I have a similar problem. I have tried to create a "Demo Account" several times and it has failed every time with a "system error". When I contact "IG Help Desk" they claim that there are 2 "Demo Accounts" in my name but I cannot see any. So far I have been going around circles with them eventhough I have provided screenshots of my dashbord which shows no "Demo Accounts" at all. Something is not right.

Not sure why mine stopped. I uninstalled saving personal data and reinstalled and it restarted no problem exactly as before the shutdown.

At what point do you get the 'system error'?

Never had the problem you have, I've started many new demo accounts, didn't know IG recorded them.

I run 2 separate mt4 platforms, one for live and one for demo. You can have them both running at the same time.

Just need to rename the first installed  icon (or the second install will try to use it too) and on the second install the opening pop-up click 'settings' don't put the second install in the same folder as the first one (c: Program Files (x86).

Instead click browse and make a new folder in (C: ) and name it whatever and install the 2nd mt4 in there.

In dashbord when I click "Open demo accounts" I get the following error message:

"We couldn't process your details because of a technical problem. Please try again, call us on 0800 409 6789 / +44 (0)20 7896 0079 or helpdesk.uk@ig.com."

not sure what you mean by dashboard?

To open a demo account open the mt4 live platform and in 'File' click 'Open an Account' click on the demo feed in the pop up box to highlight then click next and follow instructions.

The platform will then generate a demo account and an icon will show in the Navigator panel below the one for live and you can switch back and forth between them.

I am referring to a standard demo account on the online platform not an mt4 live platform. I just thought there may be a general problem with demo accounts and there does not seem to be any knowledgable support staff currently available to sort it out.

    • 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. USDOLLAR (DXY) WEEKLY PRICE CHART – APRIL 28, 2022 {{THE_FUNDAMENTALS_OF_BREAKOUT_TRADING}} What is your view on the US Dollar – bullish or bearish?   Apr 28, 2022 | DailyFX Nick Cawley, Strategist
