An interview with highbury fx

Would you please make a quick introduction about yourself ? Thanks .

I started in the interbank market whilst on a gap year in Sydney in 1987 with Prebons on the spot aussie desk. Moved back to London couple of years later with Prebon London before going to Tulletts both in London and New York, then moved to a broker in Luxembourg half owned by Tulletts and spent a few (very) happy years there doing usd/dem went to IG then another spread bet company in London and finally to where i am now, a fca and cysec regulated stp spreadbetting and cfd company. I run the company as ceo - we're busy and profitable and continuously struggling to stay compliant in this ever increasingly difficult industry. i don't bet (except poker).

Previously said no to Timsk when asked to do an interview because i don't want my identity to be known. I've seen people i know step out of the shadows on trade2win and get shouted down and i don't want that to happen to me but i'm happy to answer what i can, when i can.

thanks.

Thanks , no thats not a typical interview just a few questions about the industry , simple answers will do .

How many traders use stops ?

How many traders scale-in/average down ?

good question.

We took a look at all of the open positions we currently have and found that 74% of them have a stop loss order attached and 77% have a limit order attached.

leave this with me.. we'll figure out how to extract this info and i'll update you once we have it.

Hi highbury

Have you ever heard of anybody paying tax on spread betting winnings?

Thanks
