Blimey, your quick, taken four years to post!

If they have charged you .0001 that is $10 not $100?

SimonK Sound like you prefer Ninja, so why not use Ninja. it is horses for courses, I have used different systems over the years and have been using PS for a few and had a few issues that i resolved by talking to the guys. One of the issues was the ladder and there is a sort of hold function...

I am told you can now open with £500, but can only trade mini lots. I agree with all your comments as I have used them for a few years now.

Live market prices, no re-quotes and lightning speed. I have been using it for a few years with no issues. takes time to get used to it, but worth the effort.

Correct, much better than the 4-6 point spreads that some of the other SB sharks quote. Obviously you have to trade the full contract size though.

I trade CL and they add .0075 ($7.5) to the market spread, reducing to .0045 after 200 lots per month.

They probably have a clause in their T&C's that allow them to close out your position in certain events?

Horses for courses I guess. i've been using the platform for a few years and takes some getting used to but it has so much functionality. The trade fills are instant and no requotes or trader intervention. Also agree that they have a great support team also.

6am. Many thanks didn't find that bit. So if you loose £1,000 you have to donate an extra £18. Only small fry, but still rubbing salt into the wounds!

FP I have just been looking through your website and most of it is clear now that I have worked out the commissions structure. But what is the betting tax of 1.80%? This is something that I have not come across before.

Agreed, which is way they probably say "functionality". But I don't get any funny business. I can join the bid/offer or trade at market. A spreadbetting company acts as principle so I can't see how letting a client have pure access to the market can be classed as a spreadbet?

I disagree that they are not offering market prices as I ran their prices side by side with my DMA platform as other have also confirmed and the prices were identical. Whether they go via their servers or direct is not a concern to me as long as I get the right price. They maybe more expensive...

From what I understand is to qualify as a "Bet" the bet must have an end date. So I guess this counts as "carrying on of the trade"?

At the end of the day it is like booking a flight with Ryanair or BA. With Ryanair they make their money from a load extra's which annoy many people, just like slippage and requotes. If you use BA then you will normally pay more for your flights but at an all included price. It is a personal...
