I doubt if IG will ever make a market on Tradefair. For a start they cant reject or delay deals like they do on their own sites.

Hit IG binaries for anything over 50 pounds a point and see how often you get rejected or have to wait upto a few minutes for them to wait for the market to move in their favour before they accept..

Well Capital Spreads are the current MM and are doing a pretty decent job so far, posting usually around £5-£10/point on both sides of the spread - hopefully this will rise over time. IG have also been offering binaries for a lot longer than CS, so I'd have thought that IG would have a pretty accurate pricing model by now.

Well there are 3 sets of prices on TF at the moment on the FTSE Hourly and Daily markets - two sets of £5/point and one £1.50/point. I will do some further investigation of this tomorrow, but I think that one of the £5/point spreads is IG, the other is Capital Spreads, and the third is another MM.

The current £5/point MM doesn't appear to be IG or CapitalSpreads, any idea of who it is? I've checked the following binary prices:

IG/binarybet
CapitalSpreads
CityIndex/Finspreads
ChoiceOdds

...and none of these seem to correlate exactly with the prices on Tradefair.

probably just a program reading the average of the spread firm prices and posting these tradefair.

just looked at the volumes on tradefair for today's up/down ftse - a massive 2 quid matched so far on an exceptionally volatile day !!

Well that should change shortly - BDI v2.2 is about to go into public beta (free 3 months usage)...
