Hi, I am currently a UK resident but am thinking about possibly becoming Non-Resident from next Spring. (Looking to move to SE Asia) I currently hold a spread betting account here but after searching this forum it appears that I cannot use a spread betting account from outside of the UK If that...

I have spreadbetting account with IG Index and enjoy using their iPhone App when away from my PC. I have started doing swing trades on UK individual shares and ETF's but my broker does not have any iPhone App yet. I already have this function available with TD Ameritrade (US) and Fidelity (US)...

I also get a 20 PIP spread with Hargreaves Lansdown & Citibank (current customer) when sending equivalent of $50,000 or more. Probably a slightly larger spread below these amounts.

OK, nothing new then....

Back in last week of July 2008, I did a large purchase of USD at £2.01 to buy a house in the USA. After discovering their tax laws were worse than the UK I decided not to go ahead with the purchase and a few weeks ago transferred back into Sterling at £1.39 taking a nice profit. I have looked...

Ben, I had put proceeds from selling my house last December into Icesave, but pulled it out in February when first Iceland rumours started appearing. Now have spread my dosh between NR Offshore and Citibank and Wachovia CD's in the USA. (FULLY INSURED NOW) Reason why top 3 Icelandic banks went...

Think them dodgy Archer's guys planted some virus on your laptop - serves you right !

Good News Ransquawk Fans, Just had reply from IG and they are looking to resume the Ransquawk service from hopefully tomorrow afternoon !

oiltanker, Is Bloomberg Radio available via internet as I am nearly always travelling through different countries and need a commentary like this (Bloomberg TV not always available at hotels/motels) Also is their economic data provided as on Ransquawk (30 seconds after release of data) ?

I had also called Friday to Ransquawk who told me of the contribution problem and IG's response was as mentioned above to do with only a few people using the service. Please can you all email IG about this, after all they are a very successful group financially and their platform in my opinion...

Major news is listed on ADVFN, IG INDEX, and many spreadbetting/futures firms firms have an economic news calendar. Also use rolling news on CMC Markets who also display "Important Messages" on your screen while signed in. Regards Pete

I only had £80 a point because I need to have enough margin on my account to cover the possible (hope not !) loss if really bad news happened. I would bet the max if I could Donald, BTW have you you been betting this way for small points profits on the binary market for a while and if so what is...

Thanks Gents Well first of all thanks for your replies gents and I will be careful with being ready to close a deal if I take a 10 point loss from 95 to 85 OR 98 to 88. It just seems to work better than my bets on indices when I was doing £10 a point looking for 10 point gain plus the spread...

Hello everyone, First post here but have been viewing/searching. I have been paper trading spreadbets on Indices and made a 55/45 profit ratio but losses did get big on a couple of occasions. I have decided to try binary betting for real money soon and wanted to know the better firms for...
