We should bear in mind that this is happening only on Demo. IG gives low priority to the demo platform – which they will let you know in most of their replies to any demo platform issues.

As far as I am aware their are no reports of issues on live accounts.

Yes it would be great if the demo platform was as reliable as the live platform as I am sure it would give more traders the confidence to switch from demo to live – but IG’s policy is what it is and we just have to take it into consideration when strategies are stopped on the demo platform.
