The trouble is that 99% of people are not similarly obsessed and cannot understand your devotion. It seems such a waste of time to outsiders. Should not give up the game but i'm more convinced than ever that it will forever remain a form a escapism for me, no different to a few drinks down the...

I have complained about PPT on here before. A few months ago they ran a EUR/USD stop on my account 60 pips out of whack from any other quoted market I could find. I've had my fair share of wins and losses and this was not just sour grapes. This bunch are crooks. Closed my account and not been...

In the past i've paid in excess of 200 quid for this little adjustment but somehow I've always found it justified. Is it not true that the index after all is going to open slightly lower due to ex-dividends and therefore the short your holding is benefiting from that adjustment by the amount...

I've had 2 accounts closed (myself and partner) but that was for accounts with 90% sports trades. Not heard of any for financial alone................

I think this is a good question which has brought about the usual 'bucket shop', full of tricks cry about Spread Betting companies. Yes there are some examples of irregularities, but if you have a winning trade, you win, full stop. It is just those losing (the majority) that cry foul. With the...

At the awfulness of this set-up: gnuTrade | Online Trading - Home Has anyone encountered this bunch before. The spreads are like are as wide as the gulf of mexico and the platform should be called Disney does dealing . Can anyone see anything worthwhile? What a joke!

Hi, Does anyone know if there is any difference in the rollover fees between spread betting companies? Although not crippling they certainly eat massively into the balance after a while. It would be prudent to find the cheapest/ best deal but this is rarely highlighted in marketing materials. I...

There was long explanation yesterday and a final farewell on this thread, however it has now disappeared. In short he gave assurance that certain individuals where tracking trades on T2w and it was possible this was working against him. He appeared to have substancial evidence. A very...

No, run stops and best to look elsewhere.

Hi, I used Paddypower for 6 months until I was stopped out on a EUR/USD trade whereby they moved their price 20 pips to close me out for a loss. I searched high and low for evidence that this price action was 'real' but no other charting facility showed such a spike in price. Moved on, plenty...

Im a bit disappointed with VDM. They sent an e-mail yesterday promising spread free trades all day today on platform trades from 8.45 am. This was to make up for their down time on Tuesday. As yet, I cannot see evidence of these offers. HAs anyone else received this e-mail and/or am I missing...

Just for one day i'm afraid, but if you have an account i'd use there platform tomorrow, must be some decent opps.

I noticed thay have a SPREAD FREE trading day tomorrow on all online trades. Sounds a pretty cool deal for their screw up yesterday. Even I might come out ahead tomorrow.

If you dug deep deep down into the legality of spread betting in Hong Kong then It is possible it is deemed illegal as the HKJC has legal monopoly control over all gambling entities. However, there is no control over web sites (as there is in Thailand) and there is as good as 0% chance that...

In short, complete waste of time. Aimed for newbie mug punters and odds stacked against you. Never been there myself but please look elsewhere!
