Thanks for your swift reply!

I am currently doing some TA-research and would like to backtest Bollinger Band signals. For the upper band, I have to add 2 * standard deviation to the MA-level. However: what kind of sd do I need? Is it (1) as often suggested the sd of the difference between the MA and the closing price? or...

I noticed however that there often was a difference between the reference price used by Betfair and by IG (IG sometimes even used different prices for the 10-11 hourly market and the 10.00-10.20 twenty market)... Does IG Puredeal offer the exact same set of markets as Extrabet did in the past...

Had my ups and downs, don't do it that much anymore. Noticed that the Financial Markets are not on Extrabet.com anymore? Did they move it to another platform?

Thanks. In that case Betfair should work on their displayed price which is for informational purposes only. Seems to be incorrect in quite some instances...

Difficult to determine which prices on offer are better when the reference FTSE level is different at Betfair from Extrabet, isn´t it?

I´m betting on the 20-minute markets at Extrabet, and I´m wondering something about their reference price, see below: What do they actually use... Do they use the first new print, or do they use something ´internally specified´? Hope you can help me out, thanks.

Is it that bad? There seems to be some money on the decimal close market and the the spread on the Dow intradays seems to be okay.

I like Betfair, pretty good spreads on both dailys and intras in the last couple of months. You mention binaries Jules. They are not on BF. How do the stakes correlate? Is say 20 pound at quote 2 the same as 0.40 pp at odds binary odds of 50? Anyone any idea when they will publish their annual...

Paul, thanks for your comment. I already thought it was a tricky business... But still, my question remain: why is there a different level in the underlying? Or do they use different assets?

Hi all, I'm rather new to spread betting, and I'm checking the IG site right now. I'm a little bit confused, when looking at the change in the FTSE 100 Daily, and at the change in the FTSE to finish up. I would say both contracts have the same underlying, but at this moment the FTSE 100 daily...

Hi David, I'm not a regular trader, but I reckon that binarybet.com is a pretty decent one. Choiceodds.com is another one, but when I have to believe the stories here on the forum, then that one is rejecting a lot. Why not try Betfair? Although the quote representation isn't in the binaries...

Thanks, I had the same idea about their quotes.

What do you guys think of the quotes Binarybet is offering? Do they reflect true value? (I mean, when their price is 38 to sell and 44 to buy, do you consider 41 as being true value?)

Cool, thanks! I'll take a look.
