Hi, just wondering if you fixed this?

A matter of perspective, I guess. I look at it this way...
After thinking about this some more I think you are right about apps running in browsers. Looks like the IG web platform is written in JavaScript using a well-known framework.
Makes sense to think of it was an app. 😊

In contrast, a desktop MT4 platform (or a broker-dealer's ih-house platform) is hosted on the trader's local machine and communicates directly with the broker-dealer's data server and trade server. There is no browser involved. As a side note, broker-dealers offering MT4 generally have a separate trade server dedicated to MT4.
I would think there wouldn't be much difference in terms of the messages which are sent between the app in the browser and a MT4 client?
e.g. both would communicate with the broker's server such as sending request messages for price bar info to display and sending execute messages for buy/sell orders.

Great question. I think it would make more sense to be able to edit and delete posts until they have a reply?

I see that you're trading within an app, within a browser.
To me it looks like they are trading within a browser not within an app within a browser?
