Not that I'm aware of, if your trying to figure out P/L then download the CSV History file and calculate it off that. That's how I do my Journal entries into Edgewonk. Then in the positions window of the trading platform you can edit the book cost to match your first parcel and the platform shows the correct entry.
I run two journals Edgewonk and a custom Excel sheet that is made to match the CSV file of my trade history. I also use Sharesight to auto import my trading activity and this quickly produces the tax report ready for submission (Australian Tax)

hi Quaker,
I can't and i don't know why? I am only trading ASX share on the ig markets share trading account and it does not let me place stops on it. I have never had any trouble with CFDs and i have been using the share trading account for 12 months, making more then 4 trades a month. easy
Just did a quick pre-market check and yes, the stop function only appears after selecting the Sell side.

That is interesting, I can't test this as the market is closed but I think you need to select sell before the stop order is available? Selecting the order type first you will only see Limit (from memory). You can save the stop order for daily or good 'til cancelled. If I remember I'll pop back on in the morning.

On my share trading account I can place Sell stop orders (ASX Share trading), and I think when market opens you can place buy stop orders too. But it would be great if the same deal placement could be used from the CFD account in the share trading account.

I've been in discussion with IG support regarding an issue similar to this. On market open the current day bar does not display on some stocks, after about 10 min if you flip from Day to 4hr or any other option and back again it sometimes then displays correctly. It's been a frustrating experience especially when things are running hot when market opens. I have recorded a short video and their developers are looking into it. The more reports the better.

There was some A-Hole that recently tried to scam people in this forum. So I wouldn't be surprised if this has been removed for security reason.

That's interesting, I trade on the ASX and search using just the ticker code. Only once have I needed to enter the company name to find the correct stock. In saying this, I would love the ticker code to be available in both the positions/orders window and in the CSV trade history report.

Hi - this has probably been asked a dozen times already, but I can't seem to find the answer...
I have an open position on a stock, and I want to place both a stop loss, and a limit at the same time, to close out the position, if it either goes up or down...but I cant seem to find how to do it. If I add two seperate orders, I get a notification I can't sell it short...
Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers
I'm guessing this is in the share dealing account type? I would love this function too, but its appears it's only available on CFD's.

Hi, how do I change the EMA levels ?
I'm going to assume you have added the EMA indicator to your chart in the IG trading platform. Just simply click on the EMA reference, bottom left of the screen and then you can add / delete / change all your values there. Once that is done don't forget to save your layout.
-
take a look at the Prorealcode website, It's a page dedicated to building indicators and screeners for Prorealtime. It's certainly more advanced then the generic screener that Tradingview offer.

A colleague and I both have exactly the same issue - I reported it on Friday but still no progress or call back. The first guy I spoke to asked me to use a different browser as Microsoft Edge is not supported - but I already tried that - and so has my colleague. We are both very keen to get a resolution to this problem.
A while back a separate issue was happening (and still does but to lesser effect) where chart candles would not load within the first 10min on the daily for the ASX trading platform. I was told not to use Microsoft Edge, now this is where it gets funny.. Current version of Edge is built via Chromium, it's essentially a skinned version of chrome. M$ have added extra security and it's less of a resource hog. I use both and have no issues. Anyway this was off topic, just thought you might find it interesting.

Just an idea for the positions window, it would be great if this could be split to organise stock that you may have sold partials etc. Keeps things tidy and easier to track.
Would anyone else find this useful ?
-
Phoned the IG support phone number and this issue has now been resolved. Thank you !!
Can confirm the working orders window has returned to it's previous configuration and is fully functioning.

There has been a change recently that I have tried to raise with IG's support group, but I don't believe they understand what I'm trying to show.
Originally your orders were on one line, but recently it's split across two levels. The up/down arrows to adjust limit/stop order levels no longer displays and you can no longer manually type in the new price as this does nothing. As you have suggested you need to now cancel the order and re-submit a new order.

Edgewonk supports CFD trade imports, but not share dealing.

Second update, looks like things have been restored back to the original layout.

Update on this issue. Its appears IG have restored the download CSV file function overnight. But I have noticed the access has changed slightly, this may return to normal? but for others needing access to Share Trading data you can do the following.
Old method to access it was by clicking on the 3 dots on the right hand side of the trading account, and select history. this is no longer an option (might return??).
Now you need to go to Live accounts, select your trading account, History, Trade History, select days/weeks required, Show History, Download CSV is now back again.
Thank you for resolving this.. Certainly makes things

The page does look updated but i find the download is still there.
Looks like that is for the CFD account? The share trading account (ASX share trading in my case) still has no option to download data.

Help desk has responded and they are investigating why this issue has occurred.

Hi @CharlotteIG what has happened to the ability to download share trading history via CSV file. Without this it makes things extremely difficult to journal and keep records of trading activity.

Just reading the Tradingview sub Reddit, looks like IB is in progress. Bit of a missed opportunity here IG.
Following on from this I figured I would ask the question regarding IG. Response from TV below.

is there no way to add more indicators to your chart like rsi bollinger bands togever ect
When you add the volume indicator it opens underneath the main charting window, there is no option to add a moving average to this indicator at this time.
Example - 50 Day moving average on volume.
