    The 4H systems run in the demo account.
    The 4H trades are currently opened 15 minutes later, i. e. 09.15 o’ clock instead of 09.00 o’ clock, 13.15 o’ clock instead of 13.00 o’ clock, etc.
    Does anyone know the problem and can help?

    Thank you for your information. I ask you to keep an eye on this for the next two days, as we are currently providing a new platform for our German customers, and I have received the information that certain changes will be made to our demo account server. I would like to make sure that the problem is not caused by this change.

    I ask for your understanding.

    If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Yours sincerely,

    @Ulrike

    I have tested my trading system on another computer with a different demo account. The problem is there too. The orders will be executed 15 minutes later, exactly as of 08.02.2018, see screenshot enclosed.
    Until 08.02.18 09.00 o’ clock the orders were executed correctly and from 08.02.18 13.00 o’ clock the orders are executed 15 minutes delayed. You can see this very clearly in the screen shorts, especially in Screenshort1, and you can see from the screenshots that it is not a single trading system, but a fundamental problem of the platform.

    What you wrote above what I should do, I did. Already on 11.02.18. Still no reaction from there. Now I have done it again today, I am curious if PRT will react at all. They don’t seem to care about demo accounts, even if they have a real money account.

    salutations

    Hi John

    Just an idea …

    Do you get the same / similar 15 minute delay on a different instrument (other than DAX30)?

    Apologies if you have already stated you tried different markets etc?

    Cheers

    I think Open and Close must be 17:00:00 (and same seconds)

    The demo accounts are so full of errors that it is pointless to use them. Use your live account instead.

    as i have said before

    IG should lower the minimum trade size (same as in metatrader) then we could try out new system on a live account as soon as possible

    especially  when the new ESMA margin rules is on its way

    The thing is that almost everybody tries a new system on demo first and if it fails on demo then no need to risk any money try it live

    but then again if you cant trust the demo..?

    My personal experience is that the demo account has A LOT more problems then the live account. So many that I grew tired of using it about 2-3month ago.

    Last week was the first time I started it the first time after a longer pause again because I had a strategy that I want to run on demo before I run it live. It ran a few days but then was stopped with some error. This happens on demo all the time 🙁

    This is very frustrating and makes the demo account at least for automatic trading of little use.

    Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before (doh!) attached are two 1 Hour Algos running spreadbets on my Demo Account.

    I’ll set my CFDs on demo eunning tomorrow and report back.  They have not been running for several months so entry / exit times would not be relevant if the delay is a recent issue.

    As you can see they enter and exit on the hour.

    If I can check anything else to help you John then just say?

    Do you want the code for below to try on your Demo?

    I have included my Timezone settings also

    Cheers

    Attached one of CFD Demo which opened correctly on the Hour at 04:00 today.

    Would you lie me to run your code on my Platform John?

    Cheers
