looking for a good trading arcade in london and what are desk and platform costs?

Hi,

I have been trading for 20 years. I started off on LIFFE and traded BTP's, Gilts and Eurodollars and spent 4 years in the Eurodollar pit in CME. I went screen based in 2000 and traded from home in Hamstead, London since then.

While i am quite happy trading from home I want to have a change and get back into an enviroment where i can mix with other traders.

Before i do this I thought i would post here and see if any of you guys have an opinion as to where the best trading rooms are in London to work from and what are the costs associated for standard desk fees and platform costs (TT Pro or RTS).

Any info will be appreciated.

Hi mate,

My firm might be a good place to check out, it's in Woking but there's a fair few ex-LIFFE/pit guys to trade war stories with, as well as a lot of fresh blood who enjoy listening to a good yarn.

Futex - Futex Proprietary Investment and Trading House. Trading, Trader, Futures, online trading, currency trading, stock market trading, bond trading, Futures trading, Trading careers, trading courses, Commodity trading, Forex, day trader, equity tr - Take a look and see what you think.

What are you trading and what size at the moment?

If your in Hampstead you could try mettraders. They say they're in West Hamapstead but it's really Kilburn

Also have a gander at this Trading Arcade Index - Traderpedia. One or two of the firms on it have gone under but probably the most up to date list on the net I think.

F utex have an office near London Wall
