Amazing advert I've just seen in the Sunday Times (I get it a week late here).

Not sure what the deal is - but it may be worth looking at. Class actions suits can work.
As a client of these guys I'll answer these becuase I feel poor adrian is getting a kicking for nothing. I will openly declare up front I visit these guys offices every few weeks as i go via milton keynes to the wilds of Cheshire. They make a nice cup of tea and they have a wireless hotspot...
There is an API. The platform is based on FFastfill so the API is identical to that. Depends on how sophisticated you want your systems to be.
I thought though that the point of this thread was not APIs and IB Vs Futures Betting but the simple fact that if you are a part time futures...
IB Vs FB
I have used both Interactive Brokers and Futures Betting. EDITED
For what its worth my thoughts are:
1. I much prefer the FuturesBetting platform over IB. It seems to be a heck of a lot faster - especially in a fast market.
2. The twowayfutures bloke managed to get a product...
I am a client - but via EDITED. They are FSA regulated and based in the UK so I felt it was easier to deal with them. Took me 4 days to get the account open. The platform is really quick and efficient, and the support I got from the boys at Twowayfutures was neat (I went into their office to...
Mr H is now selling ...... options on blocks of land. You apparently pay him £5k and get an option on 1 acre of land. 7 years later you can either buy it for £15k or lose your cash. Sounds like a winner to me ...................... I can't wait to get my "once in a lifetime opportunity"
OOO! How exciting. BBC has said that the FSA are investigating suspicious share deals.
My prediction is:
2 years invetigation. £10 million cost. Nothing found.
Has anyone used this product or bought their course?

I'm interested in learning more about Elliot Wave and is seems like this may be a nice course - I bought the Rober Miner book and was too thick to make head or tail of it.
I'm a user
I use them. I do it because I have the trendsignal product and they are doing a few upgrades that will work with trendsignal. I also use the Ninjatrader platform they recommend and I like it. The only difference I have seen to IB is that they give advice when I want it and now...
You can open a futres account for £1450 - why handicap yourself by SBing? Seems to me that futures trading has to be easier - by definition a tighter spread makes profits easier to come by. An accountant can take care of the tax (well mine has done a good job anyway).
Oh no it isn't
CMC are NOT showing Level 2 data from what I can see. It seems to be slightly different (or majorly) I just ticked a load back and if they show Level 2 it should be the same as eSignal and IG L2 dealer. L2 dealer and eSignal match. CMC is different. How are they doing this?
Dow Data
Did you want tick data or just historical data? I have historical data going back years and years at a daily level. Tick data I have about 4 years worth. Send me a message and if its any good to you I'll zip it up and send it to you. I don't think its illegal to do that as its...
TrendSignal Obligations and connections?
Just a quick note from me to confirm I have no obligation or connection with Trendsignal. I did email them a few comments from on this forum and ask them to comment themselves (or at least join T2W) though, but they just repeated what thay have said...
Never used it
Can I ask a question? You are a senior member (I assume that means a senior trader). Your profile says you made over £100k last year. Why do guys like you who are clearly successful continue to search for new things? Is it a "more profit" thing, or do you find something stops...
