Oh well, this pushes Live Trading even further away for me!
Here is the full answer from IG
The profit showing as £24.7K should be a representation of the profit/loss of this strategy since the first time you used it (appears to have been 19-Apr-2017). You would need to delete it and re-create the Strategy to remove this balance as stopping and starting will continue to add P/L to this total. I suggest copying the current code and pasting this into a new one.
Meaningful forward testing since the IG server crash on Aug 9th has been non existent for end of day strategies and now it seems also for your strategies too. That is over two months of zero forward testing for me. I still do not understand why IG do not put equal importance on demo as they do to live – as an accurate demo platform will do wonders for getting trades moved from demo to live as quickly as possible. I fear that with the reduced profits since the ESMA changes that increased importance on demo is now unfortunately even less likely to happen. It is an ever decreasing spiral in the wrong direction.
