How old are you? You have to be aware that even the best stock traders (Soros, Buffett) took 10 years to learn the game. Takes that long to build up the experience. Don't trade any dodgy derivatives and DON'T spread bet - all spread betting companies are criminals. Just trade straight stocks...

Report them to the FCA and get them shut down.

Yes, they're criminals. I've just lodged a complaint with the FCA against them.

Shut your face you shill. We all know all the SB fraudsters post on here.

IG Index are a major fraud outfit mate. Don't spread bet, buy stocks - they're all criminals.

I'm going to start trading again soon with a similar sized account - I've found a job I enjoy where I can work Sat/Sun and trade during the week - the job covers my living costs which reduces trading stress to almost nil. Your stops are quite tight so I hope you've mastered your system - those...

Stop using FINSPREADS - the dealer intervention is horrendous - every trade without exception they'll rip you off; stops won't work - you'll be margined out when IN profit, I logged on one morning when the ftse was around 5000 to see a gigantic spike on their charts claiming it was at 10,000 and...

What guidance? You're not trading with real money while you feel this way are you? Who needs an office when you can trade from your living room? I looked for clues all over the place but all it came to was this: 1, Learn TA, 2, learn to read the tape, 3, muster the courage to act on your...

Trader # 7, I only read this post today and for all I know this exchange took place ages ago because I forgot to check. Quite correct you are/were. My question to you is: spreadbetting is tax free in the UK, do you think this offsets the merciless and profligate ripping off of their victims...

Nobrainer - any chance you could give me some info on DMA trading, ie: how much does each transaction cost, what are the margin requirements like and also, I heard a rumour you can claim trading losses back against your tax thus reducing the dreaded fabled tax bill. Is that true? Also, I hear...

Ok cool. Cheers Jason. I've been using the demo account for some time now and in my experience it's the best platform out there. David Waring says so too, I see. Just to clarify, you don't mind scalpers? Scalping is one tactic I employ depending on market conditions and I had big problems...

Hi Jason, I was wondering if you could tell me what the trading hrs are for the ftse 100 with fxcm? Are they 24hrs with a live account or do they always close at 8pm til 8am gmt? Cheers.

True, but not until you're trading some serious volume. My piffling pennies will hardly clog the system up.

Fair do's...I've actually heard good things about Capital Spreads, had them recommended to me from a trusted source, but I've some shocking experiences trading with Finspreads. I shorted the ftse one friday night at around 6000, logged on Monday morning to find the ftse apparently at 11000 and...

We are. I think DMA is the way forward, you get taxed 40% in the UK if you make more than 50k a year, but you get the peace of mind that when you enter/exit a trade you won't be trapped and trading is all about psychology; if you don't trust your spread betting racketeers how can you confidently...
