Although no one has commented on this post in a while I can see that it still actually receives a significant number of views on a monthly basis. Therefore I thought I would give an in depth run down of a few primary issues of charts not loading on a number of our platforms. 

 

The new IG desktop trading charting package 

The majority of charting issues which used to effect the IG charts have been resolved in the new desktop trading platform which we provide. You can select this in the My IG section, and because it's based on HTML5 (an updated and modern offering over flash) you will also see significantly better functionalities and customisation. The following troubleshooting methods may help.

 

  • Check our platform status page just in case there is a known issue.
  • Try and open IG ia a different browser. If you're using chrome, try IE for example. If you're still experiencing issues it's likely something related to your internet connection or your computer. As a side note we generally recommend Google Chrome.
  • Clear your browser cache making sure to select to do so 'from the beginning of time'. 

However, you may also need to go through the following troubleshooting methods if you are on the older flash charts to clear 'flash cache'. This will be specifically for 'Chrome' however other browsers may have a different method.

 

  • Click on the 'secure' or 'IG Group Ltd' green text in the URL bar.

  • Select 'site settings' and then make sure you have switched flash to 'always on'.

  • Clear your Flash cache by clicking on this link and selecting ‘delete all sites’ in the website settings storage panel towards the top of the screen

 

My charts aren't loading on MT4

More often than not this is experienced by new MT4 users who are unfamiliar with the software. 

 

  • Make sure you are connected to the correct servers and have an active connection (in the bottom right hand corner). For reference the servers are mt4.ig.com:443
  • Right click on the list of markets on the left and slick 'show all' to make sure all markets are visible. 
  • Simply click, hold down, and drag your market into the 'waiting for update' screen. Your market should load. 

 

My charts aren't loading on Pro Real Time

Make sure you're aware of the minimum requirements for PRT. This is listed on their website, and states...

Hi ,

 

Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with the charts. The charts use Flash player to run, and it may be that this is being blocked from running. Have you tried loading the platform with Google Chrome, as this has Flash built in? Alternative you can try and clear your Flash player cache using the following steps:

 

  1. Close your web browser.
  2. Click on the Apple logo in the upper, right-hand corner of your screen and choose "System Preferences"
  3. Click on the "Flash Player" icon near the bottom of the System Preferences window.
  4. Under the "Storage" tab, click on the "Delete All" button.
  5. On the next window, make sure the "Delete All Site Data and Settings" option is selected and unselect the "Delete All Audio and Video License Files" option.
  6. Click the "Delete Data" button.
  7. Close the System Preferences window.
  8. Open your web browser.

Do let us know how you get on!

Hi 

 

Sorry to hear they're not working!

 

Might seem like an odd suggestion, but are the time, date and region settings correct on your Mac? If they're wrong, it can cause problems.

 

Also, could you try a different browser? If using Safari, try Chrome and vice versa.

 

Let me know how you get on!

 

Tim

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • 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.
