Hi, that might be a connection problem, check the connection box bottom right, the number after the slash is the number of drop outs, there will be one or two on startup but if you have a lot more there is a problem.

Also check the data feeds from 'File' > 'Open an Account', the speeds should be less than 100 ms.

Probably still ok and not the reason as there is still a connection, click on the connection box and check other data centers (see pic).

is there any other error message on the screen rather than in the journal?

Is this issue solved. I encounter the same problem.

Help desk says they'll look into it. not sure how long it'll take. It's been already 2 days, since I talked to them.

Look like I'm not alone.

I did chat with IG support. Same answer. Last Friday until now ...

Thanks for the help. ☺️ Appreciate that. 

I guess I just need to wait patiently ...

MT4 is third party and so IG don't really have any control over it other than their connection. I set up a pending order on the live platform yesterday without any problems at all.

Finally, everything back to normal today

What was the solution @sandwich? 
I literally just downloaded Meta5 because I wasn't able to enter trades.

Is it possible for you to share the screenshot as well the log file for the error ?
You can find log files by : 

- Login to your MT4 platform;
- Under the Terminal window, go to the Journal tab;
- Right click on any of the message(s) and click open;
- A new window will open with logs available for different dates.
- Then please find the logs for day in question.
