I've managed to solve the problem thanks.

Good afternoon to all at IG, as I'm new to this platform i have a question concerning closing trades as every platform has a different system. can anyone point me in the direction of where i can find the correct process for calculating how closing trades in profit 'Blue' affect my balance as I've closed four in profit and the last two trades reduced my opening balance. It is possible that the profit was too low to close but It would be nice to know where the limits are as I'm sure we have all closed trades and were glad we did. Can anyone help ?

Oh, sorry I'm very good on Mt4. combined with Finviz Screener which makes for a good combination, i chose this platform because of its presentation, news and analysis as an addition to my own systems.

i will give it a try. Thanks.

Hello,i did try but in that section but its gone from 'all history'. Also i think the confusion came from my understanding of the listings on Oil in the end I gave up. I have made hundreds of trades on other platforms and so far have never made that mistake so something was unclear which i still haven't managed to rectify.

Good morning to everyone, as a newbie to IG i have had some problems with getting started on this platform, I have been trading elsewhere for over nine months so have a good idea as to how trading works. as you will have a better understanding of this platform your help will be welcomed. I've been watching Oil for a while and when i saw the collapse i thought hmm this is an opportunity to get started on here so i went to the oil listings and clicked on 'Oil all sessions' then picked the listing of oil price that matched the price listed on Marketwatch so i could track its performance on here and on an independent source. For a while the the prices tracked each other quite well then it all went south meaning the Oil price had risen while my trade died. i quickly turned to CNBC news channel who explained that retail investors who believed they were investing in crude oil have got a rude awakening by investing in Oil futures contract rather than 'Spot' (cash) oil. can anyone explain where i went wrong ? and how do i avoid this mistake again or is there a section that describes this so I do not trade the wrong sector in future. I tried to find a record of my transaction to see if i could make a comparison myself but the records have gone.

Thanks...

Hello, I've recently joined IG so am not familiar with your trading practices yet. MT4 yes but I like the informative side so wish to continue on this platform. So being a newbie my question is How do i ensure the no stop loss feature is enabled as it's hovering up and down when i try to place a trade. Should i ignore it ?
