Hello chaps,UK newbie looking for some answers /Help?

Firstly are demo accounts delayed to real time ,I notice that ig is 3 minutes behind the clock on my laptop phone etc,I also noticed that charts between trading 212 and ig are way out on time prices etc .
i am new after spending 4 months researching many youtube guides , and playing on demos etc.
P.s ihave had some good proffits in demos etc ,But i do not trust demo wins as shortly after i get messages to open up live accounts lol …

secondly ,I dont like meta trader at all ,trading 212 is poor imo ,It is a Very basic platform… I like tradingviewUK ,But what brokers use it in the UK?
Any help with a good fca platform broker would be much appreciated .
i will not be going live UNTIL i find a well respected firm i can feel confident in .
Are there any UK forums i notice this must be a US site .

Thanks for the use of the free training on here .

cheers

Hey Lingus,

From the UK here, too.

I’m not sue about IG, which are a spread betting provider if i remember correctly - but all MT4/MT5 and cTrader platforms that I have used in margined FX accounts within Demo do indeed mirror live data feed.

Take a look at FXpro, link below. Perhaps one of the UKs most trusted retail brokers and fully regulated globally. I only suggest this as i’ve used them for quite some time and have no problems with price feeds, deposits or withdrawals; which is quite a different story according to many oversea foreign retail brokers.

All the best.

Good to see a fellow Brit on here.

If you want to learn more via videos, this is by far the best channel on YouTube.

As for brokers, I was with FxPro for many years until they capped leverage at 1:30 - which might be fine for you, in that case, they are a good broker with good support and helpful account managers.

I’ve been with IC Markets for nearly a year now.

This is my live account.

This site is US based, but there are lots of Brits on here (me, for instance!). I haven’t found a half-decent UK trading forum, hence have been on here for some years. Trading is a global thing, makes no difference to the chart where you’re sitting when you trade it. So I’d recommend sticking with BP.

I took a look ,You are trying to sell a tool /system.
Honestly and no disrespect ,It looks like the time shares dried up kind of videos hahaha

  1. No, demo account should not be delayed to real time.
  2. What do you mean by out on time prices?

He must mean baby pips .

behind other platforms .

I see. If your candles are different may be because of the time zones different platforms are tied to. Not all platforms are bound to the GMT.

no - if you find one that is, avoid that broker

yes - bad platform and terrible broker - avoid

well judged, here - MT is horrible

yes - Oanda(UK) offers it as what they call their “advanced charting” - they don’t actually call it TradingView, but that’s exactly what it is, simply a white-label version of the TradingView platform, and they’re also a good, honest broker

excellent and recommended

problem solved (at least, for me, it would be)

yes, there’s one called trade2win - it includes forex and many other kinds of trading, also

I myself use Oanda and other than a little qualms I have with them as far as

**Price signals are only achievable from your phone & not your actual platform at this current moment.
**Mobile/Desktop prices lag 0.6-0.8 with the mobile being slower especially during peak times.
**Customer support via email usually isn’t the fastest.

I tried oanda ,I can only test demo on fx .If i try to use a demo on anything else it asked me to re register .I cannot find any tutorials yet .Its a weird site to me .
Cheers everyone
