Hi Peter, I switched on my TV this morning and saw you in your front row seat at the Royal wedding. You are so lucky! I hope you had a great time. Andy.

Hi Peter, It did take a long time to get my live next gen account opened, and I had to supply a load of documents for compliance, but I'm now up and running and have placed a few trades. So far I like the performance of the platform, it's everything that you promised in terms of execution...

Hi Peter, First bit of feedback on the live next gen platform... is that I'm still awaiting my application to be approved. I applied on the 4th March 2011, and the latest email I got was yesterday: Dear Mr Hawes, Thank you very much for your email. Your Application requires a Compliance...

Hi Tar, Oh yes, I'm well aware of that. Peter was kind enough to meet me at his offices last week and we discussed this at length. I do honestly believe they are doing their best to be transparent about their pricing, and are using price feeds from several banks. The fact that Oanda & MB...

Well I've taken the plunge and submitted my details for the live CMC (next gen) account. I've been watching the demo prices like a hawk for weeks and placed several Forex & Index trades, even during volatile times, and I have to admit so far I'm pretty impressed. Assuming the live account...

Hi Peter, Sorry, I gave up chocolate about 20 years ago - have to watch my figure you know! And yes folks, I can confirm that Peter himself is keying each and every one of the replies to these posts - and he is the fastest friggin typist I've ever seen in my life! Also thanks again for the...

Hi Peter, I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking the time to meet me in person at your offices today, and to honestly answer each and every one of my questions. It's great that you are looking to create a spread betting platform that is future proof, and even better that you are...

Every single day I tried to trade on either: 1. my gut/instinct 2. using purely technical analysis Without fail, every single trade would be a loser. But that's the cost of my education I guess.

Depends on what country you are in, and what markets you plan to trade. If in the UK, I'd recommend a spreadbetting company, IG index or TradeFair are very intuative. Tradefair has a demo account you can practice on, and I believe IG markets (CFD) platform have a demo also. If outside of the...

I would be interested to know if anyone really uses this too, as I have no experience with it myself. Andy.

I've been trading on the SmartLiveMarkets MT4 platform for a couple of months and switched to a live account 2 weeks ago. Of the trades I've had so far on it, most of which were over high impact news events (NFP included) I've only had 1 requote, the rest were filled at the price on the ticket...

Dear Peter, I currently do have a demo account on the new platform, though I hadn't seen the spreads charts on it before, that's an interesting concept though and I like the idea, I shall have a look at them today. And no, I'm not aware of anyone else offering this facility at present. You say...

Hi Peter, I have only just found this thread and think it's great that you are putting yourself out there to answer traders questions in person, uncommonly brave in fact. I am personally interested to know more about CMC's new trading platform if that would be acceptable, as I used the...

Pazienza, I just came across this post and it's excellent. It reminds me of "The Big Figure Trade" in the excellent book "Beat The Forex Dealer", which I have tried & won with a number of times. I must write an MT4 indicator to SMS me when these are coming up and I can then trade them all...
