About a year ago they had a section in their FAQ which stated that all bets were hedged so that no matter how big the bets and how successful the better BOM always was covered hence they had no interest in the client's bet failing. Suddenly that vanished from the FAQ completely. A member of the...

Hilarious reply from Lads that. Sounds like they put everything in the same boat, them vs you, and thus don't hedge the hourly bets either (I wondered about this).

Because it's still this supposed Wild West era regarding FX brokers, and obviously with many still smarting with the last year's exciting broker scandals, it may be best to implement a one-strike-you're-out approach to choosing brokers. Was GFT's treatment of UK customers acceptable in the first...

Wow that's extreme. Can you confirm that next week if possible so we know that's policy rather than a temporary technical error?

What you say about the spreads is true, but they are quite consistent around news. I don't focus too much on trading news myself but I do trade the various yen pairs which MG is an ideal broker for. Their spreads on Aud/Jpy and Gbp/Jpy for example are fine for me especially considering...

I'm looking for a SB company; having only previously bet binaries, I guess I'm coming to this relatively fresh but just from the threads on T2W I've decided on Capital and on avoiding WS like the plague. I'm adding this post merely to reinforce to the WS guy that posting in a way that comes...

E-Gold payment, free Visa Electron card etc. Haven't used them but it looks to me like they're targetting amateurs, hyip addicts and gamblers going by their site. I may well be wrong! Try Money Garden (www.MGForex.com) instead. Fast java platform with better charting than other java based...

There is a real person. I spoke to him about his grids and he suggested I pay him 1000 GBP per three months to try them out. He assured me that there is plenty of handholding available to those who need it. I said I'd think about it. He phoned me twice over the next month to see if I was...

If you need 400:1 try Money Garden. Nice customizable java platform, better charting than Oanda but limitted range of pairs. I've heard good reports though hasten to add I've not run a live account only an extended demo.

I'm sure that was indeed fun! :p

Thanks for the pointers. I've decided to run a trial account with them. I already use Oanda but also have an account with FXCM which I'd prefer to replace. :cool: So maybe MIG is an acceptable second account based on this info. Like FXCM it looks like it's only really going to be any good...

There are weird gaps e.g. 11.30-11.40 BST today when Ladbrokes just says 'No Betting at the moment'. Any idea what's going on? Are they doing this to everybody? :?:

So I'm not mad after all. (A shame, I could have done with the holiday... :lol: )

I registered for the capitalspreads demo and have been fiddling about with it. For the life of me I can't work out where to place a binary bet. (I only bet binaries and don't spreadbet, but IG is... no longer the place for me.) Where are they hiding? Am I going mad?

:lol: Exactly! It's a constant reminder of the awful alternative if I make a mess of this lark.. http://www.fx-charts.com/
