Just had a call from George at CS. Position reinstated. Restored my faith in Capital Spreads! Thanks everyone.

Thanks for all the replies. Thanks to your help I've learnt I need to do an additional check for bid/offer spread volatility before committing to a stock outside FTSE100. Thanks to the contributors I now realise this info is available on sites such as iii.co.uk but only for the current day. Does...

Thanks tar. Appreciated. To be honest this is what I wanted to hear, as the minute you lose faith in the spread betting firms you've nowhere else to go if you're under capitalised for stock purchase etc. Another lesson learnt! I suppose on thinly traded stocks it may be wise to trade with...

Yes I believe on some platforms like IG its called Brit insurance holdings. Opened down 3, currently up 11 and I'm out on a 30 point loss...seething.

sorry just found it...Direct Market Access.

Hi pit pony. Thanks for your post but excuse my ignorance but what is DMA?

Thanks pboyles and PipStarfor the quick reply. I simply feel cheated. I don't mind losing money if I simply got it wrong, but when my judgement (in this case) seems sound and the price is trending nicely upwards it's frustrating to be going out on a loss for an event for which the spread...

Thanks for those replies that address the posting. The stock in question (Salamander) varies from 60,000 to 350,000 (ignoring peaks). The day in question which saw the spread range from 1.1 to 10+ saw a volume of just over 82,000. May I ask what level of volume (daily shares traded) in your...

I trend-trade and initiate bets with stop orders which can last from a few days to several weeks. Recently I bet long on Salamander Energy - a FTSE250 company. In this instance I was at my computer and saw the spread widen from a decent 1.1 (with Capital Spreads) to a scary 10 points in the...

What's the length of trade (approx) for a futures bet to be more beneficial than the rolling daily from an overnight financing point of view?

Monday I think...used the 'go advanced' option and when I submitted my post a message came up saying it needs to be ok'd by moderator.

Yep --definitely censored. My post about his new address not published although info in public domain. Simply 'whois' the domain.

Many thanks Mincemeat...this is valuable feedback and greatly appreciated.

I find a posting where someone declares they're going to set up a journal (November 2008) to give an honest unbiased assessment on this manual/system. I spend the best part of an hour trawling through 15 pages of the journal only to find out he hasn't even started yet - that's why I was pissed...
