If the Labour Party get into power in 5 weeks time, they favour introducing the FTT. What effect will this have in the UK on 1) Spreadbetting 2) Forex account trading Thanks!

If a UK resident opens an account with ********, and it later goes bust and there is no client money left, to what extent are we covered and how do we go about claiming compensation? Thanks.

Are these any good, and when is their book detailing their trading methods being published?

Is it possible to open an account with the UK branch of IB and trade and chart with them using Sierra Chart? Also, importantly, how accurate and complete is the data, particularly for volume profiles, market delta etc? Thanks!

Yes he is the real deal. And so is David. Reading that again, I'm wondering if the April date for contact has been accidentally overlooked in favour of the May start date that was mentioned.

lol - I'd agree with the "lovable" bit, but certainly not "rogue" All three involved in the room seem very honest and straightforward to me. Which is why I'm wondering if something is genuinely wrong somewhere. I don't feel they are the sort to string people along for 3 months then not follow...

Anyone got any news about Tom? His members have been waiting for 3 months for him while he took time out to do R&D. He promised to contact them again by the end of April (or before) so they could all get back on track and know what they were going to be doing going forward, but it seems there...

I'd be very interested in spreadbetting the e-mini S&P. If I may ask, how did you get on with those? Also, are they the only two options for Spreadbetting e-mini prices/ what about prospreads for example? And, are there any other ways apart from opening a futures account in the US?

In what way?

Interesting, thanks Tom. I just noticed there is an active FTSE scalping thread, and that Jon has posted there, so that's some more catching up I need to do - for the intraday aspect. Thanks again

Thanks both of you. I'll read the other thread too. I also see some others that may be interesting - Big Ben etc. Also, do you have any thoughts on the other queries.. whether the method works ok on intraday charts, and also on most other instruments - eurusd, Dow, etc Thanks again.

Thanks Jon. Seems a shame the interest dropped off. I wondered if that was because it was not working as well as previously, or that people wanted more trades eg daytrading. Actually, it would be good to hear your opinion, and anyone elses who followed this, on whether the method works well...

Hello again all I learned quite a bit from this great series of threads, but they seems to have come to a premature end. Did this method stop working quite so well on the FTSE and not recover, or have you all found something more effective etc? Thanks a lot.

Not that specific I don't think. Just overnight UK time, as I understand it. I would say that if you, say, open your charts anywhere on (or off) the planet at around 0600GMT, 0700GMT or 0800GMT etc and there looked to be an "overnight" uk gmt range, even a 12+ hour one, that'll be one I...

Exchange Traded Fund - you buy and sell them like share. No stamp to pay I think. The tend to track things like the FTSE (eg isf), gold, etc and you can even buy Short ETFs that go up when so,mething else goes down.
