Thanks for sharing Lesly I rarely visit T2W these days and haven't commented in a long time. I read your post and the full account detailed on 'Medium'. I felt compelled to say a few words. Thanks for your openess and honesty. I'm glad you are moving on with your life and I wish you the very...

Hi Guys, Nice thread. Just raising my query here because it relates to trading the footsie. I'm looking for a service that would enable me to analyse the index by sector preferably in real time. I hope someone can be of help. Peace.

@ jabar2, just reviewed the thread and see you use Berkeley, glad it's working for you. @ Neil, thanks for the suggestion, looked at them ages ago but hated their platform. However now that you mention it, will steel myself and give them another look in, thanks again. Peace

That's useful to know, must give them a call. Essentially that's £4 per side and $6 dollars per side. All in all these things are relative, those prices still work for me as having at least one UK based broker is something I desire, if you know of any UK based brokers that can beat Sucden...

PS, Sucden's trading platform is flexible so you can install and trade via 1) computer or laptop/ internet connection, 2) via the web on any computer with internet access or 3) via smart phone. IMO the first option is the best, the second is bearable but their smart phone (I use a Samsung...

Comms vary, as an example they currently start from £4.28 per side for the FFI and $7.16 per side for the ES. Withdrawals are free and painless. Slippage is usually not too bad and happens infrequently, having said that, I'm not a high frequency trader. You can trade futures, equities, fx and...

Berkeley were the first broker I ever used (Sept 2008), now use Sucden Financial and find them to be much better; * lower comms * far better customer services * funds converted to £ sterling after trades have been closed/ at start of next of next trading day * no inactivity fee IMO, platform/...

The advantages I see for forex are: 1. great charts with the ability to add trendline, fibs, multiple indicators etc. and it's free, where if you want real time charts for futures you have to pay a fee to each exchange. ---------------------------------------------- Hi jefftheripper Thanks...

Hi Timsk Sorry to be pedantic, however in so far as the YM is concerned, since its smallest increment is 1 point, presumably your 3 tick stop is actually a 3 point stop. I trade the YM 3 point stop, FF with a 3 point (6 tick) stop & the ES with a 1 point (4 tick) stop. DMA, using only S/R...

Hi SDG Sorry for missing the first part of the query in your original post, it's good to see youv'e since moved on. Yeah, there isn't much on my profile, ah well. I trade futures too, mainly indices and occasionaly gold & corn. I have been thinking about trading FX futures; for the last...

Hi SuperDriveGuy You may find the COT report to be of some use: http://www.cftc.gov/marketreports/commitmentsoftraders/index.htm Peace

Hi Tubbs As far as uk brokers are concerned, it's been a while since I looked into this. Anyway the following may be of interest although it's possible things may be different now: * Berkely futures, there minimum opening balance used to be around £7.5k * ODL futures (not the spread betting...

Hi TD easy capture works well and it's free: http://www.easy-capture.com/ Peace

In light of the op's question and the above responses, should one expect a similar service irrespective of whether ODL is being used to trade futures/ options or for spread betting? Peace

Hi Andy I'm a bit of a mix and matcher. At the beginning of the week, I tend to mainly trade the mini dow, as it is a low value contract but it tends to have a wide daily range. The aim of the game is to risk as less as possible while trying to build a fund for later on in the week. Most...
