Default What platform do traders here use for commodity trading?

Hi all,

I've recently been looking at trading commodities across the range and ive come a bit unstuck with regards to uk brokers that offer commodity traders a bespoke service?

does anyone know of a good uk based commodity broker that allows trading of commodity as a spreadbet, etfs that show level 2 screens as well?
i'm kinda looking for good research sites online also?

can peeps help here?

You can trade actual commodity futures via a kind of speadbet wrapper with ibetfinancials and FP Markets. I'm not aware of any others who do this.

I'd imagine most of the bucket shops have their own version of various commodities, although personally I wouldn't touch them with a 10-foot pole.
