Hi, I was using mt4 all day Friday with no problems.

MT5 is a separate platform and not used by IG so ignore (you must have got that from metatrader not IG). 

If you downloaded mt4 from IG it will still be in your download folder.

Assuming you've already set up a live mt4 account with IG and have had it up and running previously check the version of mt4 you are using, 'Help' > 'About'   , it must be build 1170 or later, earlier versions are no longer supported.

Check the IG demo and Live feeds are open and that the ping has returned;

'File' > 'Open an Account'

The IG mt4 download put in your download folder is labeled 'ig4setup' and the other pictured below is the additional IG apps pack.

    • Hi all. I have a chunk of cash sitting around and don't really want to allocate it to equities or anything too risky so I was hoping to pick up some regular coupons from something like non-junk bond. I've tried to find bonds on my ISA or Share Dealing account but they don't really seem to exist. I can't find bonds nor ETFs of bonds...  Also can someone help me to understand - like I don't want to bet on the value of bonds or rates going up. I only care about dumping cash in bonds and receiving regular coupons. I understand that the prices of bonds go up and down and therefore you may make a gain/loss on your principal if you sell before maturity, but I kinda want a low-risk bond and want to hold it to maturity. Or at least something that has that kind of risk-reward profile.
