Unstable Demo Platform


TraderX100

Question

I have been using the demo platform for some time and have experienced difficulty with stability of charts on all instruments and timeframes. A chart will display correctly until I click on the SELL or BUY buttons, at which point the chart collapses. I then expand the chart by stretching the vertical axis, which rectifies it. This problem delays action to trade because I normally look again at the chart prior to execution. Then when I click "Place Deal" the chart collapses again. This is quite annoying, but more importantly I could not put money at risk with this delaying / distracting factor at play. It is also very annoying to say the least, as I spend too much time correcting the chart. I have sent an email to customer support but they did not reply. It may be a fault with my PC. One way or another I would appreciate any advice from members who may have experienced this issue. Suggestions on how to fix it most welcome.

Many thanks,

Mike

Hi @TraderX100 Mike,

Thank you for sharing the screenshots. The chart is zooming out to display the your order level, limit and stop. As the limit is far from the current price it needs to zoom out to be visible.

You can remove the feature "Position Preview"  by right clicking on the chart > Show :

I hope that it helps !

All the best - Arvin

Today I tested IG platform on my second PC. It has exactly the same issue described in my first post. Both are modern computers, running on Windows 10 and software kept up to date. Therefore, I have to conclude that the problem is with IG.  Also, IG failed to answer my email so maybe this problem is by design, because it is a demo account. If this is so then I do understand why and will accept that explanation but thus far, nobody at IG has clarified the matter. 

Yours confused

Hi @TraderX100,

Thank you for your post. 

Our Demo platform is running on a different server as our Live Platform.

Could you please advise on which market you are facing this issue. If possible could you please attach a screenshot?

Thank you - Arvin

Hi @ArvinIG,

Thank you for help with is issue. As requested please see two screenshots of Nasdaq 5m. The first shows the normal display and the second shows the collapsed display after clicking Sell. The same thing happens when I click buy or sell or execute the trade so that I am constantly fixing the screen by stretching the chart back to normal. This issue occurs on all instruments and timeframes. 

With thanks

Hi @ArvinIG,
The same fault occurs on my IPad Pro 4th edition, which is only 2 weeks old, so the evidence strongly suggests the unstable displays are created by your servers and not my computers. I hope this assists your investigation. Since there are no other reports of this issue by IG Community members , I have to conclude it is unique to me.

Kind regards

Mike

    • Insightful write up. Personally, I use top down analysis to mark my pivot points and i prefer to call them zones. As seen from my ETH chart below, i have been swinging the bullish ride with my top down analysis. 
    • One exchange that checks the box interms of my own requirement is bitgetglobal. The exchange is reputable for been compliant with regulations globally, its copy trading is the largest with over 100k elite traders and 540k followers, its trading fees is amongst the lowest in the industry. The one area i feel they need to improve on is their P2P. This area is lagging compared to that of Binance and Bybit.
    • Here's the next set of TIME CYCLES - I've had these dates on my charts since 2015 ish Please note this is just to show you that the markets are not random and we can TIME them - the AIM of this thread is to SHOW you that dates calculated years in advance can be significant These Time Cycles are not all of them, just the ones I wanted to show you, which are the INTERNAL cycles of a bigger Time Cycle - some will hit and some won't - REMEMBER, lots of active cycles are ALL operating at the same time Notice that there's not a TC for the 2022 high - the reason is that there was one, it's just not part of this series of TC's I'm showing you - Then when we look backwards in 2034, you'll be able to see market price action around the dates and you will KNOW these are not random dates thrown on a chart in the hope of hitting - because If you are ignore the latter dates (not yet shown) in the cycle, then you will come a cropper and when Investments are concerned that will mean LOSING lots of your money I'm still using the screenshot taken in Oct 2020 - Once we complete 2025, I'll update the chart with price data and take a screen shot from then on for the next cycles The THICK BLACK line is the mid-point of the cycle, which in the grand scheme of things "should / is expected to be" a significant LOW point when viewed back in time from 2034! - It WILL NOT be a major low, so don't expect a humungous price crash to it, it will NOT be how you are imagining it in your head right now Notice that most of those cycles are "LINKED" that's because they are the same cycle which repeats THT
