Demo Account

Question

Guest KeithJ

Just recently setup a demo account, everything seems to work.

Graphs etc, but if I try and place a trade, I just get a spinner with Deal in progress and nothing happens.

I'm a programmer, so thought I'd also try the API,..  The error is -> error.security.invalid-details  Of course I checked my security details, I can certainly log onto IgIndex with these credentials, and I also double checked API key too.

Is this just that's it's a new account, and maybe IG Index takes a while to propagate security details to the demo server etc.??

Same here.  Can not open or close existing positions in the demo account.  Not giving me confidence to move to real money on this platform.  Been about 24hrs now that when you try to open/close position it just loads/buffers then says unexpected error.  A few days ago it was working perfectly.

@KeithJ & @anthonybu, the 2 problems may be connected though Keith may be right in that it sounds like the connection between account and platform has not yet been established by IG.

There have been some problems on demo just lately after the weekly platforms shutdown for updates on Friday evenings that on restart some are not able to open or close positions. Just to point out the demo and live are completely separate and it is very rare for the live platform to misbehave. The demo for all brokers is primarily a test bed for the broker's technicians to trial upgrades and address any bugs before passing them on to the live platform. Any problems with the demo are likely to be resolved Monday morning. Hopefully @JamesIG will check.

Everything working fine today,.  Even got API working on the demo account..

So it looks like sometimes over the weekend it can just take some times for accounts to be fully up & running.

Thanks,

having the same issue here : is there a way to check the health of the servers to connect to demo account ? I'm getting a error.security.invalid-details (and yes I triple checked credentials)

Hi @botbot,

There is no recorded issue on the Demo servers. Could you please confirm if you were able to login?

If not please send a screenshot to helpdesk.uk@ig.com. The helpdesk and IT will be able to investigate further.

Thank you - Arvin

    • The digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as attention, once a freely given commodity, is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset. Layer3 is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering a new economy where attention can be owned, traded, and monetized   This innovative approach empowers individuals to monetize their engagement, providing unprecedented control over personal data. Simultaneously, advertisers benefit from transparent metrics that optimize campaign performance. Content creators are presented with diverse revenue avenues beyond traditional advertising, while the overall ecosystem experiences a more equitable distribution of value.   The implications of Layer3 extend across various sectors. Social media platforms, for instance, can leverage this technology to revolutionize user engagement and monetization strategies. Tokenomics play a crucial role in driving Layer3's economy, incentivizing participation and rewarding value creation. While challenges such as data privacy and market volatility exist, the potential benefits of Layer3 are immense   Anticipation is building as its native token $L3 is on Bitget Pre-market as users await its listing on the exchange. This milestone is expected to significantly increase the token's visibility and accessibility, potentially driving substantial growth and attracting new investors. As the countdown begins, the crypto community watches with keen interest, eager to see how Layer3 will perform in this new chapter.
    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
    • I am anticipating the impact of this listing on Mongy.
