30 s&ps for £10,000 is plenty. It would definitely work out cheaper with a FCM. I am considering changing but am concerned about how safe they are. I don't want to put my money down for the FCM to go bankrupt shortly after and I lose all my money. When was the last time a FCM went under? I've...

With a FCM I deposit my money, e.g. £10,000, so I can trade how many s&ps? What happens if the FCM goes down? Would I lose all my money? My deposit and trading profits in the account at that time? In this situation would I not be better trading from home with my existing UK based long time...

Hi I'm looking into trading via a FCM from home. Are there any good software platforms which are totally free? I like the look of TT and heard it's the most commonly used platform for day trading. It's free on Velocity Futures I think. But I also want a charting/data software. Thanks

thats actually very competitive to arcades. agreed about arcades having a hard time ahead then. can see a lot of traders at arcades leaving to hire their own offices to save on desk fees and other nonsense.

You're in first year of uni. Get out and chase skirt instead of looking to sit more exams. If you want to differentiate yourself why not try something outside of trading. Climb a mountain, start a band, climb a different mountain, start a uni based business, climb mount everest. I'm not...

lol on economising on bog roll. so let me get this right. to trade 20 bunds at home requires only $10,000? sounds low. you mention that roundtrips are 1.50euro per contract. thats around £1.25. most arcades charge at least 10p cheaper than this, and this drops quite a bit once you start doing...

Is FCM trading only done whilst at home? If FCM is only privately done then people can group together and hire their own offices like some have done on these forums. I guess some people rather enjoy the idiot farting next to them. How much does this FCM charge for bund round trips? Maybe...

Does Optiver have an office in London? I can't seem to find it

what's the "next level"?

because i'm fat and ugly and need the money to buy female slaves

Season 1 on amazon marketplace seller for £9.70 plus £1.30 p&p. decent enough feedback too. I'm not the seller by the way

Not sure which country you're in now, but I'd have a look around for a place where you can get a backed deal. It might mean less income for a while but also keeping your 5000 for the meantime whilst you learn to trade. Hard for anyone here to say its worth the investment as it depends on your...

Yes I don't think that's an impossible deal to get. It's not exactly common but not that far away. Depends if the person is a graduate or good at interviews

is this arcade willing to back you? so rather than you putting 5k in and then wanting to leave after 2 months, can you ask them to fully back you for the first year or so? This way you can use your 5k to live off in the meantime as it sounds like your funds are tight right now. In the long term...

you need any extras in the background? I do a convincing impression of a trader playing with his mouse at the desk!
