Any idea why this is on MT4 especially with IG server, as ive seen others adding micro lot positions under other brokers on MT4, is this just due to MT4 or something else?

Hi @BOBCAT01,  on the spread betting mt4 platform 1.00 equates to £1/point so 0.10 is £0.10/point, 10 pence per point.

Hi @TnlVision,  couldn't say really except that, as you say all the others do it, so I guess IG would be at a disadvantage if they didn't.

Hi @Caseynotes

On demo account for MT4 I can order 0.01 lots. Is it not possible on live accounts?

Also what I wonder is the overnight charges on those types of lots. Is it the same formula*lot percentage?

Thanks.

Hi @Izzet,  the mt4 demo platform uses metatrader lot sizes which if I remember right goes down to 0.01 which equates to 10 pence per point but the live platform used IG lot sizes and only goes down to 0.10 but that still equates to the same 10 pence per point and so a £1.00 lot size is £1 per point on the live platform. A bit confusing I know.

Dear Sir, 

I wanted to open an account with ig trading to trade on forex, As i know Ig trading can also be done  in MT4 platform,my only doubt is any mt4 demo account from any service providers offering to trade on micro lots (0.01 lot) based on margin, but when i try to  trade micro lot on ag trading app it is how minimum of 1 contract have to be traded based on margin available. Now my question to comes down to 2 
1) can i trade on micro lot ( 0.01lot ) on IG trading application ? (as it is showing 1contract as mandatory minimum requirement) ( please find the attachment) 
2) can i trade on micro lot (0.01 lot ) on IG MT4 trading platform.

Hi. I've been trying to set up an MT4 spread betting demo account, but live chat say you don't and never have offered this. Is this true? Is MT4 spread betting available on live accounts? Thanks.

Hi, for a spread bet account you must be UK or Ireland resident otherwise it's a cfd account.

see this page Open a Free MT4 Demo Account Today | IG UK (for UK or check for your own country equivalent page).

I am UK registered! Live chat just say you don't offer one (on MT4). I already have a spread betting account on the IG platform, but IG's bet sizing policy (and their refusal to offer micro lots on CFDs) makes it impossible to manage risk properly unless I deposit about £50k. IG have a great platform, but they clearly don't want anyone but the big fish using it. Thanks for replying.

Go to your My IG and click on 'add an account' you should see the option to open a mt4 cfd or mt4 spread bet account, click to open the spread bet account (you don't have to fund it) then go to the IG mt4 platform page to download mt4.

Once downloaded open mt4, in File > open an account   > select demo and the mt4 platform will auto set up a demo account.

I've got as far as

Your application is currently pending authorisation and will be looked at by a member of our team at the earliest opportunity.

We will contact you shortly with further details.

You can view your live and pending accounts on the manage accounts page.
 
I've already got the MT4 platform on my computer, so I should be able to log in from there, with any luck. Thanks for helping (though if your CS was on the ball you wouldn't have needed to 🙂
 
I'd like to be able to trade from my laptop as well as my PC. Do you know if there's an easy way to synchronise MT4 across devices?

Actually, I've mistakenly clicked the IG spread betting rather than the MT4, so I'm going to end up with two IG demos. I've got a couple of excess MT4 accounts as well that I've never managed to make work. Is there any way I can delete these? Annoyingly, the 'manage your accounts' page link I referred to in the previous post doesn't work - just throws up Javascript void(0).

Once they have your application they will send 2 emails, one with live account login and the other with live password.

With those entered into the mt4 platform the live account is activated and you can then go on to create a demo account.

From within the MT4 platform?

yes that's right, mt4 demo accounts are auto generated by the platform itself, no input from IG.

Well, that worked. Thanks very much. When I come to trade live, I presume I'll have to make an MT4 account from My IG and fund it that way too, since there's no transactions facility on MT4. Will that account also execute only on MT4?

    • ASX: RESMED INC - RMD Elliott Elliott Wave Technical Analysis TradingLounge Greetings, Our Elliott Wave analysis today updates the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) with RESMED INC - RMD. We see RMD preparing to move up with the third wave. ASX: RESMED INC - RMD 1D Chart (Semilog Scale) Analysis Function: Major trend (Minor degree, grey) Mode: Motive Structure: Impulse Position: Wave ((iii))-navy of Wave 3-grey Details: Wave ((ii))-navy may have ended, and wave ((iii))-navy is unfolding to push higher. It is possible that wave ((iii))-navy is unfolding to push higher, towards the next target at 40.00 – 50.00. Invalidation point: 34.19 ASX: RESMED INC - RMD 4-Hour Chart Analysis Function: Major trend (Minuette degree, navy) Mode: Motive Structure: Impulse Position: Wave (iii)-orange of Wave ((iii))-navy Details: Wave ((iii))-navy is probably unfolding since 34.19, and it is probably subdividing into wave (i),(ii)-orange, basically wave (ii)-orange can push down a little bit further, aiming at the target around 36.05 - 35.24, and then wave (iii)-orange can return when price pushes higher than wave B of wave (ii)-orange. On the contrary, if price continues to break through 35.24, it will immediately trigger the ALT replacement scenario, indicating that the whole wave ((ii))-navy is not really completed and needs to push down further. Invalidation point: 34.19 Conclusion: Our analysis, forecast of contextual trends, and short-term outlook for ASX: RESMED INC - RMD aim to provide readers with insights into the current market trends and how to capitalize on them effectively. We offer specific price points that act as validation or invalidation signals for our wave count, enhancing the confidence in our perspective.

    • The U.S. stock markets are currently experiencing a bullish trend, with any recent downward movements considered part of a bullish corrective pattern according to Elliott Wave analysis. Trading activities are being temporarily paused until after the U.S. elections, as this week is expected to be highly active due to 622 earnings reports and the Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for November 7th. Key Elliott Wave Analysis: S&P 500 (SPX): In Wave 4, with three bullish wave counts under consideration. NASDAQ 100 (NDX): Progressing through Wave 4. Apple (AAPL): Entered Wave (2), indicating a corrective phase. Amazon (AMZN): In Wave iv) of 5 of (1), suggesting a minor correction within an overall upward trend. NVIDIA (NVDA): Advancing in Wave 1 of (5), pointing to the beginning of a new upward impulse. Meta Platforms (META): Nearing completion of Wave 4, potentially setting the stage for Wave 5 upward movement. Netflix (NFLX): Completed a Wave 4 Triangle pattern, indicating a possible breakout. Alphabet (GOOGL): Currently in Wave 4, suggesting a corrective phase before the next upward impulse. Microsoft (MSFT): Holding at the 400 support level, in Wave A of (2), which may be the start of a larger corrective pattern. Tesla (TSLA): Moving through Wave 4 of (1), indicating a short-term correction. Bitcoin (BTC): In Wave 4, suggesting a consolidation phase before potential upward movement. Trading Strategy Insight: Investors are advised to monitor these developments closely, especially in light of the upcoming U.S. elections and significant economic events this week. The Elliott Wave patterns indicate that while short-term corrections are occurring, the overall market trend remains bullish. Combining this technical analysis with fundamental factors will be crucial for making informed trading decisions. Analyst Peter Mathers TradingLounge Source: tradinglounge com
