Hi, There are several US stocks reporting their q1 earnings over the next few days. Which websites are reliable for posting up the results soon after they've been made public? The general news sites, BBC, etc are quite slow to post this in their business pages. By the time I see it on there...

Does anyone use IG trading to trade currency pairs and know whether it's possible in their tool to "force open" an opposite position when you already a position open in one direction? this functionality exists for indexes, e.g. FTSE 100, but I don't see the force open button on the GBP/USD...

does anyone know if there is a market that allows me to buy/sell the FSTE 100 at or near the official market open price? I appreciate the FSTE 100 is not really a tradable product per se, and IG's prices are built from the nearest futures price, but this essentially means that when the FTSE...

Another example: this morning's 8am opening price for the FTSE 100 was 6710, but the FTSE 100 "daily funded bet" was at 6770 obviously the price drifted from the friday 4:30pm close price, based on the price of the FTSE futures market, but does anyone know if there is any market that would...

Hi, sorry if this is a novice question, but is there a FTSE index tracker that I can take long and short positions on intraday? I've been using the demo of IG trading spreadbetting tool, but their FTSE index markets are based on the futures prices, which often differ markedly from the actual...

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong channel, but I was wondering where you guys look for market data? i'm specifically looking for a table showing all the FTSE 100 constituents, each with their most recent open/close/high/low prices. so that I can sort and compare google finance allows me to...

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I take your points about the leverage / trade size and about holding onto a losing position. But my logic is that if I short a losing position then I'm not actually out of the money, as it's only a paper loss until I close the losing "long" position and the...

Hi. I've been googling to try to find a detailed Comparison of SB and/or CFD brokers in the Uk. Most results so far show only very high level info in the comparison, eg margin %s for certain markets, minimum trade size, etc. I'm trying to find out which brokers, if any, will have a margin...
