Limitations
-
The IG broker does not share in its API the closing data of a trade. This will impact the following features:
-
The "Closing Date/Time" column will have the same data as the "Opening Date/Time" column
-
The column "Duration" will be considered as "00h 00m".
-
The functionality "Duration" in the tab "Performance" will not be able to display the trades data
