Tell Live from Demo account?


Guest SqueakyVoicedTeen

Question

Guest SqueakyVoicedTeen

Hi, I'm new to IG and am using the demo account from the browser platform (i.e. the web site, not an iOS or Android app, nor MT4).

One thing that strikes me is that the live and demo workspaces look exactly the same, I would expect to see a large "DEMO" banner, or that the top menu bar be, say black in demo and red in live.

As I'm new to this I expect to be going back and forth between the two to try out new strategies in the demo before I use real funds. My worry is that one day I'll be in live and think I'm in the demo, and place a large trade and let it bomb out.

What do others do to ensure you don't make that mistake?

Also just a quick question re the naming  of the indices IG use, is this correct?


Wall St = Dow 30?

Germany 30 = DAX?

US tech 100 = NASDAQ-100

US 500 = S&P 500 Index?

Thank you!

    • October can be a bit of a wild card for Solana. I’ve noticed it sometimes rallies if the broader crypto market is feeling optimistic, but there’s also been some volatility. Last year, for example, it had some nice gains, but I've also seen it drop unexpectedly due to market shifts. I think it’s smart to stay updated on the latest news and trends and keep an eye on market sentiment if you're thinking about investing.
    • If you’re eyeing Shiba Inu, I’d suggest doing a bit of homework first. I’ve dabbled in a few cryptos, and the market can be wild—prices can swing drastically in no time. I got into some projects based on hype before and learned the hard way about jumping in too quickly. If you really believe in Shiba Inu’s potential and have a solid plan, it might be worth a shot. 
    • Hey everyone, it’s a new week with bullish momentum. $TON is trading around $5.3 today, and with all the hype and momentum, do you think it could outperform Solana in the long run?   If there's potential, I’d suggest we consider accumulating gradually ahead of the bull run. One way to do this could be by exploring TON giveaways, such as the one currently on Bitget platform.   It’s part of a TON carnival offering multiple learning opportunities and a Learn-to-Earn activity, where you answer TON-related questions and receive freebies.   Overall, these opportunities within the TON ecosystem seem worth considering given the potential. What’s your take on it?
