    Which is the best CFD broker out there?

    If you are comfortable with your own trade decisions and are supplied with enough market data, research reports, stock information and news headlines, then you are better off going down the order execution route. This way you will retain a far larger amount of your Profit rather then handing it...

    Which is the best CFD broker out there?

    Its got to be GNI for me. I've seen a lot of CFD brokers out there, and if you are looking for execution only, then they seem to be the best overall package. Excellent platform, low rates, quick and helpful, their own software and support team (Which can make a huge difference), and your own...

    Need a good stock trading system

    Well, if you wanted to trade equities as well as CFDs, have Long and Short positions, you can do that on the same platform with GNI touch. You have the Direct Market Access platform, no re-quotes or widening of spreads, your own account handler, and competitive rates. Worth a look.

    CMC Markets - suggestions for alternatives wanted?

    GNI touch is a brilliant CFD broker, the only issue you may have is that they are execution onlu, not advisory. However, when you open an account with them you get assigned your own personal account handler who you can chat with and discuss your trades, the markets, your account etc. So almost...

    Decent CFD Brokers please!!...

    If you are trading on a DMA (Direct Market Access) platform, it makes no difference whether you are institutional or retail, you will still get the same prices on your screen. Why...... because the prices are coming DIRECT from the market, they are LIVE, and therefore it is impossible for...

    Decent CFD Brokers please!!...

    This is what I understand DMA to be in reference to CFD trading: Direct Market Access (DMA) CFD prices and liquidity are identical to the underlying equity markets. Investors enter into CFDs at the underlying market price. The CFD market has developed various models. Many suppliers have...

    levelII vs Times and sales

    I feel that having access to Level 2 is more and more important. Being able to see your position sitting in the order book, on the market depth of the stock gives you that piece of mind that you are not getting robbed with requotes or widening of spreads. I am moving away from Spreads and into...

    Please explain IB!!

    Well I thought that if you are a proper regulated broker firm and offer CFDs to your clients, then your clients will be contracting directly with the CFD provider while you look after the broking side. I thought this was an Introducing Broker set up. As I understand it, Patricia is referring to...

    DMA CFDs - can i set my own prices within the spread? help much appreciated!

    I thought I should mention that GNI have actually brought their commissions right down, identical to IG's. Yous should be able to get rates of 10bps for DMA CFD trading. Plus you can also trade the indices. (CFD trading from GNI touch) My cousin has an account with them and says the overall...

    Hi eagletower, I am not sure if Boot Camp is free or not. If you friend has the 'Leopard' operating system, then it comes with it, otherwise he may have to buy Leopard. Regards, Bob

    what type of trading account?

    CFD trading is one option, but make sure you go with a Direct Market Access provider. What £10KLoser I think means is that the prices you trade from, are coming directly from the market and are not getting requoted. As a result the spreads aren't widened or your not being requoted and so you...

    Which SIPPs can be used with GFT platform?

    GNI touch does SIPP's, and there are no restrictions on the margins or trades. Although I know they don't do trailing stops.
