Partially closed box greyed out


MW86

Question

Hi all,

Trying to reduce my position on MT4 by half from 0.20 to 0.10 but the box is greyed out on the terminal and won’t let me. On the mobile app this option isn’t even visible anymore. 

It allowed me to make this change yesterday, so I’m a little panicked  


I’m currently trying to partially close a position on the US30 and I’m based in the U.K.  

I’ve closed my terminal down and restarted it, the mobile app is up to date but it’s not made any difference. 
 

Any advice or help would be really appreciated.

Hi, open the IG Trade Terminal (from the apps pack download) and try from there. Look at > Tools

Thank you for you quick response. I don’t seem to have the above in my terminal. 
And where do I find the apps pack download?

Sorry to be a pain..

this page Number 3.

If mt4 is running will load automatically on double click from computer downloads folder then in mt4  Right click on Navigator and click Refresh.

Thank you that’s great, I never knew they were available. 
 

However I’m unable to install them as I can’t have more than one EA running on a chart at a time.  
 

I don’t understand why this is happening and it’s only started happening in the last 12 hours. 
 

It must be from the IG side as they control the positions sizes etc. 
 

Any advice would be great as this is a pretty frustrating update.

yes that's right for EAs, just open a new chart (anything) and then add the trade terminal, it will completely take it over and will show all trades on all markets.

Great thank you!

That is a great temporary fix, but I’m still confused as to why this change has happened?

I can’t manage trade position sizes via the mobile app at all and now only via the IG terminal EA. 

Is anyone having similar issues? Really need an ETA when this will be fixed or a permanent resolution.

    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
