Thanks also for your response, timetotrade simon. I quite agree that for newbies, the inexperienced and those who are comfortable using stops on every spreadbet, mandatory stops, even non-guaranteed ones, make at least some sense. What I am about to say, I say with all respect to you, and...

Thank you v m, Highbury FX. Nice background info. I was using ETX but dislike the fact that they don't do daily statements, only monthly statements, meaning that unless clients pay absolute attention to all trade open/close emails, any errors (which may easily stand out at the end of a day's...

@mike. exactly - there's another qtn hopefully those who are using their current platform, to place actual trades, may be able to answer: are all of their spreads always fixed, or do they sometimes move (i.e., widen/reduce) on the current non-demo platform? (and again, any comments on stops...

Thanks mike. :-) Sounds good.

With the greatest of disrespect, EnlightenedJoe, I actually don't need someone with all of 1,427 posts in one single year, to tell me anything about my problems. Moreover, and much as you might have better luck elsewhere on these forums, I will from now onwards do my best to ignore you, as I...

Yes indeed, I can tell we won't be best of friends during this lifetime, "EnlightenedJoe" I did ask them and received no response, which is why I ask here. Hope that helps you... Anyone else could answer my queries please - would be much appreciated.

To my eyes, Intertrader is currently looking like the next best thing to sliced toast - even if they won't be beating IG Index any time soon -who I continue to recommend with the very greatest of confidence. All other things (spreads, margins etc.) being roughly ‘a little here a little there’...

beg to differ with points 3 & 4 above: "3) Trade with that virtual £10,000 as if it was your hard earned cash, and do so for a least 2-2 months with your theoretically ‘winning’ strategy. 4) If your strategy is ‘truly’ sound you should be able to easily turn £10,000 into £20,000 with...

@ foroom lluzers, I would opine that your 2639th post is one of your very finest, and so I've no doubt you're onto something. Matter of fact, I've since realised that a wee error has indeed appeared in my above post - moreover - when I wrote this: " Lastly, it might also be argued that anyone...

How can I be wrong, I must now wonder, Mr. 2636 posts, when I've quoted my figures from one of the most reliable sources anyone could quote from?

So here we have four pages of a thread - where someone decides (and there is no sugar coating this...) without any highly regarded supporting reference that, ahem, 95% lose. Oh dear... (shakes head) Another respondent then challenged the percentage on the basis that it was somehow an...

Hi Lee, Many thanks for your message. Sounds good :-) Albeit, Broxbourne is just a little bit off my beaten track, still... if there's any chance I can make it, I'll be sure to get back to you. Cheers for now, Peakoil PS & BTW, if you've ever worked in CSFB, at some point in your life, then...

Hi Lee, nice thread. I too can vouch for IG and for similar reasons as in your earlier post :-) BTW, If you're ever planning on passing through or near west central London, in the coming weeks and months, then please feel most welcome to PM me, if you're ever interested in meeting up for a...

Re "as the ratio of losers to winners is 90% losers to 10% winners according to most sources I am curious as to see if that is true." Don't worry about "most sources" when the FCA have confirmed that the figure of consistent retail winners is nowhere near as glum as 10%. It's people who don't...

Even better than finding a 'good broker' is to seek out one of the '1 in 5' who is consistently pulling a positive return, local to you, and then ask politely if you can sit in and watch what they do, and learn from them. I don't mean on this forum, but in your personal life - ask around. It's...
