I made a boo boo again. Should always respond to what the charts show and not go on feelings, huh.
yes, it turns out that the market really doesn't care about your feelings apparently 😢

The advantage of spending so much time planning and organizing that you don't have any time left over to actually trade is that you will lose less money. The organization skills you develop might even help you get a real job. Genius.
Once you've done the planning what's left to do but pull the trigger. nothing. better that way round than scrambling to cobble together some kind of a plan after you're already in it up to your neck 🙂

deducted $50 from available to deal
Was there not any kind of description given, was it a quarterly inactivity charge?

Finds support at 9061 then checks resistance at 9966, recent short term support overnight at 9628 and looking now at another test of the resistance level, failure should lead to a test of 9061 support.

US Oil tries to bounce up off 56.34 overnight, stronger support just below at 56.08. As gold traders Oil will be watching the indices closely for direction.
-
Gold topping at 1429 on this recent rally and will look to test that if indices continue to slump.

Dow will be trying to hold here after falling back having failed to make gains yesterday and showing something of a triple top on the H1 chart. Dax put in a strange 1 minute 70 tick fall at 1:15am that was immediately bought back up but is looking to test that low now.
-
All starting the day looking for support, from the daily chart Dax has a recent low at 12166 and Ftse at 7482.
Dow has some support here at 27130 or below at 27030.
Below on the S&P daily and of particular note to this sell off is the low volume which is more indicative of profit taking rather than a strong uptake of new sell entry orders.

Overnight Indices and USD down, Bonds and Oil up, Gold down Cryptos up. Chart Caterpillar down 2.6%.
UK retail sales 9:30, US jobs data and Philly Fed 1:30pm.

Yes the chart loading seems to be much faster on PRT Java client than the HTML5 platform.
Might be related to the number of charts you have up on each platform, in spite of overall computer cpu and memory, do you have a lot more running on the IG platform?
added: and the overall number of indicators running on each platform.

That's interesting. IG will charge us £30 per month if the value of our trades are 'very low', I presume that means under £30 a month. Does IG need to get more than £30 per month from you in spreads to make it free?
The irony is that PRT lacks some features of the web platform, in particular tick volume which is an absolute dealbreaker. Overall PRT is much faster and fully featured, but again, placing orders isn't quite as intuitive as the web platform. We need 'one platform to rule them all'.
That was written long ago and IG have tightened up since then, I think PRT from PRT is around £40/month though IG will be getting a discount job lot price.
Not sure what you mean by 'faster', I doubt the actual price feed latency is better on PRT though maybe chart loading might be?

BTC trying to break lower again passing through the recent low 9226.

Not actual share dealing (Only IG Internal Politics would know that) as such but it works perfectly fine for Spread Betting, I have created a lot of examples for this and released the code. Check my profile if you want.
Thanks, I wondered about that after I wrote it as I didn't remember seeing it on the IG Labs list.

Hello,
Hows everyone doing? I am not sure if this questions been asked before, but how need my price to display as Heiken Ashi sticks instead of regular candlesticks. Any idea how to do this?
Thank you
hi, not available on the online platform as yet and yes this has been requested before and put forward for consideration but additional requests will add weight.
Currently for HA or Renko charts you would need to use either the MT4 or the Prorealtime platforms.

Dax pirouetting around the pivot testing the recent high/low 12395 and 12430 while Dow sits over the pivot but as yet unsure which direction to take.
H1 charts;
-
BTC drops below the June low which may now act as resistance (9626) while 9226 is recent support.
H4 chart;
-
Yes a big move down sending RSI into oversold (doesn't mean buy) with support found at 57.16 and is back in a small consolidation range from early July, stronger support further down at 56 but may pause here before testing higher or lower.
H4 chart;
-
Still tracking sideways, has reached down to retest recent support so currently ranging between 1400 and 1418.

Hi,
Is there a feature where you can grab a chart to show your overall performance through certain period ? Other than downloading your trade history and doing it manually yourself.
Thanks
Goho
Hi, not on the online platform though there was talk a while back that performance metrics could be added. You can get this on the MT4 platform, not sure about the Prorealtime platform.

I'm interested in trading Oil/Natural gas and would like a use of inverse ETFs such as UGAZ,DGAZ, UWT, DWT.
While trying to open position on a demo account I get this message - This market is only for closing deals.
Can someone shed some light, thanks.
Hi, you generally get this on markets where IG decides there is not enough client participation to justify keeping the asset listed or the liquidity is so low matching trades is too difficult. For a company it might be because it's market cap has slipped below IG's minimum required.
Not sure this same notice has just been slapped on the China 300 index though.

H4 charts and Dow holding a bull flag while Dax and Ftse well correlated trying to make up lost ground and Nikkei continues to fall away.
The S&P daily put in it's first red candle for 6 days though Fed speak yesterday continued along the lines of a small rate cut in 2 weeks time.

Indices mixed USD down, Bonds up Oil up after yesterday's big drop, Gold down. Chart Microsoft down 1.4%.
CPI data for UK and EU, US housing starts, US oil inventories.

Howdy folks! Maybe I'm opening a can of worms -- in my head. 🙃 As I was looking for a volume tick chart on the IG online platform (is there one?), I've just noticed the Ask, Bid & Mid price settings. It is set to Mid. Is this best?
From my research opening and closing prices are Mid price anyway, whereas highs are usually Ask, and lows, Bid.
Any advice would be appreciated. 🍻
Hi, to open a long trade you buy the ask price and to close that long trade you sell at the bid price, the mid is just a reference between the two, the difference between the two is the brokers markup. You are best to have the chart set to mid but be aware it won't show exactly where the in/out of the trade was activated.
Tick volume shows the number of orders processed but not the size of each, the online platform shows actual volume as taken from the exchange if there is one, FX must use tick volume as there is no central exchange. A tick chart just shows orders as they are matched and the resulting price change.
Is spread betting for fools?

Sorry to disappoint as usual but an impulse move on news is not a 'set up' (EU to recalc inflation targets Euro down index up). It's just luck with fomo.
