"Well.....there certainly is something up as i have seen this too....But the difference was between the Live chart on my Tablet and the Live chart on work PC.  The candles were different at specific points on the same Instrument, and Timeframe.  This made me realise that it was almost impossible for me to place tight stops and take small point moves, if the difference was so obvious that my trades could be failing before they've even begun.  \n\tI'm still querying with IG why the Retail Platform is so laggy my end.  They say I am literally the only person to mention it and to back this up, I've had no-one confirm it when i put the question to the forum.  So up to now it IS only me.  \n\tToday on the demo:  \n\tPL showing different on top right than what is showing on the chart.  Only one trade running. \n\tPlaced a trade but the Ticket detail didn't appear on the chart even after a refreshed, but did appear when I changed the Timeframe.  this has happened before on the Live chart and i missed profit because i wasn't able to quickly close the trade.  By the time i figured out i needed to open the Positions panel i had already lost it.  \n\tTrades couldn't Close when I click the Close button on the chart.  There was a spinning cog as if it was loading.  Even after refreshing it was still spinning, but in my positions it was gone.  \n\tI've had these same problems on the Live charts too, so it's not just the demo.  This is why I'm looking for another platform to try.  In the meantime I'm just looking for US breakout patterns and having a 'Punt'.  \n\tI'm starting to really think that although not admitted officially, Day Trading and Scalping is not supported and actively sabotaged.\n "
