Great thread! Have you seen this article about flights that suddenly disappear from tracker sites? https://www.theregister.com/2020/09/18/flight_tracking_adsb_oddity_ins_drift/

Ok, thanks for getting back so quickly. If I click on a red thread title where I know I've read some posts then I nevertheless get taken to post #1. So it looks like the system doesn't "remember" which posts I'd read from before the makeover? I guess that means you have to "Mark forums read" to...

Probably a dumb question coz I've only just discovered the makeover - how long has it been live? Anyway, is there any indicator showing that a thread has received new posts that I haven't read? And is there any easy way of navigating to the first unread post? What I mean is something like the...

So you went short GBPCHF in March at 1.291? And you said you were in profit at some point by 55% - when was that? Until April it only went up... You said you hate to close for a loss, but with this kind of trading you really need to use stops. Is this sort of trading really for you?

What about Switzerland? Dukascopy Bank in Switzerland say they are not applying ESMA rules, but their Dukascopy Europe subsidiary in Latvia will of course have to. Dukas offers forex, CFDs and binaries but no SBs (I guess SB is a purely UK thing because it depends on UK tax regs). I can't...

Yes, I had a similar message. I've only deposited the minimum with IG and I've been doing 4 small trades a month just to keep PRT free, so I can see where they are coming from. On the other hand I was planning to put more money in and increase my trade size. I think PRT is great so I'll probably...

Peakoil, did ETX send you an email to tell you about this, or did you see it on their website? Do you know if it affects forex as well as spread betting? I've got an MT4 account with them (transferred over from Alpari - seemed an easier way to get my money out than waiting for the receivers)...

Have you ever looked at these products? They're issued by Commerzbank so I would imagine they must be available in Germany: http://www8.warrants.commerzbank.com/Products/ProductSearchAdvanced.aspx?pc=20045&c=2419364 Edit: It looks like you need to select Mini Futures Classic --> European index...

If I understood correctly, this is incredible. You were short so you'd made the right call. The platform showed you had made a significant profit, but then the broker reviewed all the fills and your profit turned into a loss... Some traders who were long made huge losses and, unfortunate though...

Norway and Switzerland have never been in the EU...

Sorry, I don't really know and I'm a bit too busy at the moment to check again. I guess you'll get the email soon. Let's hope they can pay up fairly quickly now.

Yes, looks like things are moving forwards. Based on the new email I decided to request that my money is transferred to my new ETX account (mainly to save typing in all my bank details).

I'm in the same situation. There was no doubt about my Alpari account balance so I agreed it with the administrators. I still haven't heard anything from the FSCS. My understanding is that ETX has bought Alpari's client details only. It has not acquired "funded client accounts". ETX has opened...

That thread was great :-) Good luck this time round!
