I can't believe I've actually wasted time reading posts made by orionksol. I thought ramping went down with the dotcoms, but I suppose some never learn. I take it from all the hard work that has been put in trying in vein to make T2W users buy this dead cat means you are "long and wrong" of...

Those are very low margins for day trading. Does anyone use this broker and have any feedback on them?

Miki That is now what Easy2Trade were offering. The reason I did not mind the additional margin requirement when I opened the account was because I had to be sure my money was safe/segregated. After 12 months with them I am now happy that the risk management there is tight, and that they now...

Ladies and Gents I am aware that users of this board use/prefer different brokers but I wanted to bring attention to the broker I use as they have just called and offered me improved margining for my futures contracts. This is not a plug for the broker, but will hopefully give anyone else...

Helen Charles Schwab Europe has an Investment Centre in the middle of Birmingham, and there's plenty of nearby parking (NCP). The environment has market/research information machines etc, and enough space for approx 40. I don't have the telephone number anymore but the address is: Cannon...

I may well know somewhere to suggest, but how many attendees are you expecting?

Many of the traders here recommend Interactive Brokers for US business, although I haven't used them myself. There is a thread on here regarding them, take a look

Neil Easy2Trade have a demo system. I know because I've used it. Ask them for a day and it's free, but if you'd like another just ask, I did and got another free day on there. Very useful

There are a few threads on differet brokers, but what instruments do you trade? Most brokers who offer direct access specialise in certain areas or exchanges.

Steve I must say I fully agree regarding fear/greed. I remember the first time I lost when trading futures and it is something that has stayed with me since. I'd lost smaller amounts trading equities and while this didn't make me happy it never really effected me. But losing on my first...

Good points Miki. If you are an active trader with a broker the inactivity fees will not apply to you, but if it's a backup broker you want/need it is not the service for you. I know minimum activity is expected and required by many brokers these days who offer direct access trading. One...

Options. Just a note and something to think about. I used to use a 56k modem to connect to my trading platform (can't mention who for fear of striking up an arguement) which worked perfectly, then I added a charting package and started to have problems. The main one being that in fast...

Ormondroyd - You have hit the nail on the head from my point of view regarding risk and the management of. After all it is my hard earned cash, and I want to be assured that under no circumstances is it at risk (well only when I place the trade anyway). I often use OCO orders to either take my...

OCA trading !! This is not only risky for the individual who places that type of order but for all clients with the broker. We all saw the fantastic falls and rises of recent days, and I for one do not believe that subsequent orders are GUARANTEED to be removed before being filled in fast...

I agree with Naz and Miki, there are plenty of futures brokers who are just interested in you trading and have no interest in fixing prices/spreads. The best place to see them for UK trading is www.liffe.com
