Quick update. CityIndex reinstated my short position in the Dell Sept contract after I provided them with evidence of pricing error. Still leaves me with questions as to whether I can continue business with them, afterall, they didn't contact me when they noticed the pricing error. It was up to...

Nothing odd at all. This is my money they are messing about with. If I can't get emotional about that, then I shouldn't be in this business.

And by the way, I did have a stop in place up at 1200. I trade intermediate to long term therefore my stops aren't close. By the way I think you're missing the point.... Their pricing is wrong!

Because it's obvious from the chart their pricing structure is dubious at best. Plus they didn't even give me a margin call. I don't need to know their response to illicit that they are unprofessional.

Forgot to mention, I did phone them straight after I noticed the position closed and the response I got was that my account had fallen below 80% margin. I did not investigate the price spike until after that phone call.

As it only occurred yesterday I'm giving them until Monday afternoon before I contact them. I have sent them an email with attachments explaining my position and am waiting a response. I will be in touch with the Financial Services Authority in due course.

I used to use IGIndex's advanced charts but from what I can remember you have to pay. Try prorealtime for a free end of day service that's excellent. I personally wouldn't use any of the brokers charts for daytrading (if that's what you're after) as there is a significant lag between price...

That entry should have read 1757, oops. 1679 is my stop.

Ask yourself what you're looking for. If you're after a system to make millions and millions my advice is to give up right now. There is no magic system! Vince offers alot of info on trends and a very simple entry exit system, but you can find all this info for free. Look up moving average...

Here's a trade I took this morning with IG. Entry 1679.2. Will this trend continue? I do not know but if it doesn't I will cut it quickly.

I bought his course a couple of years back and I'm doing ok out of it. Yes it's alot to pay for freely available information but you live and you learn. People in this thread are very bitter. Trading is a game of probabilities, more accurately, stacking the probability of a good trade in your...

Spread betting IS gambling Weigh up the risks and benefits. The odds are not in your favour with spread betting. Beating the spread in the allocated time frame and allowing for all the random day to day noise in any market is a big ask. But remember you can't just rely on beating the spread...
