Well said! My next stop is FB.com. For tax reasons I want to stay with SB as I'm not planning on moving country just yet. Although med-term somewhere with better weather and less bl**dy traffic wardens would be nice! :lol:

Cool. Thanks!

Well we'll see what Marvin has to say relaxed after his FarEast sojourn, however Marvin works for the company so what he tells us is just company PR. I agree with you that time is money but I just can't seem to get too cross with WS as despite their failing they're kind of my Good Luck charm at...

:confused: ?? :confused: Sorry swissgold, too cryptic for me.

Phil, If the question was for me, then almost all my trades have been referred to from this morning. Even the £1 ones, but as to the reliability of the WS platform I can't say I've had any issues with it over the past 2 weeks since I joined. The problem is when WS dealers decide to manually...

Their add campaing should have the small print. "WS would only like spreadbetters who consistently lose to sign up for an account. If you are a winner, then please go elsewhere". :lol:

Good onya laptop! The only way to make crap companies improve their performance is to vote with your feet (or more like your money in this case). I'm going to go FuturesBetting.com as they seem to have a real system and a business model that does not care if you win or lose with them, therefore...

I agree. The "System Trader" excuse is just sour grapes by WS. They just can't stand losing. BTW - I just tried a £1 on USDJPY and had to wait for the price to be "referred to dealer" :lol: Gotta laugh really. Up until yesterday, anything under £10 was filled automatically. Can't be beacuse...

I guess that would work for punters who do not compare their prices against another source. Personally I have 3 quotes on the screen at any time (IG, Alpari & WS). It's not that I what Marvin calls a "System Trader", it's just that I want to ensure I get a fair price on entry.

I guess WS only put clients in this club if they are making a profit off them. ;) Laptop - I don't see why you are putting up with 3-pip spreads and all that messing about if you can go to IG and get the same or better spreads, instant fills and 24-hour trading? I find the whole excuse of...

IG Index has also been doing 2-pip spreads on EUR/USD for a few weeks now - and you can trade 24-hours with them on the same 2-pips. I'm trading with both WS and IG at the moment and finding the WS slow response and referals to dealer a big annoyance. Anything below £10/point seems to go through...

Chump, Did you ever try out MTpredictor in the end?

Volume divergence I'm in the Dow bear camp at the moment. :arrowd: Notice the volume had dropped the last 4 days while the indices edged up. IMO it will drop below 10100 this week unless we get a strong bias on earning this week. :confused:
