I trade the Russel 2000 with £0.5 a point, the spread is 0.3 and margin requirement for each position is £32. I have asked if the demo is...

    Recommended account size

    Thanks Chad and Tom. I have been asking general questions with the company since opening the demo account and have established that there is a negative equity protection so I would hope not to lose the house :) as a private trader. My self employed income is less than 15k but the form was not...

    Recommended account size

    I have been spreadbetting on demo for a while now and at some point will attempt to open a live account. The application form asks for income and savings amount. I am self employed, do the SB companies ask to see proof of earnings and savings? Just wondering what criteria they use.

There would be no visitors to my home, no deliveries, no post to do with the work, just statements sent via email. I would prefer not to have a bed in the room, just a desk...

    Not worth trading with anything but SB companies

    Although I am reading more and more reports of some claiming to be ECN STP NDD that are great while on Demo but appear to be operating in a similar way to Spreadbet companies when going live. A friend has been with Pepperstone Razor for a while now and is noticing a big difference from their demo.

    "The main difference between the Pros and the amateurs is expectations"

    In response to the first post I think a lot comes down to personal expectations and goals. For someone that has big ideas about making a fortune and owning a big property and expensive car and being a jack the lad they are likely to find disappointment. For me I do not need huge income to make...
