The futures appear to create more ticks because your chart for the Dax index is not calculated on every single price change. If the system were able to do this then there would be far more ticks on the Dax 30 as it would marginally change every single time one of the 30 component parts moved...

As some of you might have seen today I retired from LCG having started it from one man at a desk and built it over 10 years it is now someone else's burden I am sure that a representative will come on line here and on the other threads and web sites that i contribute to in the near future ...

as an aside to this one of the biggest of the retail FX companies announced that they were moving their dealing desks to cyprus about a year ago. A month or so ago they quietly announced that they were coming back to the UK. For all the pain of being regulated in the UK we can possibly assume...

this is not new stuff. sudden changes in dividends, rights issues, cash payments etc have been part and parcel of the financial world for centuries. this clause (or similar wording) has certainly been part of Capitalspreads terms since we launched. In reality you have not actually 'lost'...
