Question

Hi - I've got a demo account with IG and have an IG supplied MT4 on my desktop computer.  I've tried to download a copy for my laptop using my login details that I have for the web based IG platform. It wont let me download it - I would like to keep the original account  - is this possible? Can i use a web based MT4 with IG? - Thanks in advance - Phil

Hi, the mt4 and web based login, password details are different but once download you should have the mt4 setup file in your downloads folder (ig4setup) so you can transfer that to any other windows computer but you should be able to just download mt4 without any other input.

IG don't have their own web based mt4 version but you only need the connection to the IG server so on any mt4 go to File > Open an Account and in the Trading Servers pop up box look for IG Group Limited in the dropdown or type that into the 'add new broker'. Sometimes they ask for IG's registered number which is 443

    • Hi all. I have a chunk of cash sitting around and don't really want to allocate it to equities or anything too risky so I was hoping to pick up some regular coupons from something like non-junk bond. I've tried to find bonds on my ISA or Share Dealing account but they don't really seem to exist. I can't find bonds nor ETFs of bonds...  Also can someone help me to understand - like I don't want to bet on the value of bonds or rates going up. I only care about dumping cash in bonds and receiving regular coupons. I understand that the prices of bonds go up and down and therefore you may make a gain/loss on your principal if you sell before maturity, but I kinda want a low-risk bond and want to hold it to maturity. Or at least something that has that kind of risk-reward profile.
