I haven't received any answers and it may be due to the fact my question was too general and simplistic. Basically I am trying to assess whether the Capital Spreads overnight rollover RFR +/- 2% method is less favorable than the rollover method used by direct Access Forex brokers. As far as I...

I'm currently trading with Capital Spreads, but I'm thinking of migrating to a dedicated FX broker. Reasoning is the spreads usually reflect the true interbank market better (I've seen too many instances when large fast spikes looked a whole lot different between the spreadbetter and the FX...

Hello, I was holding a short position on EUR/JPY before the Non-farm Payrolls announcement today at 1:30 GMT. My Capital Spreads low on the chart showed 121.96. I've checked with various other brokers and Forex packages and the low shows 121.91. As you probably understand, that lower low...

Just to make this clear for me ,if you can, is a limit here the same as a stop limit above market price with a real broker? As you know, when placing a limit order above current market quote with a real broker, you would get filled immediately at the better market price.

Not that I agree with this, but I can accept the rationale of what you guys saying by limiting the distance for a limit targets for closing a position (which they do), but why put a wider spread on limit entries, I do not understand...

I'm posting an image from a new LIVE account with Capital Spreads (I'm new to SB but not to trading). Maybe I've missed the whole point of tight spreads, but if they're not available when you buy and sell then what's the point? case in point: the 1 point spread on Dax 30 Rolling Daily ticket...

Ok, thank you. I appreciate this.

Well, that's not what's implied from their Dealing handbook. I'll contact them about this just to make sure. Are you saying this from first-hand experience as their client?

Looking over at IG's spreads I find something odd not to my liking (and I hope to stand corrected): Seems as if their regular hours for many indices start at 8:00 AM, and that's when most spreads begin to narrow. It seems this is also relevant to the DAX Futures instrument , which actually opens...

Hey, The tax is actually no issue for me at all. The reason I'm looking at SB's is because some of my strategies are newer so it is a risk management issue. I want to take advantage of the minimum 1£ per point to allocate different sizes to different types of trades. Also, I require a one stop...

Hi guys, I would have not posted a new forum thread unless I was utterly confused by now. I tried reading this forum really thoroughly the last couple of days, but with more conflicting info that just made things worse :lol: Anyways, here's what I do, and I'd be happy if anyone can assist me...

yeah, but these are the real numbers.. not the theoretical ones (which I have no idea how they are computed). The theoretical numbers are posted under Historical Prices on the Left pane in Yahoo Finance.

Ok, Thanks kreks! Do you know at what time does Yahoo publish it's theoretical values for the day?

Funny. Are we also supposed to trade this system using "theoretical" funds only? ;) Thanks Kreks!

Does anyone know why the current DowStomper stop is set to 13,160? If I understood the system correctly, than in the case of a short, the stop should be placed 1% above the high made on the day of the signal. The signal was made on April 23rd to short and the high was 12984 (rounded). That...
