    Finspreads and AT Pro platform ???

    Hi, Do you mean whether it is possible to login to the AT Pro platform using a Finspreads account? If so the answer is YES, and everything works 100%. There are no issues with using that platform and a Finspreads account.

    Corn/Soybeans/Wheat on CBOT & MATIF

    Major Grains Hi Ags Players, Good to see another major grains trader around - there don't appear to be that many of us on most trading forums! I only trade on CBOT, never touched Matif or any of the other European grains contracts. How are they to trade in comparison to the US? Can you find...

    Absolutely NO to the idea of a Facebook login. I don't have a Facebook account and have absolutely ZERO intention of ever getting one. Just no!

    Judging from the remarks made about Howard, I would guess he didn't move when the steamrollers got too close and was flattened!!

    I missed this Howard Cohodas kerfluffle! What was wrong with his option trading strategy?? Sounds like it was very bad?

    Opening an account with IB as a new trader.

    I have only had to use IB client support a few times but they were fine when I did. However, in my opinion IB is a brokerage for the more experienced trader - someone who already knows what they are doing. In IB's own words, a professional trader. They are probably not the ideal brokerage for...

    Opening an account with IB as a new trader.

    You can also consider opening up a demo account with whomever offers one - Spreadbetting or CFD providers would probably be easiest? Execute 100 or more trades on the demo platform. Now you are no longer lying when you state you have executed 100+ trades. I'm assuming the form never explicitly...

    Hi PC, With reference to Black Swan's post about all our questions being lightweight - I can't think of any heavy weight questions that are relevant. The best I can come up with are the following: Are there any questions you wanted us, your clients and prospective clients to have asked, and...

    About the dark screens, I think the shading from a slightly lighter shade of black (very dark grey??) at the bottom to the much darker black at the top of the screen that might be causing the problem?? After using Bloomberg screens for quite awhile, I'm quite used to black screens, so they...

    Hello PC, I was going to add this in a later post, but since it was brought up now I'll speak up a bit earlier. Could we have fractional stake sizes for equity securities, I don't need sub 1GBP. But for instance, I need to take a long position of 861 Shares and a short of 993, then I would...

    Hi PC, It was mentioned b4 in an earlier post, but I don't think you stated if it was going to change in the next release of the platform. When zooming into a chart, the time frame interval keeps changing from what we have set it to be. I would prefer the chart to just zoom in and magnify but...

    Hi PC, Your answer sounds like it also answers my second query. :) That was, to bring back one functionality that you had on MarketMaker. I can't remeber what you called it (Themes I think?), but it was esentially saved layouts accessible from a drop down menu. For example, I have say 5 stocks...

    Hi Ross, Thanks for the advice - that is what I am doing at the moment. It's just that I find it non-ideal, to have my browser start from the left and then stretch across the middle and the right ones. Much more preferable would be to keep the browser window maximised in the middle and have...
