    Are you sure you dont mix USD and Euro?

    113 Euro could be the same as 126 USD?

    I've tried to calculate margins since I have moved over the MT4.

     

    On the IG website (international) the margin on the Dax is currently 620 pounds.

    On MT4 with the size being 0.01, the margin is 138 pounds. 

    I don't know how that I calculated.

    there are 3 separate charts for Wall street cash CFDs (click on the arrow next to the name) Cash £1 and Cash $2 and Cash $10 (live or demo). Each have a different margin requirement but as in my previous post, the Spread Bet £0.5/point has the lowest.

    I know I'm going on about this, but both LIVE & DEMO is on 1 Pound each.

    hello ,

    have the same problem don;t know what the login detail are for MT4!

    Also IG is not replying to my emails for this..

    I have installed the MT4, open the account at ig platform, but login in MT4 doesnt work

    I've been trying for the last 2 hours to get my MT4 IG account password. Either I'm going crazy or this is not a user friendly approach at all. 

  4. Why is the minimum contracts on let's call it the Wall Street capped at 0.50 or on the Germany 30 Cash at 1?

    This has significant effects on the minimum margin required. I know of traders that trades with less that 600 pounds (due to currency conversion from South Africa for instance).

     Why does the demo account behave differently to the live account in the above case?

    This has been bothering me as well. 

     

    LIVE - Wall Street (1Pound) - Spread 3.6 - Contracts 0.5 - Margin - 656 pounds

    DEMO - Wall Street (1Pound) - Spread 3.6 - Contracts 2 - Margin - 2622 pounds

     

    Is this to force demo traders to see increased profits when the indices moves in their favor - eager to open a LIVE account?

    If it moves against them you can easily just "deposit" fake money again.

  6. Okay I have found the solution.

     

    1) You need to download MT$ from the IG website and NOT on the MT4 website. It needs to show the below once installed

    2) It will give you the option to add your details if you have already created a Meta Trader account under  My IG.

    3) The server will be the IG-LIVE server.

    4) Limited Indices will be available.

    They have not even bother to reply to my 3 e-mails.

    Was also on phone last Friday for 40 minutes . No answer, fed up and cut it off.

    The query was overnight charges in £1 long bet in US Crude, charged me £10.74. Doesn't seem right.

     

     

    THANKS IG

    I feel fed up as well
