I am a new US client so it may have something to do with a kink in the system, I know IG is still working all these things out, but who knows.
I hope you are right, I don't recall anyone posting a similar 131 error message problem before on the forum, I'd also send the helpdesk an email if you haven't already done to request tech staff look into the problem.

Hello,
I am seeing this error all the time when attempting to back test in MT4 with EVERY EA I can find. My lot size doesn't matter, tried a percentage of account, I tried every lot size I could before giving up, 1.0, .1,.2,.3 etc.... I messed with max slippage from 3 to 6, not sure that even matters, but what is the deal with MT4 and back testing? I do have a live account but still not trading because I can't back test my system.
Any help would be awesome, thanks in advance!

I don't have fear, I'm just stupid.
Developing a systematic approach counters the adverse affects of emotion; anxiety, stress, greed and fear. You really only need to be good at just one strategy. I never heard of anyone lasting who relied on their feelings, it's just not consistent because feelings are a rollercoaster of emotions.

Dow retesting the all time high from overnight but lacking real drive at the mo, it took the US market open to provide the push yesterday.

I've added these 2 links to this thread as they are pertinent to the subject of making a plan and how to make a plan.

Hey. I'm new here so I wanted to know the dealing hours of D100s before opening a professional account and if I can be able to open 1000 contracts?
Hi, there are no binary options available in EU countries due to EU regulations.
If you have an Australian account here is a link to the digital options details page, see the 'notes' section for additional details.
If in any of the other countries that do have 100s check this list linked below and select.

can i buy shares listed on NZX
Hi, IG lists these NZ stocks, but as stated below you could phone the dealing desk and ask though IG has restrictions on company size for their listings.

Dow resting on R1 after a hard climb up during the US and Asian sessions while Dax is still pulling it's boots on. Dax made little effort yesterday and the burden of a sagging EU economy is really weighing. EU indy prod figures at 10am.

@Caseynotes I read this entire thread this afternoon. You deserve a medal for the knowledge, patience and outstanding sarcasm that you have given to this thread.
That is all.
Thank you @pipe_wrangler, I do endeavour to push the boundaries in all the fields you mention and more. I've found that when trying to convey a theme which is new to the recipient repetition is boring and usually ignored and sometimes a more interesting tack is helpful.

I am unable to view my charts on new computer (PC). It refers to the IG new platform to solve issues - how do I know if I'm using that or conversely get the new platform?
Hi, if you have logged straight onto the old platform the problem is likely site permissions, click the padlock icon in the address bar, select settings and check Flash to 'Allow' (not 'ask') then exit settings and click on the 'Reload Page' banner.
The new platform only displays leveraged accounts as yet and can be accessed from the 'My IG' dashboard.

Dow sails on leaving the weaker hands behind, after Powell's testimony to congress the July 31st rate cut seems assured and nothing major on the calendar before then to upset the cart which all probably means it's time to put the crash helmet on.

Indices Gold Oil Crypto up, Bonds USD down. Chart Copper bottoming out.
China data 8am, EU indy prod 10am, US PPI 1:30pm.

On the M15 I see a spike and bull channel and now consolidation, I would box off the upper and lower reaches of the consolidation and wait for a break which might be in either direction. In that situation the break lower to retest the top of the spike has the slightly higher probability.
Just noticed we got our retest of the top of the spike and has since tested lower.

Very badly.
You'd think I'd learn.
And there is plenty to learn, unfortunately many think you can learn it all from the charts but that's just not the case, you need a framework that can be applied to the charts.
I have recommended this before in the Technical Analysis thread because over the years it is the most concise and up to date learning packages I've seen.
Of special importance are the bottom half articles that make up the Study Guide section plus the video on Order Flow from the Lessons section.

My General Feeling it was going to Drop was because it has been for over 12hours.
As for Data releases, it's something I should be aware of.Yes, major news events can cause very sudden and major disruption to order flow, they can cause sudden reversals and start new long term trends. They are times when spread widens, volatility increases and liquidity can dry up which is why many retail traders avoid trading around them altogether. You should certainly know when they are due, I check the econ calendar every day and try to point out the major ones in the daily dashboard thread in the mornings.

The sudden drop at exactly 13:30 had nothing to do with your chart patterns, it was due to the figures in the US data release. 🤣🤣

I've thanked you for your input and advice, so confused now.
I have had reasons. I have had a plan. I don't just look at a chart and go Buy/Sell.
I've told you many times. I have a bad habit of anticipating Reversals. Yesterday was a prime example.
However, i've been 100% right on Gold this morning, but hesitated.
It's just dropped.Ah right, so you knew what the data release at 1:30 was going to be then, why didn't you tell the rest of us what the figures were going to be?

Casey I've not been on the Demo for 3 weeks........I don't keep going back to the Demo!
But 80% success rate must count for something? That's not 1 time i tried the Demo, that 2 months. Fear aside. Same charts, same Instruments, Same 2k account.
I've proved time and time again. Not sure why you have such a stance on it. The only difference as we've discussed is the Emotion attached. ergo; get over that, then proving success Live should theoretically be the same as the Demo.
Like I've said, Fear, Emotion aside. I've clearly not got a hold of my emotion Live. Especially when it comes to FOMO.
Maybe i was lucky this morning on the Gold chart. Maybe i didn't notice the down trend, or the consolidating wedge. Unfortunate that I changed from £20pp to £6 otherwise I'd be looking at closer to £100 win, but i still would have only risked 1pt at Resistance level. I couldn't take another £20 or £40 loss. So now the stakes are smaller.
No idea where Gold is going so going to leave it now.
Cheers.80% success on demo proves nothing, 100% failure on live proves everything which is why I have this stance.
Entering trades with no real reason or rules based plan is just punting and will fail (see the connection?).
Emotions can't yet be surgically removed, they are yours to keep, which is why you need a rules based plan (full circle).

Dow punches straight into R2 on the US market open while Dax still languishes below the pivot, the correlation really has broken down for now.
