Is it possible to open a demo account for basic stock investing / trading i.e. not a CFD or Spread Betting demo account?

thanks.

Hi Ben10,

Unfortunately we do not offer Demo accounts with Share dealing only. You can buy shares through leverage on the Demo though.

How do I buy Mandrake Resources (ASX) on a demo account?  Mine says "CLOSING DEALS ONLY - IG is not accepting opening trades on this market, you may only place an order to close."

Initially I thought it was because my first attempts were before the market opened at 10am, but now that the market's open and I can see trades for Mandrake going through like usual (and even bought some myself via another broker) I still can't place an order for same in my IG test account.

Hi @emexes,

Mandrake Resources Ltd is not available to trade on leveraged account (CFD). You can see that information is available on the info tab on the dealing ticket:

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
