Can't see IG/IG-DEMO server on MetaTrader 4

Question

Posted

When I click add account on MetaTrader, I can't see IG in the options for server. 

I have searched for IG but still found nothing.

When I opened an IG (real) account it gave me an email to use mt4.ig.com:443 server but when I follow through on that in Metatrader it just links back to the IG website telling me to sign up for a IG live account and then when I fill it out it says I already have an account.

When I try to sign up for a demo account in my ig section the button doesn't work.

Also the setup on MT4 is different to the demo account setup email I got so I can't seem to follow it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Hi @piersft,

You can create an MT4 demo by following these steps:

1: Open your MT4 terminal and go to file->open an account

2: If you installed MT4 from the IG website the IG server addresses should already be added by default.

If not then you can easily add them by clicking on the green + symbol and entering:

MT4.IG.COM:443 for Live and DEMO-MT4.IG.COM:443 for the Demo server. Once you entered the address click on scan and ensure that you are able to see a ping number next to the server address to confirm a successful connection.

3: Select the IG demo server and click next, then select "New demo account" and click next again:

4: Fill in the demo application (you have to tick the newsletter box otherwise it won't let you continue):

Take note of the account type:

Forex is for a CFD account and the currency in the suffix determines your demo base currency. Betting is for a Spreadbet account. US FX is for clients based in the US.

-Click next to continue

5: You should now see a window confirming that your demo account is ready for use and a section providing you with your demo login and password. Click finish to complete the account creation journey and start using your MT4 demo.

Hope this helps!

    • Ethereum price today remains stable, extending gains above $3,750 and outperforming Bitcoin. ETH price surged above key resistance levels at $3,800 and $3,880, climbing to $3,988 before consolidating. While Ethereum's price dipped slightly below $3,920, it maintains strong support at $3,840, underpinned by a bullish trend line and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Ethereum Price Prediction indicates a potential rise beyond $4,000 if the bulls clear resistances at $3,950 and $3,980. A breakout could see Ether price rally to $4,150 or even $4,320. However, failure to breach $3,980 might lead to a pullback, with supports at $3,750 and $3,665 acting as critical levels. The Ethereum ecosystem's growth supports bullish ETH price predictions. Key metrics reveal a 31% surge in Total Value Locked (TVL) to $78 billion, with Layer-2 solutions adding $11 billion. The Ethereum network’s dominant 47% DApp volume share underscores its expanding utility. Despite some skepticism from critics, Ethereum price prediction 2024 and Ethereum price prediction 2025 remain optimistic due to rising DeFi adoption, staking innovations, and Federal Reserve rate expectations. With growing institutional interest, Ethereum news today highlights the network's resilience. As ETH coin solidifies its position, many wonder: Is a new ETH all-time high imminent?
