gain is a lot more than I was expecting and I don't know how to control or monitor this leverage.

3. On ProRealTime it won't let me view the amount of money or margin that I have in my account so that I constantly have to flick between the desktop app and the web brower app where it shows me all these details 

 I have a strange feeling that these issues might be individual to having a demo account as I can't find any youtube videos or articles that even talk about these problems. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated or if someone could let me know who I could talk to in order to understand these problems.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
