Hey @Olu016, 

Thanks for your message. 

If you're new to trading I would advise using the academy to understand the product and use the videos to see what you're interested in. 

Academy: https://www.ig.com/uk/learn-to-trade/ig-academy

Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwvras8SRKKhx_cboj2p1nw

If you're already traded before and need some help with something specific let me know what you need and I will be able to help 🙂

I have joined the academy and I v been guided up to placing a bet using my demo account and that's about it.

[Olu016]

can I actually learn how to trade using the demo account and how do I get training on it. 

I have some knowledge about the products

Yes ...

Don't listen to people who tell you to jump into live trading asap.

Thank you for your post. I have a basic idea of the products as I did cfa level 1 and acca. I completed all the tests for beginners on this platform yesterday and did well at them. I have invested in shares before and made money from it.

I dont have a trading plan and I havent decided on the assets that I ll like to trade in.

I ll look at your trend regarding trading plan  thank you.

Do you have any other advice for me? Thank you.

Hi, the best all round and complete educational resource is probably Babypips. It focuses on FX but the tutorials are applicable to all markets
