I am a newbie and have used both CMC and Capital Spreads and have stuck with the latter for the meanwhile. While they provide realtime data (on their prices) they don't provide price data for the real market nor volume indicators.

Hey guys! Thanks for the advice - I don't use any indicators though! I just put them in there in case anyone might spot something I'm not seeing (I don't see anything apart from what has already happened to the price which seems a bit useless) @jonnyace "Even better, don't scalp until you can...

Hi spakus - I'm in pretty much the same situation and even looking at the same underlying. Are you Spread Betting? Also, what size account are you using?

@new trader - I'm not just guessing, I'm following the guidelines I outlined. Although the results seem pretty random (like guessing) @timsk thanks for all the insight - very helpfull! Maybe I should move to the indices I will think about that. As a newbie I really don't have much of a...

Here is another - Hammerson FTSE 100 stock zoom out: zoom in same as before - buying the breakdown at 514 with stop loss at 522, but again the reversal... what indicator could I add to give me an edge on the same setup? I have looked at stochastics, MACD, etc but they all seem to give...

OK - here are is a trade: ICAP Rolling Daily (UK FTSE 100 share) first, looking back a few days 10 minute chart intraday 10 minute chart My logic was to buy short the breakdown of the support at 280 so I automated the entry at 272.0 with the stop loss at 279.0. I was expecting it to fall to...

yes, I'm a cheapskate! It seems like the chicken-egg situation. Will only buy realtime data if I get some profit, but that may also be what is stopping me from getting the profit!!!

@RedGreenBen good advice! I just need to fight the urge to trade for a bit! Incredible how adictive it can get. But in my rational side of the brain your advice seems like the right choice! @new_trader not sure what you mean, but It's true that we see and hear of lots of fabulous get rich quick...

Hey rols... maybe! I am considering sitting it out at least a few days to rethink my strategy... do you think it's possible to scalp with SB? I hear the companies tend to go against you if you scalp (increasing spreads)? Anyway, was looking at the...

thanks for the heads up timsk! I am indeed day trading FTSE 100 stocks with Spread Betting! Not having much look - maybe I need a bigger row? ;-) My problem is I am new to trading (3 months) and I want to learn before committing a lot of cash, so I started with £1000 SB account which seemed to...

what do you mean? Should I be going long in a bear market?

and all of them were shorts

And 2 x 5 trade losing streaks! :thumbsdow SB using money management to 2%, but damn it hurts! One minute your up, the next down... Good thing I limited my risk though.. all this in the last 2 days SB UK stocks in the FTSE100. Got caught out in some real crazy reversals - ouch! boohooo.. sob...

has anyone else noticed the S&P 500 OBV slow increase in the last months? could this be a sign of accumulation and expectation that the stocks will rise in medium term?

they look like they want to force feed the U$700 bi bailout ... the FED just reduced liquidity in the market by 125billion... they want a bank or 2 to go bust before the weekend to get a hasty approval... have a look here (one opinion): FLASH: Fed Speaking Out Both Sides Of Mouth - The Market...
