Importance of quantitative data. Funds are always long and short and re-balance according to changing price, fundamentals and news. The role of the risk manager in supervising traders.

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?

Hi . You can't for the any of the IG watchlists but there should be no problem deleting any watchlist or components of any watchlist you have created by hovering over and right clicking for menu option box.

Hi On the new platform go to 'MyIG' (start up page or top right corner on the platform) - then click 'settings' see 'change password' in the list.

Hi I'm not sure you can but if you open a new browser tab then the IG log-on page the live chat icon will come up after a few seconds in bottom right hand corner.

Hi Do you mean two charts on the same workspace? If so just click the reduce icon next to the close icon and then resize and drag the charts around.

Hi Welcome, take a look at the cryto mega-thread at https://community.ig.com/t5/FX-and-Cryptocurrency/Cryptocurrency-Mega-Thread/m-p/14172#M1522 For up-coming companies put AIM into the IG search tab on the home page to learn more about that market. Good luck.

Hi , no apology necessary, no offence taken, just not sure why you don't have separate templates for each indicator set. You can make up, name and save as many templates as you want. So when you open a new chart for the instrument just select the time frame and then load the appropriate template from your saved templates which will replace all the indicators.

Hi I must have misunderstood but it looked like you were wanting to make multiple templates to apply to copies of a chart.

Hi This tutorial video may help. from the PRT tutorial page. https://www.prorealtime.com/en/video-tutorials

Slow day being a Japan and US bank holiday, catching up on and older podcast with John Carter on aggressive trading. 1 hr 6 min. https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-069-john-carter/

Hi A good guide here, http://www.cleanfinancial.com/reducing_your_risk_when_spread_betting.php The account size you will need will be determined by the size of stop loss order on the trade, the bet size per point and the percentage amount of your account you are willing to risk on the trade.

Hi No, the companies operate like a business (like a casino), you as a trader must operate like a business (like a casino) and not like a punter (gambler).

If you are trading a dollar currency pair keep one eye on the the dollar basket. Look day to day, weak dollar or strong dollar. Most other currencies fall into line, if they are trying to go one way but the overall dollar move doesn't suit they will go sideways instead until it does.

Very interesting podcast discussing bet sizing and risk management. Goes into outcomes of experiments that do not come out as you would expect and helps explain how you can lose with a seemingly common sense approach. Particularly pertinent as the guest is Victor Haghani who was a founding member of Long Term Capital Management that famously went bust in 1998 and I think still holds the record as the biggest corporate bust of all time. 45 min long and quite a bit of math but worth hanging on. https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-129-victor-haghani/

Interesting 35 min podcast from Bloomberg where traders interview a world championship poker player.

Hi  &  sorry if I have missed something but doesn't the Bid- Ask colour band (on price) indicator already do that? 

Hi  The advanced charting platform is ProRealTime in the drop down list. Be aware there is a charge at the end of the month if you use it but don't make at least 2 round turn trades during the month. Even just a couple of quick scalping in and outs will do.

Hi  Do you mean there is a discrepancy between IG's (a broker) prices coming through the PRT platform and the prices of another broker that you are using are using to place trades? If so can you take advantage of the discrepancy, potentially every traders dream.

Just to follow up the last post, click View click Market watch right click on any pair click Specification. Look at Margin Currency In IG MT4 it is fixed on GDP but I think other versions maybe changeable? 

I fired up the old MT Quattro myself a couple of weekends ago to test fire a couple new indicators I had downloaded, after not using it for some years it only took me a couple of hours to remember how to do the basics. Are you using the IG version MT4? Do you have pound symbols after the pair name?
