Hi JT, Not sure about the reliability of wireless, because I never got it to work! I had a professional in to install wireless. On his third attempt be brought a router with a 1/2 mile range, but it couldn't pick up the signal in our second office. (about 30 metres away!!) I ended up having to...

Hi Bighod, I run a spread betting platform and a normal broker platform along side each oter 24/7. The prices are always within a pip (2 at the most ) of each other, and there are no other strange spikes or problems with spread betting. (I have been doing it for 4+ years) I have not...

Hi Chestney, ( long time no speak) China are indeed stuck between a rock and a hard place! (nice problem to have though) They do want to reduce their Dollar reserves and probably buy more Euros / GBP. But they also playing a poltical game; Remininding the US, who want them to devalue their...

China announced they were going to diversify from the Dollar. (And boy do they have a lot of Dollars!)

You should also look at CMC markets. Their spreads are as low and their platform is very good. However; $ 300 is only just over £200 and you will need £ 150 margin to place a £ 1 per point trade, so you have very little margin for error. I would try and get some more capital together before...

I noticed in a previous post that these guys are linking with fx-auto. people might be interested that fx-auto now also link to www.collective2.com Collective2 track signal providers in real time (not just forex), so there can be no massaging results. C2 logs all trade entries and exits, so the...

There's a lot of 'talk' on both sides. why not put a stop to the slanging matches and place some actual trade calls? 7th: You seem to be predicting a fall in EUR/USD, but can you state whether you have actual trades in place based on your dshboard. Forex is a very simple business to judge...

I've said it before, but I am astonished that people persevere with Capital Spreads. I made 6 trades yesterday afternoon after NFP (and plenty of money) with D4F. The first one which was to close a trade on the initial spike at 1.30pm was requoted, but very quickly (about 15 seconds).; this...

I'm suddenly banned as well and no reply to email asking why. I haven't posted for sometime, so it looks like there is a glitch for some of us.

I'm about to buy a second computer: I want at least 1028 Mb RAM and 19" screen; otherwise normal kind of spec. Anyone got any bright ideas where to ge the best deal in the UK? (No techy answers please; I'm a trader not a geek!)

I wouldn't call that 'good'. Surely good is trading with a system that doesn't break!

I have followed this whole post with astonished interest. I can't comprehend why so many people seem to persevere with Capital spreads. Isn't trading difficult enough without compounding it by using what appears to be a totally ***p broker that can't even execute a trade in a timely fashion. I...

Hi Kennard, I think you'll find tht you get the sun - we get the tax breaks! The UK tax free status of spread betting is a unique (anomaly) of our tax system. A few years ago, the whole betting industry started moving offshore and the revenue had to try and stop it. They therefore decided to...

George Bush lost his first election and you let him get away with that as well.....
