Will Hill and IG too

Good post thanks, I have found that bet365 and ladbrokes (flavours of too) limit very quickly, but haven't used for a while, please let me know if they have changed policy. One account with bet365 did act like Igmarkets for a few months and was very lucky. Igmarkets is rock solid for a long...

Thanks Londi, I think I see. So you can open a 5 minute option at any point in time e.g. 11:43 rather than having fixed start times like IG markets do e.g. 09:00, 09:05, 09:10 etc...

Can you open a trade during the 5 minute window you're trading, too many of these binary options sites will only let you open a trade before the 5 minute window has started!!! That's just crazy

agreed, never trade them naked

You'll never find the grail in a forum or a book. You just find doors and pathways. Work hard and you might find something. Question yourself before you pay for any trading tips, training, systems etc... There is enough free information on the internet to show you the way. The most...

Some trading rules for newbies that I have broken many times. Not definitive but from the top of my head might help some. Please don't see this as a lecture as I don't trade currently. Have a hard stop and don't risk more than 1% of your bank on a trade. Start trading to learn not to make...

For how I trade, the prospreads spread is too high, it would eat into my targets and would be another barrier to being profitable. If it have an 8 tick target and prospreads spread is 4 ticks roundturn i'm giving up 50% in spreads, I'd much rather pay the tax. I have used their platform on sim...

TY Leopard, I think you might be correct. SB'ing this instrument the way I intend to really might not work. I will look at those other companies you mentioned.

Hi, I need some help as I plan on trade the s&p 500 mini contract and wanted some advice on the best vehicle to do so? I trade very short-term market moves in European and US session time so trades can last minutes looking for 2 point (8 tick) market rotations. Is there anyone spread betting...

Does anyone know if client money is safe with Marketspreads? Are they FSA regulated?

Lay all the favourites in every race.

wow the guy traded £200 per point with no stop and didn't monitor the position, and IG let him do that. Is that right? I still don't see how IG are to blame for trying to get 92k from a inexperienced punter, apart from morally of course. But when do financial markets and morals mix?

Wow that's brutal. The majority of the complaints I've seen about SB firms are from people who were vastly over-leveraging themselves. This is my only gripe with certain SB firms that let you bet silly amounts per point with the available funds, IG is included in that. I agree that this part...

I really think you have to take the rough with the smooth as I've had scenarios where I've been given vastly( 50-60 points in some instances) better prices on fills for limit orders during fast markets. I didn't complain to the SB firm that I wanted my original limit price so why should I...
