Inconsistent minimum bet sizes between DEMO and LIVE

[bug-or-feature]

Hi

Why are minimum bets on futures based spread bets and forwards inconsistent between DEMO and LIVE environments? Examples:

Natural Gas: DEMO £1.00, LIVE £0.50

Hong Kong HS50: DEMO £0.50, LIVE £0.10

USD/CAD Forward: DEMO £0.50, LIVE £1.00

It would be much easier for your customers to design and test strategies on the platform if minimum bet sizes were consistent

I'd appreciate a response from someone at IG

many thanks

Hi @bug-or-feature,

Thanks for your post. 

Please note that the minimum bet sizes are stipulated by our dealing desk and they might not be the same in the demo and live accounts.

Should you wish to trade smaller sizes, you can use an MT4 live account.

Thanks,
