[Weekend spread betting indices]

IG says you can trade through the weekend using the weekend market indices but if I access say Wall St weekend it says trading not open? Do I need to do anything to gain acccess to these weekend markets?

Thanks - I understand now - nearly. So I have MT4 on my desktop and I have an IG Demo account working fine. I have added MT4 in my IG account and its sitting there in my dashboard with funds in it so how do I bring MT4 together with my  IG MT4  account to create a live trading environment ?

Hi, mt4 is a desktop platform not a web based platform so if you downloaded IG's mt4 the exe file will be in your downloads folder. Just double click and follow instructions, a icon will also be placed on your desktop. 

You can open a demo straight away from the platform, for a live account go to your My IG web page and click 'add an account' and select mt4 cfd or sb.

Hi,thanks for the response.I've downloaded MT4 and have a demo account. I added an MT4 SB account  and its showing on my IG dashboard but I was expecting to be able to go to the MT4 platform from my dashboard as i did when using Pro Real Time. If that isn't the case how do i get to see the MT4 charts in my IG account?

Thanks

I've been using Pro Real Time in IG  both as a demo and live account and am able to select PRT from the blue platform  button with the drop down menu. I want to try MT4 and have downloaded it a few times but it is nowhere to be seen in my IG account like PRT is. I'm clearly doing something wrong and would appreciate some help with this. many thanks
