Thanks Simon No. I'm not a director or anything; I just wondered what would happen. I only trade large stocks (FTSE-100/250) anyway, so the chances are probably slim that they'd go bust, they're more likely to be taken over. However if you wanted to be absolutely sure, it's probably best to go...

Hello I have a question. Forgive me if this is not the correct forum, but I couldn't find another one for CFD's. Can anyone tell me what happens if a company I own CFD's in goes out of business. For example, and using ease of figures, say I have £10,000 worth of CFD's at 10% margin, so I've...

Hello From time to time I experience a strange problem with trend lines on charts, could anyone please tell me what it is or even if they have had a similar problem. Here’s the problem: I draw a trend channel on a chart through various support and resistance levels, etc. One day for...

Thanks for all the replies. I checked the data with another provider and it was exactly the same, which would suggest the data is correct. DionysusToast, would an off-exchange 'block trade' be like a kind of mini auction. If so this wouldn't affect normal trading, would it? Thanks DGC

Thanks scose-no-doubt. That would explain the considerable difference. They don't tell you that in the small print, do they! DGC

Hi I’m very confused. Can anyone help with this please? For a while now I’ve been reading a lot on Richard Wyckoff and the association of price and volume, etc. To do my studying I’ve been using Prorealtime’s EOD data feed, basically because it’s free and includes volume. Now, it’s come to a...

Hi Does anyone know a way that I can use the Prorealtime scanner to perform a top down relative strength scan of the London Stock Exchange (market/sector/stock). There is a relative strength comparison indicator you can add as a window underneath the price window, and that works perfectly OK...

Thanks Jack O'Clubs, appreciate the help. How would I find market depth for FTSE-futures. Are they in level 2? Is there a LSE symbol for them?

Hi, I’m relatively new to trading; I’d class myself as an apprentice at this stage. I’ve bought and sold shares conventionally in the past, but only really with long term investment in mind. A few months ago I opened a Finspreads spread betting account and have been trading the FTSE-100 rolling...
