Dear Capital Spreads, Your new trading platform isn’t particularly good. The old platform had the odd glitch but did the job, yet the occasional issues you did have with the old one still remain on this new worse one. The platform looks and feels cheap/tacky. If your mouse moves even just...

Four separate complaints from traders on my forum today about freezing tickets and "price no longer valid" tickets or tickets timing out etc. And an additional complaint that Caps were pricing FTSE at 10 or more points away from the real Market (5675 area) and no trades could be taken.

Just logged in and saw this thread.... and as I've literally just seen an answer to a smilar question on another forum, I'll paste the bottom bit of the answer here which gives the writers conclusion: "All in all it probably is worth paying the extra spreads and trading with IG (CFD a/c)...

First day today that I logged onto Caps to day trade following the issues I detailed on 2nd August. I entered a position, and the ticket spent ages just "working" before timing out. Same thing happened a 2nd time. On the 3rd attempt, the ticket just kept "working", and as the platform is...

Hi, Haven't tried calling them no. Previously used Caps for swing trades and IG for day trades, but switched round as financing appeared to be higher overall with Caps for the swings and some of those erroneous spikes from last year played on my mind. IG are faultless when trading around data...

Entered a DOW short at 13,078 Now trading at 12,919 and suddenly "Price expired" message coming up. That's it, I can't afford to keep doing this. Caps account will now only be used for long term swing trade.

Issues again today, trying to exit a position and sticking ticket, first time "Price no longer available", second time, ticket just kept on "working", logged out and back in and the trade was still live, then finally exited the trade at a less desirable level. £155 profit turned into a £95 profit.

As it's gone relatively quiet here I wondered if Simon would mind if I directed a few questions towards him? 1) Are you aware of a few platform issues lately such as sticking prices, sticking tickets and delays in pricing coming on line on Sunday evenings over the last couple of Weeks? The...

It's in my blog roll.

Completely agree. That's always been my view too. But, if Cobra is taking £300,000 per year for 3 blog posts a day, then one can see the attraction. Plus, you don't have to be a skilled trader to be a good trading coach, and that attracts many traders into running subscription services too...

Quite a lot. And it drops significantly if you go through a period of not updating the site at least once per day, then it takes ages to build it back up. From a revenue perspective based on ad-clicks alone, at first you get a few clicks but the more you build your traffic the more work you...

The ETX connection is just an affiliation. His earnings from the ETX affiliation aren't publicly available from what I can make out. I was in discussion with an SB firm to affiliate with my own website to help cover my hosting costs and although my site is a personal diary as opposed to a...

My understanding is that he doesn't bill you (he can't if he's not regulated). Theory is you are impressed enough with his service that you voluntarily pay the £1 based on the trust method that you entered the trade. He doesn't trade £101 per point because if he's got around 70 subscribers (my...

I was just about to update on my Capital Spreads ongoing experiences following the issues I had and reported a few Months back. But to save going into an essay, your quote pretty much matches my ultimate conclusion. Once thing I will still say, I still don't like the charts, find it difficult...

I've not read the whole thread, but in response to OP's original question.... I traded with IG for a good few years but have had some issues with them over the last 6 Months or so and their recent change to their own (crap) basic charting package was the final straw. I tried working with their...
