Hello,
So I plan to day trade US stocks. I have opened a demo account with IG.
It has been very frustrating as I have been told that 'this stock is not available to trade' or 'you can only trade for a close'. It is not clear if I am demo trading CFDs or shares.
I have attempted to contact IG - no response. The information on the internet site is poor to say the least.
Another frustrating thing is that I have signed up to Finviz live account to screen for stocks. Having read books and videos I am aware of the need to be clam, to plan your trade and to determine how much you are willing to risk in a trade. I then log on to the IG demo platform and the ticker is not there, I go down the list of screened 'Gappers', the ones on the list are not there. I did ask IG if I am doing something wrong - as I say no response. Is there a difference between a demo account or a real trading account, does the real trading account show all the stocks that are available? What do you do if a stock is not available on that platform, I even asked IG if they can be added - again no response.
I have alot of questions but I am not getting anywhere. I am frustrated and any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
