Currently experimenting with the web demo platform and I was wondering if there is a way to set a custom alert for margin calls that I specify? For instance if I want to receive an instant text message when my margin reaches a custom % that I choose, how would I do that? Currently I am only aware of the built in margin calls (100%, 75%) and only aware of email alerts being sent for them (much less likely to gain my attention in a timely manner). What if I want a text alert and/or want to be alerted before I hit the 100% mark? Thanks

Hi, I opened a demo account last night and am using IG web platform. I figured out how to manually edit my virtual balance, but I was wondering if/how leverage works on the demo account? At a glance it doesn't seem to have any leverage but I could easily be missing something. My understanding (and correct me if I'm wrong plz) is that a live IG account for a US resident will have 50x leverage, but what about the demo account? If there are settings that control leverage options, please let me know where to find those. Also, if I download the IG app for Android, will it allow me to login and use the same demo account? Yesterday I mistakenly opened an MT platform demo account alongside the web platform and had to have a support rep close the MT demo since only one demo is allowed. I just want to make sure I don't mistakenly cause any double/conflicting account issues if I install the IG android app. Lastly, does the IG demo have a time limit or expiration like some others do? If so, how long is the demo good for? Thanks!

I've always had trouble with 24hr time format and it still tends to throw me off a bit when I try and convert it in my head, so how can I change the displayed times at the bottom of a chart to 12hr (preferably Central) time? I am using the IG web platform. Thanks.
