Phil, are you sure you can put the trailing stop loss at the same time as the OCO? Or do you have to wait for the OCO to be executed and then add the trailing stop loss?

Hi Pit pony, Thanks for the info. I had confirmation from Futures Betting of exactly the same as you stated. (i.e. wait for fill, then put trailing stoploss). I want to be able to put on a strategy and then forget about it until the end of the day. The whole point is that the OCO with stoploss...

Thanks for the recommendation. But what exactly do you mean by 'manual input'?

I've been recommended IG Index who appear to do OCO and trailing stoplosses too. Let me know how you get on with GFT.

Arabian, I was willing to put money that you'd be the first to respond. :cheesy: Followed by Fib if he's still here! Great to hear from you. Yep, the same place. However I'm immersed in options not futures. Hence the strategies need translating to replicate in the Spread Betting space. I've...

Hi all, I'm looking for a spreadbetting company who will let me execute OCO spread bet orders with trailing stoplosses. (I have a day job and can't spend my day monitoring positions!) My goal is to replicate a long options strangle with a racheted profit. Any ideas? P.S. Hi all who remember...

I gave up on Stellar due to the lack of support. The original issue with TT Autospreader is that you end up with two autospreaders fighting each other and that will trigger warnings from ICE... (I was trading Oil).;)

Maxima, I believe that you can buy the CQG API which allows you to extract the data. (Normally into Excel).

I would disagree with the suggestion that the 'vast majority of investment bank grad trainees have an Oxford degree. I used to train the grad intake for a few major banks. Yes - there were a large number of them, but I would say that it was probably a reasonable cross section of the Russell...

I found a great Candlestick Analysis of the current status of the banking sector. See if you can find the pattern, I'm sure that Joe Lewis would agree with it....

I've traded at Schneiders, they are a good outfit. Great bunch of guys. However there is a large list of prop shops here Trading Arcade Index - Traderpedia Hope this is useful...

If you have trading experience I expect that they will want to speak to you separately. Contact them directly via the website and speak to someone.

Correct in most cases... however there are always exceptions. If you don't have too much of a gap in your CV (e.g. you only last 2 months) it shouldn't be an issue since you won't tell them :whistling

I agree with arabian, Northern Rock's business plan was a high risk high. I didn't see Northern Rock shareholders complaining when they made money..,
