Hi,
On MT4 setup, I'm getting a message that says "Please specify the proxy server options. I don't know the proxy server info. Can someone provide it?
Hi, you should only be getting that message if you have selected 'Enable proxy server' from 'Tools' > 'Options'.
Uncheck and select IG from the top dropdown box, see pic below.

Useful fairly extensive guide to bull and bear traps using text, diagrams and video.
One key point to add regarding any chart pattern is that when something becomes so obvious that everyone can see it the likelihood of a trap being set increases greatly.

Casey, I think you've nailed looking at you snapshot.
212,966 was one of the numbers I saw a day or two back. It must be the size of the last trade whenever that was?
The indicative share price is presumably from those trades too .... which is why my offers are not accepted.
The update to live data action is now in context too!
It leads to this section (starting) ..
Data Feeds
Data feeds give you control over which shares and live prices you see.
Activating one of the data feeds below incurs a small monthly fee. However, we will refund this fee in each month that you make the minimum number of trades on that exchange. This number is indicated in the column marked ‘Rebate level’.
Sorted! Cheers, two birds with one stone there! Wondered what that meant.
The snap was from the exchange site; https://www.asx.com.au/asx/share-price-research/company/TOU

That's a screenshot from my dashboard yesterday after market close. It states the price as 2.5c, which is in agreement with other sources.
The same today, the IG dashboard fo my account shows LPD +3.85% (or 0.1c up) with a closing price of, wait: 2.5c ! Hmmm, that's the same as yesterday's closing price.
I see this market has gone 'closing trades only', seems to be very low in liquidity.

Why is Prorealtime "Disconnected" this evening? DC
The IG status page says PRT is operational and someone posted a PRT chart just an hour ago so the connection problem may be local.

While waiting I can make a few observations that should interest you, no doubt you will have seen the colossal mess Deutsche Bank has got itself into with it's derivatives business, a lesson there, but it has made the DB stock very volatile which draws many traders because it increases risk and therefore opportunity.
A point to remember though is that charts are not the market, they are only a visual representation of the market, a simulation. That's quite a difficult thing to do considering how a market works. Someone can pick up the phone and take out multiple handles in a split second and suddenly there is no market, the best bid and best offer are miles apart, until the book is reloaded nothing happens, once bids and offers can start getting paired again the market can restart but there is going to be a gap in price and a gap in time. You won't usually notice this on the higher time frames except on very illiquid stocks where a whole day can past with no activity whatsoever, but you will see it more often on the very low time frames on many stocks and even sometimes on the indices.
So because the charts are only a simulation they always have those 3 little words printed in the bottom left hand corner that the broker will always point to at times like these.
Worth adding this Tradingview chart which use Oanda broker data if memory serves, shows the same lack of continuity.
So M1 DB chart from Monday see the 14:35 red candle, no 14:36 candle, then 14:37 and 14:38 (highlighted).

After an initial move lower Dow back to re-check the pivot with Dax following so direction for the session still undecided.

Also facing this problem. Downloaded IG MT4 this morning. Next won't highlight even after checking the newsletter box.
Edit: worth nothing, that the deposit amount, and the leverage option are also greyed out.
Not seeing a problem, wondering if the account type needs to be set, see pic below.
Maybe @JamesIG, can check as there have been a number of peeps with a similar problems.

Quite confusing?
I'm not familiar with the share dealing ticket and you are right the number isn't on the instruction videos. The only thing I can see that is remotely close are volume figures (see pic)
Hopefully someone will let us know.

Is it possible to have a split screen with charts for two FX pairs side by side ? Say for example,Daily chart for AUS/USD on left side and NZD/USD on right side in a Workspace?
Hi, see this thread linked below.
