Probably not, the FCA seems to be fully behind esma and the regulations.

Oh ok, I didn't know they had tear offs on the new platform. New platform doesn't use Flash so must be something else, Still working ok here though, updating fine, and yes, opens in a new window as per your url above, see pic below

Hi, I'm presuming you're meaning the old platform and just looked and the tear off chart was fine and updating the live price without problem but did see that chrome is now blocking Flash rather than just re-setting to 'ask' which won't load properly so needed to set to 'allow'. If you haven't seen already check this page https://www.ig.com/uk/help-and-support/charts/ig-charts/why-are-my-ig-charts-not-working

Hi, check for additional fixes on this page such as clearing cache. https://www.ig.com/uk/help-and-support/charts/ig-charts/why-are-my-ig-charts-not-working

Ouch, ASIC are looking to outdo ESMA; proposal for max leverage of 20:1 for fx, down from 200:1 (esma 30:1) 15:1 for indices from 200:1 ... see list below. page 46; https://download.asic.gov.au/media/5241542/cp322-published-22-august-2019.pdf

Hi, you can check the hedging setting from settings tab on the mini terminal app (download from IG's app pack), I'm not sure how to do this without going through the mini terminal. pic 1 Check the stop limit by going to Marketwatch in mt4 and right click on usdzar then click 'specification', it's currently 4400 but will change depending on session times. pic 2 IG does seem to have larger limits for orders on mt4 compared to their online platform or placing trade manually at market on mt4. hope this helps.

The fixing is a mid point with a 2% band permitted. see this article from earlier this month; https://think.ing.com/snaps/pboc-fixes-cny-higher/

YUAN TALKS @YuanTalks 5h #PBOC cut #Yuan's fixing by 57 pips to 7.0490 per USD, vs 7.0433 one day earlier.

Both Dax and Dow are above the daily pivot and currently retesting so if the pivot holds will be looking for longs towards R1. Obvious strong resistance above at the daily chart resistance levels (orange). H1 charts.

Looks like ASIC are going to follow ESMA banning Binaries and reducing leverage available to retail clients. https://asic.gov.au/about-asic/news-centre/find-a-media-release/2019-releases/19-220mr-asic-proposes-ban-on-the-sale-of-binary-options-to-retail-clients-and-restrictions-on-the-sale-of-cfds/

Another reversal day yesterday to remain in touch with recent resistance, Dow 26425 and Dax 11861. Ftse in tune but still lagging has resistance at 7231. No major US news events today though there may be dips from the JH symposium.

Looking Risk Neutral this morning, Indices mixed, USD down Bonds flat, Oil and Gold down. Chart US 10 y Treasury. High impact releases today Ger PMI, EU PMI. Start of the 3 day Jackson Hole symposium, news leaks throughout and can be market moving affecting positions over the weekend plus UK bank holiday Monday.

The Asian markets took a strong hit 4 hours ago but can't find any news that caused it, China indices trying to rally but HK struggling.

Actually I already did this in the Indices thread back on 11th Aug, I stopped following both of them ages ago due the bearish bias > prejudice > derangement, it was like 2016 all over again, every day endless bleating about this time it's for real, at first it was boring, then it got on your nerves and you just switched off, and then the Trump election win and the bull run was up and away again, just like that, oh how we laughed. A recession is min of 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP and has happen twice since 2000 but look to the poor GDP leading up to it, currently US GDP remains strong.

Actually I thought Corrigan was pretty good and pretty much spot on in his general take on a multitude of economic topics, there was no political agenda and of course it was his view so to get balance -er, find someone else with a different econ view?

Good piece on copper here from CME focusing on it's strong links with the Chinese economy and the very low current implied volatility. "Copper closely tracks growth in China, yet copper options prices tend to be closely related to U.S. monetary policy. How will Fed rate cuts impact the metal?

Yes, I saw that falling away last night but trying to recover since, await the London open with interest, so far Dax and Dow have recovered half of yesterday's losses. H1 charts;

A bear reversal bar yesterday but so far no continuation. Dax on the weekly chart support level (red) 11608 and Dow trying to retake 26000, HK50 stays within striking distance of daily chart resistance level 26419 (orange). Daily charts;

Overnight Indices up Bonds down, USD up Crypto down. Chart BTC weekly. High impact today is Canadian CPI at 1:30pm and the minutes release of the last FOMC mtg 7:00pm.

Dax tested yesterday's high this morning then back down to test the pivot just now, Dow also at the daily pivot little moved by the London session and waiting for the US open. H1 charts;

True the London session has been weak and so far resulting in a pause bar on all the indices but may see some action come the US session. Ftse is the exception which is trying to play catch up.

Gold hanging on to 1500, support below at 1452 weekly chart resistance turned support (red) and daily chart support at 1479. The recent high 1537 is prior support turned resistance from the monthly chart (green). RSI on the monthly just creeping into overbought. May react to any news coming from the Jackson Hole symposium over the weekend and US prelim GDP next week.

I think they were referring to short vs long positioning stats, may have changed by now.

Looking for continuation upward today though as ever may see a check of the Pivot first though already well on the way to R1. Yesterday's highs immediately ahead, Dax at 11761 and Dow at 26238.
