How to get commodities on MT4

[olliebrabec]

Hello, 

Probably a stupid question but I have just set up an account with IG for use on MT4 and I can only bring up charts for Forex. I would like to trade commodities but it doesn't list them when trying to open a new chart.

Am I being stupid or is it something to do with the account I have only allowing me to trade Forex?

Thanks.

there only seems to be 10 commodities to trade on MT4 - I'm a beginner - is this right?

Hi @olliebrabec @Woldul

Thanks for the query. 

Please see the following link for the products we offer on MT4: https://www.ig.com/uk/trading-platforms/metatrader-4

You should be able to access these products below the FX pairs in the market watch window. 

If you are unable to access the other products besides FX then you may be on a US based account where we are only able to offer FX. In this case if you are based in the UK then you would need to create a new demo from the UK based site. 

All the best,
