Looking for SB Account with....

[Xylem]

Hi im looking to change my CMC spread betting account to someone more reliable.

These guys dont have volume indicators.
Have a very limited selection of stocks, (i play US equities eg. RIMM)
Occasionally dont let you buy or sell certain stocks, because its not in their favour.

So now im looking for a new spread betting account that satisfies the above criteria AND:

1. Deals with a lot of US stocks
2. Has a tight Spread
3. Ideally has a good signup bonus.

Im still a noob so also need to bet small amounts like £1 a point.

I really appreciate your knowledge and help.

I don't think your going to find Volume info via a spread bet firm, nor are you going to find tight spreads on US stocks.

there were tight spreads with cmc

capital spreads have tight spreads and you can get a sign-on credit if you sign up from here:

Capital Spreads - Better value spread betting

Anyothers that match my criteria or am i better off just getting a normal trading account?

At the level you trading at forget a normal broker - commissions will eat you alive. I use IG Index on a daily basis and had no problems - prefer the platform to CMC. I only use them for forex so dont know the spreads on US equities. Worth a look.

Also have a look at Oanda and IB - US sites giving DMA and both very good. Not spread betting so be aware of tax issues on any gains.
