Thanks. I’ve spent abit of time rewritting one system to get over the blip between trading hours, but not too happy about it. It is possible to correct and probably depends on what indicators are used.
In the meantime IG sent me this link. So far signing up hasnt got me anywhere because IG recognise I already had an account with them. I will persist and update with news 🙂

I had the same problem creating a PRT sponsored account a couple of months ago when I already had an account with IG, you can either try and get round it by using a different email (I tried setting up an AOL account just to do it), IG also suggested using the same email but using googlemail instead of gmail if you are gmail user. Initially I was told by someone in support that it wasn’t even possible until I told them I had already done it 3 years ago. You have to persist in the end they put me through to a woman in accounts who was very helpful and I was able to get it all setup. Good luck I imagine they have a lot of other support stuff to deal with right now.

Hi,
I got there in the end. Eventually I was sent a short disclaimer which I had to put my account number (its all letters) from my IG in. I returned this and had to credit the account with some money. This was for the £30 charge per month if account is not live trading. Apparently some of the spread gets shared with Prorealtime the company so the disclaimer was for that. Otherwise nothing is different that I can see.
My Prorealtime now has a lot more historic data for their CFDs/spread bets, which is really useful for testing, obviously. Apart from that there is no other information or labelling that tells you you now have the sponsored account. There still isnt as much as you really need to test with, in my opinion, but it is more reassuring.
When paying for Prorealtime directly you get 1M Units (1 million units!) and you can even test time ranges in the past to go back even further. This works out at many years, (10+) and even with the smaller time frames. The toss up is that Prorealtime charge over £100 per month and they use market data only from market open times, not 24hr CFD/spread bets like IG. I found those harder to make a system for, because of the jumps at open/close.

Very informative overall view Ste, many thanks … I have Favourited this Topic in case I am ever tempted to take out a Premium Account!
So how many Markets / Instruments does £100 per month get you??

The link above inst working now, but there definitely was a specific link, IG sent me it! might need to root around in their main site-

You have to build up the package for what you need. Most of tickets have different names (if you are only used to IG), Oil is under Nymex for example-
good tip- they currently bill to the end of the month, so if you join mid month you only end up paying for the remainder e.g. 2 weeks. Just need to remember to cancel before the 31st or thereabouts.

I think monobrow was asking do you get 24hrs worth of data with PRT premium.
I haven’t checked in months, but I believe the answer is no.
IG allow 24hr trading, and have historical data for this. PRT have their own historical data but its not from 24hr , as they only allow trading when the markets are actually open. Eg 9-5
IGs spread bet / CFD products are their own, and 24hr trading/data is something they specifically offer customers. The data will be similar, because IGs are still based on e.g. the actual DAX, but not the same.
