Minimum Contracts Have Changed?

[Straddles]

Hi all.

Last week the minimum contract on the Dow was 0.13, this week it is 0.5. I didn't receive any communication on this.

Thank you Caseynotes. Thought I was going crazy.

 

Will explore going through MT4.

Is MT4 only for currency pairs? 

If I'm on Market Watch and click on "Show All" there is no Indices or Metals.

I feel I'm a noob with Mt4. I downloaded MT4 from their website, MT5 opens.

I'm unable to log on to the IG-Live via the Web trader and/or the MT5 program.

Okay I have found the solution.

 

1) You need to download MT$ from the IG website and NOT on the MT4 website. It needs to show the below once installed

2) It will give you the option to add your details if you have already created a Meta Trader account under  My IG.

3) The server will be the IG-LIVE server.

4) Limited Indices will be available.

that's right, also download the add on apps pack from the IG mt4 web site as well, loads of good extras there, also see this vid;
