@ Grahal. If only that were the case ! I know this thread started talking about the demo platform but whatever we’ve talked about above is also applicable to the Live platform, same drawbacks/issues.
Demo platforms having reduced functionality (and as we can all verify, they do) we can live with somewhat, although not ideal. But the Live platform also having those same problems ? Well….. that’s pretty much unacceptable in my view.
A topic for another thread, but in my view a Demo platform should be an EXACT copy of the Live minus the plug-ins that execute live trades, connects to the dealers/exchanges and moves actual cash around. Otherwise what’s the point of a demo if it doesn’t resemble live ? When you test drive a car from a dealer and like it and want to purchase, the dealer then doesn’t go “that’s great, we’ll give you the exact same car but it’ll not have a steering wheel, stereo or lights but the bulk of the car (95%+) will be present, so you should have the same experience…..” 🙂
Appreciate I’m being oversimplistic perhaps and there is more coding between the two platforms than we realise but the principle is valid.
