Lion63 Absolutely. No one likes getting stopped but at least with futuresbetting you are stopped only if the price trades on the underlying market and what's more there is accountability there because you can check on the exchange websites the next day to see if that price did trade. With...

Lion63 No problem. Don't you sleep! Take your point though about closing although to be fair i know you can put stops in with futuresbetting which are left at the exchange when they're shut.

Lion63 Looking at the last few entries to this thread i reckon you should read about futuresbetting.com on www.financial-spread-betting.com They show the actual futures market and make their spread around the underlying bid/offer, so basically direct access trading but tax free because its SB...
