Yes Bitcoin will struggle to gain wider adoption because of its volatility, but also that it's not profitable. (It requires 12%+ inflation to maintain its increasingly centralised security model.) Bitcoin is only increasing in popularity in countries like Argentina and Venezuela where Bitcoin...

Decentralised exchanges like BitSharesX (BTSX) have already started trading in BitUSD which is a decentralised derivative that maintains the value of USD but in the next two months we will also see BitGold, BitSilver and even BitOil. The advantages of BitAssets are that they are decentralised...

Hi Ash, Thanks for the reply. What on Capital Spreads is there a 0.7 spread? The minimum I can find is a spread of 2, so you would start off with -£2.

Thanks for the reply Dionysus. Using the smallest $ tick and trading a 50 tick move what would you estimate (general ballpark figure) that your costs are as a % of the trade. (mine are currently 8%)

Thanks for the great advice pboyles! What trading site do you use? Unfortunately for me the all the E mini futures & the bund have a 4 tick spread on the site I use - Capital Spreads, but I still trade the 'New Nasdaq' as it seems to make big enough moves relative to spread. The Eurostoxx does...

Thanks for the reply brettus! I made /make a living multi-tabling cash games.

Hi there, I'm new to the forums and to spread trading, as the title suggests I've made a living playing online poker for the last 4 years and now I've just started trading but the spreads seem prohibitively high, apologies if this is a newbie question or my way of explaining it is bad...
