[Margin cover]

I thought I understood this, but suppose I have five spread bet forex trades running. Can someone explain how to cover the five margins and how this is related to stop levels and total equity?

Many thanks

[Unable to Add Funds]

For the last week I have been unable to add funds to my demo spread bet account.

It has worked fine over the last year, and I am no where near the limit.

Does anyone else have same problem?

[Security Token duration]

I'm having trouble with long-term deals which will not close ( i'm using Python api)

According to the IG help desk, it looks like the security token has expired.

So, how long does a security token last, and does it need  frequent refreshing to action a close command.

Or alternatively would it be automatically refreshed by a new login immediately prior to commanding close?

 

Thanks Astrikor

[Forex Position won't close via api]

I have been running automatically with api on the fx demo platform for some time.

Occasionally when a position has been held for a long time, say >10 hours, my position will not close when instructed by api.

My software then runs a "while loop" continuously trying to close the  position.

later when I check my positions I then realise it's stalled and have to close manually - which it does without a problem.

 

Any ideas gratefully received!
