Thanks, I knew about TDW and City, but didn't realise Finspreads was yet another rebranding! :rolleyes: On the subject of CS not paying interest on balances - I agree you are not a bank. Anyone concerned about this should do what I do - I've started to transfer out my whole balance after a...

That's the best thing about it. Because of this display method, the CS platform works without any security or firewall issues from my work PC. I have tried Cityindex, TDWaterhouse and Finspreads from here too, and none of them work - they all display but fail to connect to their data sources...

Capitalspreads platform - 2 requests... Hi Simon, I've not asked you a question for a while, so I'm glad to see you're still making time for t2w. I have 2 requests for your consideration. First, like most of your customers I imagine, I use your service from work, and sometimes from home when...

You know how you look back sometimes, before big market turning points, and say, with hindsight such and such was perhaps an indicator of sentiment change? I think we just had our such and such ; "The result fuel concerns that Google's shares are overvalued and the stock tumbled in after hours...

Bears point to the lessons of history "Bears point to the lessons of history Research by Abhijit Chakrabortti of JPMorgan on stock market corrections (where the S&P 500 falls by at least 10 per cent) provides more gloomy reading. He believes a “momentous” market correction is on its way, and...

Hi again, Thanks for the feedback. I think you misunderstand me though. I don't mean trade from the Friday close to literally the next weeks open ( ie market open, and the gap up problem you mention above ). I mean that the data shows a low below the Friday close is possible most of the time...

Hi Again, OK, I have used your suggested datafeed to do some longer period analysis, and I am very pleased to report that this more accurate data, over a whole year, does indeed support my suggested method. Below are the results from eoddata.com ( apologies for a long list ). >>> What is...

Yikes, hasn't anybody at Yahoo noticed? :-) Thanks for the tipoff. I will do some more analysis with their data and post again... P.S. Talking of weekend news affecting open, noticed this on marketwatch.com this morning ; "SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- During the first 12 months of Alan...

Prospects for Monday? Check out this simple recent analysis based on yahoo.com/finance historical data for the DOW. I have noticed a tendency for the Low on the first day of a new week to be well below the prior weeks close. OK, it's just the last 13 weeks, but it's worth further investigation...

Rising Support from 2003 Hello all, my first post here. Got 60 pips of the Friday fall. And I'm going to watch Monday closely for a bounce. Does anyone agree that the weekly chart rising support from late 2003 touching 9200, late 2004 touching 9600, and late 2005 touching just above 10000...

I am not surprised Simon hasn't posted here for a while - what with all the criticism and everything. He's probably decided it's bad PR to perpetuate his presence here and keep responding to the same complaints over and over. I can understand that. Though, if I were him, it would be too...

Simon, Wise words. You seem to take a lot of flak on here, and I just wanted you to know that your comments and the time you spend talking to your users is appreciated. I for one, managed to effortlessly execute a few EUR/USD trades on CS during the recent 'Trichet volatility'. And yes, like all...

Thanks Simon, I'm happy to use 'real FX' products rather than spreadbets, the device is immeterial to me, as long as I can trade my strategies. However, I suspect that by 'intermediate', you mean it's not for private investors like myself - presumably because my transaction sizes would be too...

Simon / Steve, Wow, I just clicked on the www.capitalforex.com link, looks interesting - I didn't even know it existed. So tell me, as an existing CS customer, who spreadbets on FX quite a lot, why would I use the new site rather than the existing capitalspreads.com platform? Obviously the new...

I've been using FinSpreads for Binaries for a week or two, and have been fortunate to win all 6 of my first trades. No issue with them, as I'm sure once enough people are making the market for them, they will either break/even or most likely gain via their point spread. Regarding the platform...
