Hi, crypto exchanges are generally 365 though they do shut down periodically for maintenance. IG does this weekly from 10pm Friday (UK time), the crypto market restarts at 4am Saturday (UK time).

oh great, now a ******* windows update on top of everything else, now in my programs list their are only 27 programs listed and that's not right, and MT4 isn't listed to uninstall. Go to the desktop IG mt4 icon, right click, select properties, select 'open file location' and there is an uninstall choice there. Download fresh MT4 and apps pack from IG, install and success. Build 1220 (13 Sep 2019) and the mini terminal is back up and running.

oh right, so they palmed me off with the dud then 😡, ******* typical 😅

blasted upgrades/updates always cause problems, Google chrome had a big update yesterday so waiting for that to fall apart too 😅

IG MT4 has been updated in the last few days, was Build 1170, is now Version 4.00 Build 1212 (10 Sept) 2019 But I can't get any of the IG app EA's like the mini terminal to work, tried everything bar a complete reinstall, anyone else having any issues?

don't know about New Zealand but note the contact for IG NZ is in Australia (on the compare page posted above).

It's a tricky one that as the neckline is all over the place and price would need to break down through S1 but it looks like the the bulls were waiting at the pivot point.

no prob, I did wonder at first as there have been a few hiccups on the platform just lately.

there is no set value but IG will tell you in advance if they intend to introduce a charge for use to give you the opportunity to stop using before they do.

no prob, but be aware that because they are based on the previous day's OHLC and IG has a 1 hour Sunday candle the Monday auto draw PPs will be skewered.

Not sure if Switzerland is still an option, might be worth a query > https://www.ig.com/uk/compare-our-leveraged-trading

I looked at the H1 ftse with pivots and the 7am European open candle sliced down through the pivot point (orange) like a hot knife through butter, the bears were in control ever since.

Following on from this mornings post Dax rechecked the pivot on the European open then went on to test yesterday's high and then on to R1 while Dow is currently testing yesterday's high. H1 charts;

Interesting Dan, do you have a means for determining short term direction? For example on the Dax & Dow thread I look at the H1 chart with the daily pivots, price above the pivot I'm looking for longs and shorts below.

ok, those times are normal for the weekly IG shutdown, an hour after the US session close for maintenance, back up and updates, though don't usually put up a notice that I was aware, the share dealing platform is being upgraded in a few months so may be connected to that.

Thanks, very interesting, look forward to the new thread.

Hi, normally shutdown for maintenance occurs on Friday evening (UK time) for a few hours, have you found different? The status page is saying everything is operational. https://status.ig.com/

A bit off topic but very worrying just the same. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

5 min video on the 'Monty Hall Problem', interesting look at probability. Not sure how to use it in trading but a must if on a game show.

Both above to daily pivot so looking to retest yesterday's highs. H1 charts;

Anyone seen this malfunction on the mini terminal and know how to fix? never happened before, see pic.

Hi, I'm presuming this is a Direct Market Access type platform with live feeds from exchanges but as is the IG DMA platform able to source prices from a range of liquidity providers who are able to trade off exchange.

Continuing to grind higher, Draghi surprised yesterday doing more than was expected though it was all 'open ended' meaning Lagarde can cancel at anytime but probably won't given her support for fiscal easing, thoughts turning to the FOMC meeting next Wednesday a 25bp cut 100% priced in and 50bp by end of year at around 50%, Powell probably won't go as far as Draghi but he is something of a loose canon with a monkey on his back so should be fun. Daily charts;

Indices up Bonds flat, USD down Gold down, interesting eur/usd daily chart looking like a double bottom, very solid support at least post ecb yesterday. US retail sales at 1:30pm and US consumer senti at 3:00pm.

If it's not listed in Live Accounts it cannot have been activated yet? see pic below;
