Hi guys need some help. I use IT Finances version of ProRealTime supplied free via IG Index but I don't like java to begin with and I'm having some chart problems that seem to be difficult for IG to sort. But to be honest I'm not too bothered as I want to move away from Java charts though stay...

In my Futures day trading I go both ways (I slightly favour shorting as prices seem to move faster when falling) but on this strategy since I'm buying shares at <0.10p I'm only going long. The Libor+2% from CS is better than my Libor+2.5 from IG. So thanks for that.

Thanks Tar this was very help.....as you always are:D Spreadco charges if they are comparing apples with apples look good.

Thanks Tar I'll check them both out....I posted another question earlier today about finding a website with all the rollover charges per day i.e. Libor + ??% / 365 days do have any info? Thanks again

AssetCO At these prices most will be companies that either are very young or more likely have run into some serious trouble so its not a strategy to use on your pension fund:-) There usually is a good reason why a company has lost 100% + off its share price and its not good news!! So I...

Hi all, I sometimes set a few limit orders on UK shares with a share price of less than 0.10p like Yell and Bank of Ireland for example, shares that could go bust or languish at these prices for a long time so I set a buy limit very low with NO stop loss (this is the only time I ever do this...

Hi, I spread bet with IG Index on UK stocks using daily charts and sometimes weekly to supplement my Futures day trading. So I could be in a trade for months. Does anyone know of a handy place to see what most of the better known SB firms charge for the daily rollover charges LIBOR + ??? (I...

Hi all, I need some advice. I am a reformed spread better...LOL But that means the Dealthru charts (ProRealTime clone) that I was using via IG Index is now history. It had its bugs but overall it was a great way to trade and very visual. Being able to trade directly from the chart I found...

Hi, I use at present MT4 via MB Trading for forex but they also have a MBT pro navigator platform. Has anyone here used it and any opinions. I like the way you can trade directly off the charts...........something like Ninjitrader in this respect. Thanks in advance for any help or...

Thanks guys for the help. I'll try the FTSE for a few weeks and monitor the Dax along side to compare.....

Hi all, I need some advice form you Indices experts:) I day trade full-time with FX on 5 min charts but the method I use works well on Indices and oil Over the past month I have monitored the Dow/FTSE100 and the DAX and realized that the 3 (especially the FTSE and DAX) move in a fairly close...

Amen and Amen!!!! Yes Jack we need Worldspreads (and perhaps others) 1 pip on the Dow as well:)

Thanks Jason and all makes perfect sense all I need now is to get you to match IG spreads......but that's for another day:D

Ok Jason thanks for the info. One last question though, I trade using 2% of my capital per trade and with IG this allows me to be very exact like for example if my 2% risk equates to say £500 and my stop loss is 30 pips I can have a position size of £16.66. Is there away I can get close to...

Jason, regarding your answer above on a different thread, is this UK based Micro account still classed as a spread betting account ( i.e no tax)or a normal account that will attract tax on any profits? The reason I ask is I have a FXCM Micro account with a few $100's sitting in it for a good few...
