Funnily enough, I would have the opposite problem. The programming bit doesn't scare me, but I'm having difficulty finding a winning strategy that could be left on its own. Also, don't most spread betting firms prohibit trading bots? Cheers, Geoff

It's working now... And of course now that I've posted that message, it's all working fine...! Sorry about that folks - I swear I'd tried a bunch of things before posting. Maybe there was a real glitch and it's fixed at their end now? Anyway, I'll shut up and let everyone get back to what...

Hi, Can someone log in to Capital Spreads and tell me if their prices are updating? I can log in and get to the dealing screens, but the prices don't seem to change. For example, the FTSE price is stuck at 4217-4219 while their current chart says the price is at 4225.5. I'm wondering if...

Interesting - thanks for that. I'd sortof expected it to be a breakout strategy, but I'm not sure why... Thanks again, Geoff

Hi, How is the bollinger band used - is it a bollinger breakout method? For instance, is it a trade if it's broken out of the band, or is it a trade if it stays within the band? Geoff

Can you go into a bit more detail on how you'd use the bollinger bands here? Do you use them to filter out trades where your profit-taking point would be outside the bollinger range? Or do you only do trades that would take it outside the current bollinger range? Or only ones that would keep...

Cool - thanks for that. Can you expand on this a bit: Is that all there is to the WealthBuilder method, or is that in addition to the method? Cheers, Geoff

Which website? Any chance of a link to it? And is that really all there is to the WealthBuilder system? Cheers, Geoff

Hadn't heard of it. Does it require installing their own software, or does it just use the charts SB companies provide? And does it involve sitting watching all day for signals, or what? (Obviously I don't want you to give anything confidential away.) Cheers, Geoff

Thanks for the replies Hi, Thanks for all the repies, folks. I'm still not sure that spread betting is right for us as a club, but it's nice to know that there are some options (like joint accounts) that we can use if we choose. Cheers, Geoff

Interesting... I'll maybe phone again and see if I get to talk to a different person...! Was your account in the club's name, or was it an account someone opened and operated on behalf of the club? Cheers, Geoff

Hi there, Anyone know what the official position is on spread betting accounts for groups of individuals? I'm in a share club, and we have share dealing set up in the club's name (and we have all the appropriate paperwork for running the club etc.) Is it possible to set up a spread betting...

Thanks for that. Spam really annoys me, so I want to stomp it out wherever I see it. Sorry if I over-reacted. I do feel it's much more important than you seem to be treating it though. (And I never had a problem with your frankness, I just found what you said hard to believe.) I have faith...

Spam is Unsolicited Commercial Email. Frequency doesn't really enter into it - you may be an infrequent spammer (that may help you sleep at night), but you're still a spammer. The first time I sent an email to admin@capitalspreads.com asking them to stop sending me that drivel, they denied it...

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'stochastic goal' - I'm pretty new to all this, sorry. I thought it was just me thought that! I remember thinking at the time 'I know what you mean, but...' I think it's a great name ('No, no, I've had quite enough profits thank you very much.'), but I suspect...
