Thank you for reply

Hi Not sure where to post this so apologies in advance if off topic. IG Index had 'a spike' at 7am today hi 12732 lo12355 over a period of about 12 seconds. Is this genuine or to take out stops. Same on ftse cash thanks Do

Thanks As an example last Friday at 1.30 the Dow price quoted by IG dropped about 100 points in about 30 seconds ( 13120-13020) as the non farm payroll figures came out. If you were long prior to this with a stop loss in at say 13100, where would you expect to be closed out without a...

Hi I have recently opened an account with IG Markets and will be using their 'guaranteed stop loss' facility which costs an extra 4 points on the spread for trading the daily Dow for example. I would be interested to know if you 'professional' (more experienced) traders here use this type of...

Hi Please excuse if this is a really really dumb question but, Am I correct in saying that it is incorrect to say that 'there is a lot of buying (or selling) going on today'? If a share is bought it equally has to be sold and vice versa. Is it better to describe it as alot of shares were...

Excellent discussion everybody. I too spreadbet along with three mates (all separately and independently). My problem, along with I know my three amigos, and I suspect some others who may be reading this thread and visiting this excellent website is .... I don't really know what I,m doing...

Stevet I am a novice using an SB and a live chart of the Dow. Simple for a simpleton. I take your point of the 'excess spread' and as Chartman said the fact that the SB shift their position quicker than I can see. So what I want to know is how in GB can I go about trading and/or viewing the...

Hi and thanks for interesting reading. I'm one of the schmucks who only trades using spreadbetting. Some of you imply that the SB's are a waste of time and money. What do you suggest instead? I always bet on the dow.
