Just a quicky, interested in finding out more about the spread betting platform IB can anybody expand for me, cheers John

I've looked at Futures Betting (I believe Two Way are a white label) and like their model but for the big players out there you are restricted to the underlying volume. With SB firms to get an immediate fill in £200 a point is a plus for them. ;)

Hi Visaria, they are 8 ticks on their quarterlies. As far as I know SBs base their Dow on the Minis and hedge in the big Dow because of the larger lot size. :)

Dear Windlesham1, it's a shame you feel that way about Fins as I have never experienced the poor execution that you mention with them. I've always been frustrated by being rejected by other brokers when I click on B/S meaning I miss the price and Fins have never done this so the spread doesn't...

I suppose it depends on trading styles. My intraday stratergy works really well with such tight spread in the indices. :rolleyes:

I've been with Finspreads for a few months and have found their level of service very professional. Their spreads though not the tightest are very competitive and I love their platform. :cheesy: A lot a of people seem to favour cap Spread, but whilst dealing them I found a few things rather...

quite new to this, but it would seem that since starting to trade with FS (opening an account in late december) that they have had "if done" orders on their platform since i opened. I think that IG also offers them. :cool:
