There is no way you are going to get anywhere with this. You traded a wrong price and closed seconds later. You've agreed to the T&C in opening the account. As a previous poster said, you never had the 5500 pounds in the first place. Bottom line: you tried to rip off a bookie and they stopped...

Is 2 pips a big spread?? If you're trading 200-300+ pip swings, then does it really matter if the spread is 1, 2 or 3 pips? Surely the method, having an edge and the ability to apply it is more important than the exact spread... I can get 1 pip spread (eur/usd) on brokers account, 2 pips...

Agreed, buying even for long term buy and hold in a strong downtrend is probably not the smartest thing to do and represents too much risk in my view. However, given that banking has historically been a good sector over the longer term, and present issues aside, many banks are still...
