Hi The company is Swizz but appears to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the price looks to be in US dollars. IG do list many US stocks but there are certain requirements eg, size and liquidity and the list is amended on a regular basis.

Apologies if I have got this completely wrong.

Ok, so that's the same as the earlier poster in the thread and looks like it needed an IG staffer to intervene to reset your account. Maybe or can help from here or perhaps you could either give the helpdesk a ring or use the live account and go to the 'Help' tab, then 'Technical Support', and type in the dialog box the problem and it will be sent to an IG technician.
Hopefully won't be too hard to fix.

I post lots of charts for many reasons, for instance the monthly and weekly give good overall perspective but of course not for an intra-day trade. Sometimes a certain time frame demonstrates a point I am making better than others so I will use it. But the main time frames I use for determining trades is the 5 min, 1 hour and the daily.
So when I demonstrated using the 100 MA on the 5 min dax chart and you replied that it didn't work when you used a different MA on the 30 min chart I thought yeah, here is some one who just doesn't listen.

No oilpro, it's 5 min, 1 hour and daily charts for price action alignment, you never listen.

Hi , Does the option to activate demo appear in the Prorealtime section in the settings tab on the dashboard, and does the pointer change to white glove when you hover the mouse over it?
It may be that IG have simply not activated it for your particular account.

The Adobe flash program could have been corrupted and may need an uninstall/reinstall. I vaguely remember the same thing happened to me a while back on the old platform.

Excellent question and the reality is NO unless you have a guaranteed stop. Liquidity is the key, to get out of a long position there must be someone willing to take that contract off you, same with a short position. If the market is in freefall there will be no liquidity and you are stuck with it. IG has become more sensitive concerning risk because though these 'black swan' events are rare crypto is clearly a high potential candidate. In 2015 the SNB removed the swissie/euro peg and price plunged 2000 pip in minutes, some people in the market with a 5 grand account and a 20 pip stop suddenly found themselves owing IG over 200 grand. IG had to write off many of those losses and that's when they introduced the guaranteed stop and the tied statement "losses can exceed account deposit". A similar though not as catastrophic black swan event occurred during the night of the Brexit referendum. I watched both these events live on screen and it was clear anyone trapped was just a passenger.

Hi . Not all brokers offer the signal service on MT4, you are right, there is no signals tab on IG's MT4 so I suspect IG are one that doesn't, maybe can check for you.

no, that's not your mac, the classic platform is being slowly phased out by IG. Is there not another function key that serves as a right click?

Very much a picture perfect example of a head and shoulders pattern on the Dow yesterday including a battle over the neckline and a measured move down (head to neckline = neckline to target).
