Hi guys I recently opened my live CFD account and deposited some funds. I made a few trade but unfortunately i am not ready. I am planning to withdraw all funds out of my CFD live and start practicing with demo account. My question is Are there fees for leaving your live CFD account inactive for months without any open position or funds in it? Thanks

Hello Everyone ! I am based in Australia. I have a query about the difference between IG live account, demo account and IG professional. I have been watching stocks with gap ups in the price pre-market due to earnings & news etc then placing a pre-order before the market opens. For example... On my CFD demo account, Stock A previous close is $5 and has gapped up, place an order at $5.50, market opens up at $6, order filled straight away. close position and a profit taken. This is what i have been testing in demo mode anyway. However, when i do the exact same on my live CFD account, placed order at $5.50, but my order was filled on open at $6 instead. Therefore, it was much harder to sell at profit as opposed to gain entry at $5.50 like in my demo. My questions are 1. Does this strategy only work on demo account because the order isnt real which makes it very hard to practice when there is a difference between demo and live account. 2. What is the best way to prevent your order from being filled at the price you dont want it to? ie the open price is usually not preferred. 3. Is there a difference with the ways your order are filled in standard IG live account verse IG professional? that is does IG professional fill your order at pre-market open much better than standard? Many thanks!!
