Hi Vishal All Spreadbetters manipulate, some far more than others and I've personally experienced / recorded it a number of times. I'll leave a personal message for you

Hi Apologies if this is not the correct thread for my question but can some one please enlighten me where to find real time volume chart/information on US indices ? Many thanks

Tar I need to get to the bottom of this. Why is it that I just don't get it? Let me say I make a profit of £200 on 1 contract of FTSE. At a spread of 1 point the cost of transaction is £10 at the moment and will fall to £5 when I hit 200 trades. Unless one is a skimmer/scalper taking...

Yes you hit the nail on the head. Tax-free earnings vs taxable earning. Its a no brainer to me.

I'm sorry Tar - you are wrong there. They have NO commissions - My current FTSE trades are at 1 point spread and that will go down to 0.5 after 200 trades. Nothing ELSE... ZILCH. I'm already up 10% after 2 weeks of trading. I'll be up another 1-2% tomorrow I can bet :-) Have you traded with...

Thanks GLE. I'm happy for non-SB futures platform that is DMA - any suggestions.

Does anyone know of DMA platform similar to Prospreads? I'm interested in 2nd broker for hedging thanks

Its overnight daytime margins are 1/4 th of the above I'm an active trader with Prospreads for last 4 weeks - blisteringly fast platform and good tight spreads.

Prospreads Indices I've just done my first trade on Prospreads. boy the platform is blisteringly fast and spreads are pretty good. My problem is their overnight margins are pretty steep - £3500 for 1 lot of FTSE (£10). I can do 4 times more trades with IG. Has anybody managed to negotiate...

Isn't it possible to convert your taxable profits at a futures broker by taking an exactly opposite position at a SB? Exit both when the futures move against your position at the broker and profits get transferred to the SB ? Of course you have to bear the cost of spreads on both sides but that...

|I've just opened an account with them. Have you tried them?

One question - unrelated to the previous discussion Is there a DMA broker providing non-currency spreadbets apart from Prospreads? Cheers

My apologies I have never mentioned Capitalspreads (or even CS) being the culprit. However, looking back and reading my posts again - and reading contextually to the thread, I agree I would have easily misled members to believe that CS was responsible. I stand by the core of the debate but...

Pipstar, It was requote if the market moved against the SB. No requote if the market moved against me But that is not all - even accepting the requoted price put me back into the same cycle where they would come up with another requote (on the requoted price) if the market moves against the...
