Hello Casey and everyone.  I am struggling a little with MT4.

I down loaded the IG MT4 and successfully set up an account.  the first account I set up was a live account (which maybe I should not have at this stage and I can seem to be able to open a MT4 Demo Account with IG.  I thought that maybe I need to open another account and at some point, I would be asked if I want a live or DEMO account but this did not happen and vuala... I now have 2 live accounts and need to remove one.  So to do what I needed to find out how I can remove the second account and open a DEMO account, I opened up a new browser at the DASHBOARD and waited .. wait  .. waited but NO LIVE chat.  I closed this platform and re opened to still wait... with no chat.  spent a LONG time on you tube to work out how I may be able to do all of this but none of them were from IG.  Many other brokers had great information ... but not IG which has me questioning IG.

1. WHY does Chat not happen whenever I want it and pops up all the time when i dont.

2. How can I remove the second account

3. How can I set up a DEMO account one the MT4 platform so I can learn to use it.

I accept it is a bit harsh asking here but is there a broker for forex that has great support not unreasonable fee's...not necessarily the cheapest..?

 

Thankyou in advance

Hi ,  The second live account is not a big problem, the only important one is the one that you fund, the other can be deleted with a phone call or an email to the Aust IG helpdesk. For chat you need to open a new browser page and go to the IG Homepage (for IG Australia), at least that's how it works in UK.

 

MT4 demo is set up through MT4.  So start up MT4 and click 'File' top left corner the 'Open an Account', you should see a feed for both IG Live and IG Demo, click IG Demo then click next and follow the instructions taking note of the login number and password.

Once you have it set up with your charts save the profile so when you flick between demo and live you can load the same profile for both.

Click on the 'Navigator' icon to change between Live and Demo.

 

MT4 is third party not IG, so don't forget to look at the 'Help' tab on the platform. 

Let us know how you get on.

HI , Are you on MT4 and you have a connection (bottom right hand corner).

 

IG shuts down access to platforms for a couple of hours every Friday night around 10 pm for maintenance and updates.

 

Is the phone helpdesk 7 days a week? certainly should be on Sat morning, why did the cleaner even answer the phone?

 

The IG status page says all platforms are operational, and the new platform is giving Bitcoin prices.

Hi ,  I am a bit confused, this morning I saw an IG squawk tweet go through saying IG's indices markets were now open for weekend trading but I thought 'when did they start that, surely only the crypto markets were open on Saturday'. I checked the IG platform and it clearly stated the market for dax was closed.

 

Certainly now the MT4 server is up and running and feeding live prices on bitcoin but forex and indices are stopped at 9 pm Friday night as I would have expected.

    • Thanks THT. Great data. Pity Brokers do not have software of this calibre that would help traders a lot more, and quick work Price / Time charting. They offer the standard tools.  
    • Hi Skyreach, Thanks for the comment Yep, most charting software does not do it right, this is purely down to the SCALING of computer screens and the software - there is a solution though The perfect way is to find out the scaling for the market you're looking at (they are ALL different) - If you take the SP500 as an example and I think I showed this on my "Are the markets random" thread, the High of Jan 2022 to Oct 2022 was a PERFECT 1 x 1 down angle in terms of Gann - the scaling formula is EXACTLY the same scaling for UP angles Gann angles aren't the be all and end all as they have there limitations but you can use them for certain things - What Gann did was right specific courses for huge amounts of money with confidentiality clauses that explained exactly what the markets were/are doing, those courses have remained hidden from the public, with only a tiny amount of evidence as to what was going on - BUT, Gann was talking about planets and planetary positions on charts in relation to prices and his Gann angles, were approximate planetary lines for the general public to use, not precise, but good enough as the angles are based on %'s of the circle See the following chart: DJIA from 2009 - People would have writen off the 1 x 1 angle after 2011, but look at it in 2022 perfect example of price and time balancing - this is a perfectly scaled chart and angles Notice: the 1 x 1.5 angle (never talked of of published on charting software) it was effective throughout and ran through the 50% level of the "covid" plunge EXACTLY This chart is the DJIA from 1982 to 2000: The 1 x 1 forecast and timed the big 2000 highs, notice the support it provided in 1987+ and notice that the 1.5 x 1 angle ran right though the 50% level of the 1987 crash - in just 2 charts we've seen the 1.5 angle split major crashes precisely and exactly to the 50% level So to come back to your comment about scaling etc and again I've shown this in "Are markets random" thread, but didn't highlight it - If you find a well defined market swing of a number of weeks or months as shown in the chart below - box the swing, split it proportionally into 25%'#s draw angles to intersect those 25%'s as shown = YOU WILL HAVE A PERFECTLY SCALED ANGLE FOR YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN AND CHARTING SOFTWARE  As long as you don't change the scaling on the chart by adding or reducing more price bars etc it will be accurately scaled, you can then COPY the angles and move around the chart - On my charting software I look back over 6 months, if I changed that to say 9 months then the scaling would change and the angles created on the 6 month basis would not be to scale, so as long as i keep the look back to 6 months any angles created will be perfectly scaled etc My software also allows me to view the angle on different timescales without moving it I mentioned planets above Not shown on the chart is the Mars/Jupiter combo at the 2009 low - the SP500 stopped dead at 666.79 points  - the Mars/Jupiter line was at a longitude of 307 degrees on a circle of 360, add 360 to 307 and you get the value of 667 = which was the value in points at which the SP500 "suddenly" stopped dead at and turned around!  This chart proves the conjunction value of mars/jupiter: The first chart is Gann's 1948 Soybeans charts shwoing Mars and Jupiter conjunction at the HIGH Then this is Mars/Jupiter conjunctions in the SP500 from 200 high - not all timings are significant but some are Here's, the trendline as a line from the 2000 high - notice that in 2018 it caught the high around the conjunction date - the thing to consider here is like the 2009 low, PRICE was 2872, the 2018 conjunction was the 8th conjunction since the 2000 high - 8 x 360 = 2880 degrees from the 2000 high = 8 points from perfection As we can see when Mars/Jupiter time and price balanced, the market dropped - only a minor drop in the grand scheme of things, but it did exactly as Gann said it would, trend reversal So although Gann mentioned his gann angles, really was he was saying was "Planetary lines" - which is exactly why when we trade gann angles, they often don't work that well, because we're trading them with the wrong scaling, the wrong reasoning and something else is creating the lines and angle of them, that most people are oblivious to That being said, people can still trade the steeper Gann angles from either the box method of creating them or the proper scaled method of knowing the points per bar figure - markets above the steeper angles often keep on rising  THT
