Not sure if that is really related, but the Demo account stopped working properly around last Friday. The Price is normally displayed in Dollars, but then the charts are somehow in Cents (4.51 v 451) and it keeps jumping between one or the other. StopLoss and Limits can't be used properly as the standard distance used to be in pts = cents, but now it tells you 10 pts is too much and if you try to move the lines directly on the charts, it jumps to cents again, limits jump from 10pts to 1100 points, when reflected back to the charts, it sets the SL/L miles away and screws up everything.

This happens in my Demo account and seems to be browser agnostic, started appearing around last Friday and also caused more issues (like error messages "can't execute order, because it is too far away from current price = when using 8pts distance etc...)

The platform is unusable as it is.

I'd say someone screwed up last code release big time. QA and UAT should have picked that up days ago.

I raised a request with email support (no reply yet). How can we raise stuff with tech support of IG?

Just an update, this is still an issue... I thought I was the only one affected...
Thanks for reporting this DSchenk.  Honestly, its in IG's best interest to get the demo version working, I doubt anyone will jump right in and test their algo trading strategies with a live account 😕

    • Here are some general tips that may help you in your crypto trading endeavors: 1. Educate Yourself: Gain a solid understanding of how cryptocurrency markets work, including technical analysis, chart patterns, fundamental analysis, and market indicators. Continuously educate yourself about the latest trends and developments in the cryptocurrency space. 2. Develop a Trading Strategy: Define a clear trading strategy based on your goals, risk tolerance, and time commitment. This strategy should include entry and exit points, stop-loss orders, and profit targets. Stick to your strategy and avoid making impulsive decisions based on emotions. 3. Start with a Demo Account: Many exchanges, including Bitget, offer demo accounts or simulated trading environments. Use these features to practice your trading strategies without risking real money. It allows you to gain experience and assess the effectiveness of your approach. 4. Use Proper Risk Management: Set a risk management plan that includes determining the amount of capital you're willing to risk per trade. Avoid risking too much of your capital on a single trade. Consider using stop-loss orders to limit potential losses. 5. Technical Analysis: Learn how to analyze price charts and identify patterns and trends that can help you make informed trading decisions. Use technical indicators and tools to assist you in your analysis. 6. Stay Informed: Stay updated with news and events that can impact the cryptocurrency markets. Follow reliable sources, join cryptocurrency communities, and pay attention to announcements related to the cryptocurrencies you trade. 7. Start Small and Gradually Increase: It's generally advisable to start with a small amount of capital and gradually increase your position size as you gain experience and confidence in your trading abilities. 8. Control Emotions: Emotions can impact trading decisions. Avoid making impulsive trades based on fear or greed. Stick to your trading plan and remain disciplined. 9. Consider Diversification: Diversify your cryptocurrency portfolio to spread the risk. Investing in a variety of cryptocurrencies can help mitigate potential losses if one particular asset underperforms. 10. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: The cryptocurrency market is highly dynamic, so it's crucial to continuously learn and adapt your trading strategies. Stay open to new ideas and adjust your approach as per market conditions.
    • Analysts have noted a historical correlation between crypto prices and the stock market, particularly in relation to interest rate decisions. Post FOMC decision witness Bitcoin’s price showed little change drop to about 0.17% on the day while other crypto like the Bitget BGB recorded a mild gain. Crypto market analyst TXMC has warned of a potential recession in 2024 due to tight credit conditions, which could influence both stock and Bitcoin prices.
    • If that's the case, then I believe the next step is for the dev team to create an in-app EVM wallet that can process payment natively for PayPal users who wishes to use the stablecoin for transaction on the platform
