Without checking them all, they look the same whether demo or live. I do not know what you mean as zero unless you are referring to the difference between the spread bet quotes and the real markets because the spread is the difference between the buy and sell prices. At 1 tick or pip CS are...

I guess you had better develop a constitution that enables the digestion of your shorts:) I saw problems back on Tuesday and after a rather pointless discussion with customer service in which my internet connection was blamed ( I had two running concurrently "ADSL and Cable" ) followed by...

I have also received full settlement with 26% paid by KPMG and the balance (about a week ago) from FSCS. Mine was also below £50k but nevertheless a sizeable chunk of change:) I have left my accounts with other brokers as they were after re-assurance that they are not and will not be exposed to...

Resolved in what appears double quick time which is not at all bad for advertising as I believe it is an outsourced system.

Live account server is working OK but demo server is either not loading or if it does then is not functioning. The demo has been hit and miss recently :thumbsdow

I am also interested because on Saturday I received the agreement forms from KPMG which is now signed and returned. No problems at all with the amount but the initial payment is 26 cents on the dollar converted in GBP and based on valuation in USD at time of declaration of bankruptcy. I have...

In the stair step of peaks and troughs within a structure the only place to put a stop is beyond the (pivot) peak or trough which proves the trade wrong. How much beyond is personal choice. Whether stops are hard or soft is personal choice but is discipline is not enough to avoid personal...

You are right, I did skim read and missed your point regarding stops and limits. You appear to be creating a hypothetical what if series of alternatives to somehow prove the difference near misses and or near hits can make and add an element of chance that creates some hypothetical difference...

I can replicate his methods but what I cannot do is add loads of contracts onto winning positions into trend pull-backs which is counter intuitive but the right way to run to maximum profits. I also have the same problem as a broker I used to use whereby it takes years or sometimes beyond...

If you believe that either luck or random statistical factors were involved in what was probably an outstanding multiplication of a starting stake, you might as well pack in any hope of trading success and walk away. During the 25 years I have traded I have known of a handful but known one of...

It looks as though we are all being treated differently. I haven't heard a thing for weeks although I did ensure via a telephone call (KPMG) followed by a confirmation e-mail that I am in the system and awaiting processing. Who is\are FSPC, please.

Is it any less fair than every single taxpayer in the UK paying more in taxes to receive less for what they spend for not only now but far off into the future to bail out the bankers, the government etc for reckless gambling in the first case and profligate spending by the last administration in...

Although I left GNI in 2008 it was also my impression that the FSCS were going to treat retail clients of all Man group clients the same. Their criteria implies that businesses are to be treated differently but clients without differentiation. I found my GNI statements from the time I joined...

I would have thought that they had learned from their 1980's experience :) I have only recently taken much interest in spread betting although I have had accounts (for hedging) with spread betters for years. I must admit that I was surprised to see the nationality range of people using the UK...

I think EU countries should be more interested generating real growth rather than looking around for easy pickings. In various discussions over Tobin tax (transaction tax) your country, I believe has the only precedent of implementation which led to failure of projected income followed by a...
