How To Access Live Chat


Guest TheBigKangaroo

Question

Guest TheBigKangaroo

  Hello again.  This may be an answer to my previous concerns.  I sometimes see "LIVE CHAT appear but I dont need it.  When I do need it, I can not for the life of work out how to start it.  Surely there is a menu option to initiate LIVE CHAT!?  Are you able to tell me how I can get live chat and I will channel as many questions through here as I can to give you a bit of "fre time" from me.

 

Warm Regards

Good Morning (well here it is anyway)

I am trying to get more organised with my questions

 

1. The chat does not come on no matter how long I wait.  I was in the LIVE platform and the DEMO one to see if that helped

2. It says I can set up different TIME ZONEs on a chart.  How can I do this.  Will this show me the time zone for the trades I am holding

3.  In the “spot” drop down, USD/CHF mini is an option.  What does this mean

4.  When I place a trade, if all is going well and I am watching it, can I increase the LIMIT on the “fly” or do I need to open a new trade

and 5.  I had a problem placing a trade and I used WINDOWs SNIPPING tool to copy it but I cant then copy it onto here for you to have a look at.  Can you please tell me how to do this as I see you do it quite a bit.

 

and that, my new pen pal friend...or should I say "unpaid technical consultant" is it.  I can only thank you so many times so I will add one more here...THANKYOU

Hi , Good morning. I don't think you can access live chat through the platform at all so it's a case of opening a new browser page and finding the IG homepage as if you were not logged on at all.

https://www.ig.com/uk/welcome-page

 

After you have opened the snipping tool and framed the pic then click on the save icon and choose a folder in your pictures library to place it. So when you have started a post, click on the photo icon and then go to the folder with the saved pic, click 'open' then 'done' and it will be added to your post.

 

The mini refers to a mini lot/contract size available on CFD accounts and so instead of playing at £1 per point minimum it might be £0.20 per point minimum. A good place to start as the risk is lower but then so is the reward.

 

Yes you can change the limit and should be able to do that on the chart, the entry, stop and limit should appear as lines on the chart and you can change the stop and limit by click and drag to the new position. 

 

To my knowledge only on prorealtime can the time zone be changed, if you could snip a pic to show me where it says you can would be helpful.

Great 

 

All answered perfectly thank you. Dont worry about the time zones "thing", I am "suckin in" so much information ATM, I doubt I could tell what I was looking at 3 minutes ago. The advice on the Live Chat will limit a lot of my questions and your time which you have been ever so generous with.

 

Have a great day

Yeh I’d stick to the forum. You can generally get a quick answer or it’s already been answered (on their help portal as well) so just have a search. :) here to help to.

I want my son (we both have IG accounts) to have the facility on his computer, when logged in to IG, to have the ability to "Click" and "Switch" to a view of my log-in page.   I can do this in relation to him but can;t remember how I brought it about.   I phoned in  qand an advisor went on about power of attorney and all sorts of things.   I am certain that this was not how I brought about the "Switch" in relation to my son's axcount...   Can you help me.   ????  P L E A S E

Hi,
Each IG account are individual. The only way to switch from one account to another would be to have a power of attorney which is correct. Your will login to your account and your will be able to switch to your son's account without having to login on his account.

I hope that it helps.

All the best - Arvin

    • Brent crude oil, orange juice stabilise while copper advances as US debt ceiling bill gets signed Outlook on Brent crude oil, orange juice and copper as US House of Representatives approves bill to raise debt ceiling. Source: Bloomberg  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 01 June 2023  Brent crude oil prices finds interim support The price of Brent crude oil, having dropped by over 6% over the past two days on possible weaker Chinese demand, a surprise build in US crude inventories and as Russia doesn’t adhere to its OPEC+ agreed output cuts, is stabilising. Better-than-expected Chinese manufacturing PMI from the private Caixin survey led to buying on Thursday and so far has taken the oil price back towards the $73.37 mid-May low which may act as initial resistance. Above it lies further minor resistance at the 17 May $74.02 low and also at the 22 May $74.47 low. On Wednesday Brent crude oil stabilised marginally above its $71.40 early May low, along the March-to-May support line at $72.20 on a daily chart closing basis. Earlier this morning it also acted as support. Only a currently unexpected drop through the $71.51 to $71.40 support zone would lead to the March trough at $70.09 being hit. Source: ProRealTime Copper recovery off its six-month low is gaining traction The price of copper is in the process of breaking through its two-month downtrend line at $8,130 per ton as the US House of Representatives approved a bill to raise the debt ceiling. It will now be sent to the Senate, which is expected to rubber stamp the bill before President Joe Biden can sign it into law ahead of June 5, when the US would be in default. If the copper price were to close on the daily chart above Tuesday’s $8,185 high, the last reaction high, it could extend its recent gains to the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $8,373. This technical view will remain valid as long as the last reaction low, that is Wednesday’s low at $8,038, underpins on a daily chart closing basis. Source: ProRealTime Orange juice price flirts with uptrend line Front month orange juice futures have come off last week’s all-time record high at $2.8721 and are likely to retest their one-month uptrend line at $2.7030 as Brazil may increase its supply. If slid through, the 8 May high at $2.5348 would be eyed with further potential support sitting at last week’s $2.6663 to $2.6430 price gap. Resistance remains to be seen around the $2.8038 April high. Source: ProRealTime
    • Dow and CAC40 stabilise while Nasdaq 100 edges down The Dow and CAC40 have rallied off their Wednesday lows, while the Nasdaq 100 has moved lower after its fourteen-month high earlier in the week. Source: Bloomberg  Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 01 June 2023  Dow holds above 200-day MA The index saw a rally off the lows of yesterday’s session, defending the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) once again. However, the overall lower from the highs of May has yet to be disrupted, so further upside would be needed to suggest that a low has been created. A move above 33,230 would help to bolster such a view, and might then open the way to a rebound towards the mid-May high at 33,690. A reversal below the 200-day SMA opens the way to the low seen last week around 32580. Source: ProRealTime Nasdaq 100 edges lower A drop yesterday saw the index add to its decline from the one-year high hit on Tuesday. The upward move is still firmly intact, but it may be overextended in the short-term. Trendline support from late April could come into play closer to 14,000. A deeper retracement might develop with a move below 13,700. A renewed move higher could target the late March 2022 highs at 15,210, but a consolidation after the recent run higher remains a distinct possibility. Source: ProRealTime CAC40 hits trendline support Losses here accelerated to a fresh two-month low yesterday, although it has rallied off the lows of the session. The longer-term uptrend is still intact, though it has taken a knock since the April peak. A recovery above the 100-day SMA would help to reinforce the view that a higher low is in place, and that a move back to 7600 and potentially higher could be in play. The price has stabilised around another potential trendline support level from the December lows. Should this hold then the bullish view could receive additional support. Below this the March low at 6785 comes into view. Source: ProRealTime
    • Early Morning Call: British Land to leave FTSE 100, replaced by IMI Property developer British Land lost its position on the index, ending a 21-year run in the FTSE 100.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 01 June 2023  US debt ceiling The US debt ceiling bill passed its first hurdle last night in the US House of Representatives. A coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans overcame an opposition led by hardline conservatives. The House voted 314-117 to send the legislation to the Senate. Now the bill has to pass the Senate to be signed into law. China factory activity China's factory activity unexpectedly swung to growth in May, according to the Caixin survey, which covers small and medium-sized enterprises. This was a surprise after the official NBS survey showed yesterday that the manufacturing sector contracted faster than expected. The official NBS PMI survey covers large and state-owned companies. The Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 50.9 in May from 49.5 in April, above the 50-point index mark that separates growth from contraction. However, business confidence for the coming 12 months fell to a seven-month low. EU CPI In the eurozone, headline consumer price index (CPI) is expected to fall to 6.3% in May year-on-year (YoY), from 7% in April. Since its October 2022 peak, CPI has almost constantly declined, but remains more than three times above the European Central Bank (ECB) target. Core CPI, which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco prices, is forecast to decline for a second straight month to 5.5%, from 5.6% in April, which suggests that, now that last year's higher energy prices are being phased out, EU consumers face stickier than expected broad-based inflation. In the US, it was also a shorter week, as Americans celebrated Memorial Day on Monday, which means the ADP employment change will exceptionally take place this afternoon at 1.15pm. The markets expect 170,000 job creations in the US private sector, fewer than the 296,000 recorded the previous month. Also, at 3pm the market awaits ISM manufacturing PMI which should marginally fall to 47 in May, from 47.1 in April. This would mean a seventh straight month of contraction for the US manufacturing sector. FTSE reshuffle The quarterly reshuffle of the FTSE indices is upon us again and was confirmed last night. Property developer British Land lost its position on the index, ending a 21-year run in the FTSE 100. Its value has been hit by rising interest rates and the disruption caused by last autumn's mini budget. The swap brings engineering company IMI into the FTSE 100. The reshuffle will take effect from the start of trading on Monday 19 June. Earnings British boot maker Dr. Martens posted a drop in its annual profit. Profit before tax slumped 26% to £159.4 million dented by supply chain issues that ramped up operational costs. Revenue rose 10% to £1 billion. The group proposes a total dividend of 5.84 pence, up 6% on last year. In the US, Broadcom is due to report second quarter (Q2) numbers after the market close. The street anticipates earnings of $10.12 per share on revenue of $8.7Bln. After NVIDIA's earnings report last week and its market capitalisation reaching $1 trillion, investors now look at how every semiconductor maker could benefit from the AI boom. And according to some analysts, Broadcom is underestimated among its peers. Its networking segment is said to present significant opportunities in the AI space. Like other chip makers, Broadcom stock jumped in the past few days, taking it to an all-time high.   This is here for you to catch up but if you have any ideas on markets or events you want us to relay to the TV team we’re more than happy to.
