I am trying to look at different FMCG companies e.g. Unilever, P&G, Nestle etc. I am keen to figure out the Total Shareholder returns for these i.e. capital appreciation + dividends etc - possibly for a 3 year window. Can i find this on the IG website or somewhere.

Not sure if new accounts can use the old platform?
doent look like.. always funny when the new platform has lesser features than the old one

Hi @MongiIG.. tnx but i dont think that it answers the question..
How/Where do i find these individual Tesla options? I cant seem to search for it in the system (see screenshot in my prev response)
-
Hi @MongiIG,. tnx for this ... i am struggling to see where you got the Tesla options in the side bar.. Attached is a screenshot of my demo CFD.. even when i search for Tesla, I dont see the same options as you do.. I must be doing something wrong
-
I am new to Options trading, but keen to explore and learn. Ideally looking at virtual money on a stock like Tesla. Can you trade Tesla options on IG. IG currently seems to do Options for Indices, Commodities and FX. Or am i missing something here.
Finally, havent figured out difference between CFD and Options... Lots to learn..
Any other broker recommendation also welcome (if allowed here)
BTW, i cant see to find this listed in my IG windows

I am in the US and Do not see the daily candles appearing in the window of time from 5:00pm to 9:00pm New York Time. Is there a setting that I must enter for my time zone?
As per my understanding, a 'Day' is a 24 hour cycle irrespective of where you are.. not a session. So on my settings in the UK, i get it from midnight to midnight rather than London session. So i suspct you are getting a mid-night to midnight East Coast..
-
i think i know the answer.. all candlesticks run by on the hour..
So 1H is applicable from 10-11, 11-12, 12-1
30M is 10-10:30; 10:30-11, 11-11:30. 11:30-12
all based on GMT.
5 mins slots run in the same way.
IG's 'Day' timeframe is midnight to midnight (atleast in the UK)

You should have only 2 feeds live and demo
Delete mt4 installation
open a demo account
https://www.ig.com/uk/trading-platforms/metatrader-4/mt4-demo-account
Download mt4
https://www.ig.com/uk/trading-platforms/metatrader-4/download-mt4
Tnx.. I filled the Demo opening form online, and now got an email from IG asking to download
this is probably the 7th download and reinstall... done that
.. again, when the screen opens, it can connect to IG-Live but no IG-Demo,,, there must be a log file that i can check .... the journal is showing it cannot connect
-
Well the problem seems to persist... the helpdesk deleted the real account. So have downloaded a new MT4.. now it seems to connet to the live server but no such luck with the demo server... any idea what is this setup challenge...
File>>>Open an account gives me this screen.. scan brings nothing more on demo... It does ask me for Live details if i choose Live - but that would open a live account...
-
i think the mystery may have been solved... got this from IG
I need to close my existing MT4
-
Also, when the alert is displayed on my mobile... it would be good to have the message displayed too, currently just shows generic text
-
Is there a way to pause IG alerts. I currently have a few alerts based on indicators. Once i it setup, i would like to pause it for some time e..g night or weekends. Currently i have to delete the indicator and then recreate it. Its a pain when you hvae multiple indicators across multiple pairs. Is there a way to do this?

there shouldn't be a block on IG, perhaps it is because you are trying on a work setup that is causing the problem.
not sure... because i can get the MT4 from metatrader dotcom to work but struggling with the IG version. Can i use the metatrader from elsewhere to connect to the IG server? what is the IG server address i should add to the login screen
-
I tried rescanning, but no cigar. It is on my work laptop. Standard chrome runs on an auto proxy (so i dont know my proxy servers). i tried clicking on the proxy setting for mt4, but no luck. i tried going on the live with my live mt4, again no luck.
I had downloaded MT5 & MT4 from the metatrader website. i could connect it to their website. can i repoint that to an IG server?

you can't have downloaded from the IG site because IG don't do mt5. sounds like you should uninstall both mt4 and 5 and clear the files from your download folder then download IG's mt4 and apps pack from the IG download page.
if you have not actually transferred funds into the mt4 account it will remain dormant, if you try to trade on it it will just say 'insufficient funds'.
i removed everything and started again... i get to this screen, If i choose New Demo account.. it will not go anywhere
(BTW, when i first open MT4, i do get this screen)

Hi, you can make your own mt4 demo account once you have downloaded mt4 from IG's download page. Double click the IG4setup icon in your download folder, this will open mt4 and make a shortcut on your computer desktop. In File > Open an account, you should see the IG live and demo feeds in the pop up, click on the demo to highlight and click Next and follow the instructions including receive newsletter to set up a demo account. You can switch between live and demo by clicking on the relevant icon in the Navigator tab.
Also download the IG app pack, when you double click it in your download folder it will automatically load onto mt4 if it's running.
You don't need to fund the live account at all.
Hi... cant see it.. it allows me to connect to IG Live but not demo. I dont want to use the live account. Infact is there a way i can shut down the MT4 Live account? i tried filling out the form, but no cigar.
I have downloaded the MT5, but looks like i might have to change broker

I have a Real and Demo IG account. I use the web based platform and now looking to use the MT4. The videos say that I can simply add an MT4 demo account by going to my dashboard and adding account. I did the same, and it has added a MT4 to my Real Account !! I dont want it at this stage.
I cant seem to find a way to add a MT4 Demo. I have downloaded the software but wont let me set it up. any ideas how to fix this

hi, yes, first make sure 1-click dealing is switched off and 'net off' is switched on, then click on 'Close' the position and the options for partial closing will come up.
tnx... works like a charm.. The next level of question is, can i set this to automatically trigger? Just like i set a Limit, that will be triggered when it is hit. I want my £10 lot gets partially spread when it hits a trigger level 1, then another set when it hits trigger 2 and so on
-
Is there a way to parially close a position when it hits a certain level to book profits? Eg.
I place a £10 trade per pip.. The overall Limit is 20 pips.
Is there a way, I can do a partial close of 5 at 10 pips, 3 at 15 pips and 2 at 20. I should be able to split the lot and the levels.
-
I have set up some indicators which i want to be triggered everytime it happens during the day. This is fab. However, there is no way to PAUSE the alert, so that i can turn it off during the night. Otherwise it will keep beeping every 15 mins. You can delete the alert but not pause. if you delete it, i have to recreate the alert in the morning.
The only way i get around this, is to turn off IG notifications on the phone during the night. Is there a better way to do this?
-
i would be keen to know the answer to this one too

Hi..
Newbie question
Is there a way to find out how much time is left in a candlestick before it switches to the next one. I am assuming it is a standard setting somewhere that i am missing
Tnx
