I'm starting spread betting with a Partymarkets account, small stakes, but hey, we've all got to start somewhere!

Due to work commitments, I will be (hopefully) using a mobile phone with web browsing for placing many trades and (ahem,how can I put this), I'm a complete novice / luddite with mobiles.

Any advice on the best or most economical mobiles on the market?

Many thanks. ]]> Spread Betting pazuzu http://www.trade2win.com/boards/spread-betting/79842-spread-betting-via-mobile-phone.html advance platform http://www.trade2win.com/boards/spread-betting/79712-advance-platform.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:47:39 GMT Hi, Does anyone know if there is a platform that let you deal according to TA?

Ive sent them (ProRealTime) an email asking the below questions but never recieved a response back from them.

Im using ETX Capital as my broker, but for chart analysis I use prorealtime. So, I look at PRT charts, make my decisions, and then head over to ETX and attempt to set alerts etc for trading but..

1. I continually seem to have what I think may be a timezone difference between the two charts, which makes it difficult for me to effectively place trades. Does anyone else have this problem and is there something I can do to fix this? Please see attached for an example. I think theres a small pattern emerging in that it looks like PRTs EOD closes earlier than ETX.

2. the volume data seems to have stopped in Sept for FTSE on PRT.. Anyone else having this?


Any help would be greatly appreciated

edit: btw, the attached charts are both FTSE daily.. and I use PRT for the charting facilities. I might not have an understanding that experienced traders have so pls point me in the right direction if you can :-)

Moving to the US soon and wondering if I can still spreadbet with my UK IGINDEX account?

The March 2010 for SSE.

@ City Index: Bid = 1079.00 Ask 1089.00
@ Ig Index: Bid = 1060.00 Ask 1070.00

Why such a big difference? Don't they get their prices from the same place?

Thanks,

Has anyone tried this system.

Here is the link for the system:

Just been looking at prospreads.com, and what they offer seems very good.

I have been reading their website, and done a search on them on T2W...

However, i have a question.

On their website, they say all their charges are included in the spread - as usual. But then they offer Direct Market Access - which is supposed to get you inside the spread - thus eliminating their pay/commision/charges.

How is this possible?

I quote from the FAQs:

"Q: Does ProSpreads charge commission on electronic betting?
A. No. We derive our income from making a spread around the price of the underlying security."

Does this mean they are manipulating the price - even though they are claiming direct market access/clear market prices?

Thanks

I would then get £50.

Are they any good? Well, after TD mentioned their reduced spreads a few weeks ago I thought I'd give them a try. They do certainly have good spreads on EUR/USD, cable, and EUR/GBP. Also Bobl is only 2 (Bund is 3). Haven't checked others extensively, but that's good enough to be going on with.

The platform is a bit on the noddy side, but to be honest, that kind of suits me. It seems to do the job. It seems responsive, and I've not had any problems. I'm only trading small on it though. I don't know what it's like if and when you scale up. However, so far, I have no complaints. ]]> Spread Betting montmorencyt2w http://www.trade2win.com/boards/spread-betting/78800-tradefair-use-referral-code-get-75-open-account.html Starting afresh http://www.trade2win.com/boards/spread-betting/78728-starting-afresh.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:24:37 GMT I am completely new to spreadbetting could anyone give me advice about where is best to learn the basics.
