Hi guys. It was on the AIG and I dont mind saying the demo account has been opened with Capital Spreads. I went short when the price was around 33.84 and set a stop at 34.04. The price started to drop (which is good for me :) ) and so I then ammended my stop so it was set at 33.74 and the...

Thanks Jason101. You have not been condescending...I am a newbie :) As for the question asking what timeframe I will be trading on, I am thinking of starting out with days rather than intradays... Thanks for the reply and any advise on reading material will be appreciated. Thanks again. PS...

Hi guys. Just opened a spread betting demo account with £10k. Anyway I was going short and set myself a stop gap which was sitting there nicely. As I'm new to this I sat here glued to my screen but wanted to test this "stop" feature. Then the price began to creep up and then I saw it go...

Hi there. I've opened up a couple of demo accounts to learn to trade, but what I find most annoying is either the charts seem pretty basic (unable to add content, lines etc..) or there is a delay on the charts. Are there any companies out there that I could open a demo account with but have...

Jason101, why is it you say UK Shares may give me more time to play with my money? Could you give a little explanation or reason please :)

Hi everyone. Wondering if someone can give me a bit of advice. I'm looking into Spreadbetting (and I'm a complete newbie) but I am wondering if the Index's are the place to spreadbet in or maybe FOREX? I'm new to all this and learning by reading some books and websites but would like to see...

OK since this post a few moments ago (and after I emailed their helpdesk) the daily FTSE 100 markets are back.... but only with a yellow phone icon saying "Call to deal" on them all??? No online trading?? Am i the only one with this issue or would it be a global thing (hence posting here to...

Using IG Index for spread betting and today I have gone in to look at the FTSE 100 Daily spreads and some Daily Binary bets but they have dissapeared not only from my Watchlist but you cannot navigate to them either? they were available up until about 11.00 GMT? (Only FTSE 100 futures...

Hi guys. Wondering if the Ban on short selling has been lifted yet? Some sites mention it but I cant see it on the FSA site, so not sure as of the latest regards to the ban?

Being new to spread betting and looking on the web at so many different sites offering their services I am getting a little overwhelmed by which ones to choose. I have opened a demo account with Tradefair and Capital Spreads. I am not sure which one is better though (both look and feel the...

Anyone know of a site where they offer a demo account for Binary betting? There are plenty for Spread Betting I have seen but its the Binary Betting I wanna try out.

Yeah I've done just that. Tradefair.com give you a fake £10,000 pot so have just opened a DEMO account with them. This should give me a good idea of what to do etc :) Thanks guys...

Thanks Tomorton. Some good points there. I've just been reading the first of my two books i purchased. Some bits i understand...some bits I will no doubt have to read again. One thing for sure is that its advised to have and automatic stop-loss set up - so I will be taking that advice on...

Hi everyone I'm new to the spread betting idea and have this week bought myself a couple of books on Amazon to help me understand spreadbetting (I have though been doing it on Sport for a while - but keen to move into the financials) OK i'm aware of the issues in the financial markets at the...
