that was my complaint in the first place! Its a crap platform and had lost me a LOT of money due to its instability. It can have the best spreads in the world but if it crashes and doesnt execute orders properly whats the point? Good luck to those who it works for, but I wil never use tham...

Karma works! :)

Agree with Verbiedave and am sure he didnt mean watch the 6pm news, but watch business channel or CNBC etc. Jobless reports, CPI etc all cause currencies moves of huge amounts and I hedge such announcements all the time. Movemnts of 50 points or more in 5 10 mins is very commonplace. I watched...

Ha ha! apa79 know what you mean. Had longs in gold and looked like trend had turned when it headed south and finished around the 1369 esistance. Sold out here for quite a loss. I think it wil lhang around the 1350 mark for a while and trade sideays shaking out a few of the bulls. may reach...

4 points after market

Ha ha! Well I was bitter about it at the time, so a few pints would have helped a lot

Thanks Ross for the tip. Will try Fins platform. The City Index guys had no choice but to refund. There was still a lot that I could not prove but I submitted alot of screen prints toshow delays, etc, and at other times they had to admit platform issues, so the refund was a cheaper way for them...

I know city index have a 1 pint spread on open hours. Thats what I wrote! But when the Dow is closed its a 4 point spread. Beause of the time difference I usuallytrade futures on the Dow. On their platform it clearly states the spreads as: 08:30:00 - 15:29:59 (GMT-6) 1 points 15:30:00 -...

Hmmm. Glad that it is working for you gle101. No idea why it has been causing a few of us problems, and of the other 3 I know of we all have been using PC rather that remote etc. Either way you should not need a standalone computer to operate their platform. It does seem stratnge that te...

I have sold out of all my positive positions with them an only hold some that are negative. I will certainly never trade with them again, and gave them 6 months. But the consistant problems an slow pips just got too much. The last straw was the platfrom crashing at the start of Euro zone markets...

Had a lot of problems with City Index platform. Crashed a LOT especially in peak times, slow to pick up orders and to sell out, cancelled orders reapeared as taken up after 2 or 3 mintus of disapearing off your active orders window! Basically lost a fair bit of money with them. Great for...

The 1 point spread is only when Wall St is open and for about half hour after it shuts. Same as most others. Once it closes for en of technical trading it reverts back to a 4 point spread. Does same with ASX. Pretty sure CMC or IG platforms have 1 point duing trading hours. Its the cosntant...

Dont sign with them. 1 point spred is when market is open but 4 points during futures tading. Platform is prone tocrashing and very ling delays in orders being placed. I have used it for months and got increasingly frustrate with the lack of support and constant freezing and delays of the...
