Hi Alastair, It is possible to spread bet option prices with IG. No premiums involved though i'm afraid. £2 a point is the minimum stake and margin required is around £1k, profits tax free of course. Disadvantages are spreads and margins can increase quickly and there can sometimes be a...

Realised I hadn't posted my October DAX PIE trade result. Based on a trading pot of £5200 for a £10 stake my October DAX PIE trade returned 2.98% (£155). Regards, Mark

Did you get censored or did you choose to take the abuse out? I hope it was the latter. Your quote above is a little out of context as i did say "Strictly speaking, maybe candlesticks aren’t an indicator in their own right, but what better way to picture the ‘uppy-downy’ nature (that’s a...

My October FTSE PIE trade has expired today for my 14th winning trade in a row. Return is a little lower than I would normally hope for and there a a few reason s for this; We are now using a bigger bank. (£5200 per £10 staked (spread betting), as opposed to £3500 that used to be recommended...

Today is option expiry day and both my FTSE and DAX trades have closed for a profit. I think this is 13 profitable months in a row. I'm now basing my returns on a trading pot of £5200 per instrument per £10 staked as this is the new recommendation from Glynn - it used to be £3500 for the FTSE...

Hi Becks 100, I think we have established that you think spread betting is gambling. Respectfully, I'll disagree with that. I think you're right that spread betting PIE is riskier than DMA, but I don't think I've ever said anything to the contrary? Certainly Glynn and Paul prefer the DMA...

I’ve been in conversation this week with Glynn about spread betting PIE, particularly about the margin/pot size required. The pot recommended by Glynn for spread betting PIE when trading the FTSE has been £3500 per £10 staked. The pot recommended by Glynn for spread betting PIE when trading...

My site (and in the main, this one for that matter) is aimed at people who are interested in trading currencies, indices, commodities, option etc. Most likely via spread betting, CFD's or Direct Market Access. This is higher risk than traditional investing (buying shares or bonds etc) and not...

Becks100. I'll point out again PIE is not my strategy. I didn't create it, I don’t publish it and I don't run it. I attended the PIE course (as Simon did) and I reviewed the system. I also post my monthly results warts and all. If you actually read my report on PIE (which I'm presuming you...

Hi Simon, I still don't understand why posting a testimonial as a comment on our site is a bad thing and why you don't consider it to be marketing? I understand that you are unhappy about this now, but at the time had no idea that posting a testimonial (after receiving permission to do so) on...

Hi Simon, Firstly, please can we keep it civil. I know I am on a hiding to nothing in trying to convince you I acted in good faith, but I did and do and will continue to try and prove this to you. You're right I do make a fair few mistakes which are, by definition, all my fault. I also own...

Managing the trades didn't take me long and I was probably in my PJ's at some point too, or I could paint a picture about coming in from the pool, when in truth it actually rained quite a lot whilst we were away! The issue isn't the time it takes as I've always set alerts on my spreadbet...

Hi All, I’ve been away on the family holiday for the last 2 weeks. Dodgy internet and Black Monday is not conducive to a very relaxing break! I've posted this on the TradersBulletin site but wanted to add it here too. So the good news first, I closed my August trades for profits. The DAX...

Hi Simon, I've sent you a couple of emails as they disprove another of your incorrect assumptions. I have also made a video showing my email account as further proof that I have replied to you at the times I have stated I have. I will get this posted somewhere so that you can see it. It...

Hi Simon, I can understand you're suspicion that the emails I forwarded had the date and time edited to suit and this is something I would have been able to do, but falsifying a screenshot of a sent items box is something I would have absolutely no idea how to do. Would a video of me clicking...
