dave crom what a load of ********.. the time delay was nothing other than a new development that caused a locking on deal acceptance. All the deals were still accepted etc .. it just took longer for the computers to process and the confirms to come through. This has been remedied and no client...

Yes Zarif! Yes! Yes! Yes! This is the reason I, and a number of he regulars on here (but not all) have left Capital Spreads. I am guessing you have started to become, or have been, more profitable of late. Or maybe your trade size had crept up to a decent amount. That is when CS turn the...

-------------------- Just check out the capital spreads forum on these boards. we've been discussing it for quite a while now. the upshot is, get the hell out of there. cheers

Hi Gle... We shall see. I won't be back to CS, and my journey to other brokers is not a new one for me - i've been trading for years, been through a lot of brokers. I take trades tha last for months, weeks, days, hours and minutes - so I do look at the total experience I assure you. Most...

Well, not so much opening another one - I have always had 2 accounts. But now I no longer need to keep the CS account open, as the last of the people I have been working with are finally convinced that Spread Betting is not the Holy Grail of Tax Free income they had initally thought it would...

Well all.... Firstly a thank you for your help and support in this Capital Spreads thread. I am about to say goodbye. Many of you have said to me "Just leave the robbers at CS alone". I always said, "I have reasons why I need to stay with them". Thankfully, Lord be praised, the last of...

when a short (start buying yen on this) it pumps out the Jap anthem, only I havent manage to find that yet so I compromise with "The Ace of Spades" by Motorhead instead, for now..... :thumbsup: ------------------- Seems appropriate to me: "If you like to gamble, I'll you I'm your man, Win...

I think despite all the to'ing and fro'ing - and unintentional muddying of the water... that personally I am still not clear as to what constitutes a palpable error, and therefore what and when does a trade constitute the existence of a legally enforceable contract. Especially given this...

rather than repeat on the CS thread the same points over and over again ------------------------------------------------------- Simon, In which case, would you please answer the questions that all this discussion seems to be boiling down to. Namely, 1. At what point in time is a contract...

" If you read the various T&C’s you will see that there is nothing written which indicates anything other than the fact that a contract is formed at the point which they accept your offer to bet. Therefore, in the case of a pricing error, the firms cannot use the only seemingly recognised...

"Talk of 'somebody' taking an SB to court to win a case on a Price error is just ridiculous. You might as well walk into a Farrari forecourt, take the last zero off the price of the car on display, and then try to get them to sell it to you at the displayed price whilst at the same time...

I seem to remember an online store a few years ago offered a white good at something like £2.49 instead of £249.00. Thousands of people bought the product but the store just rejected all the deals even though the clients had already paid...

Hi Steve, I'm not mis-interpreting anything, i'm working off what I have been told by what is now 2 different people at the FSA. Namely, that CS are allowed to claim this damn thing called "palpable error", that the emails they send to confirm mean nothing (as part of the same error), and that...

The whole mess of Dave's trade is a warning to all about what traders are up against and it sheds further bad light on CS who could have shown a more conciliatory attitude without any large outlay. The fact they didn't speaks volumes and I for one am now reconsidering my position with them...

The only way that a particular firm or person could escape the contractual obligation is by showing that A ) The contract never existed, or B ) That one party tricked (or used foul means) into accepting the offer of contract. So far as you have mentioned neither of these things occurred...
