Hi, Please note, the 20 pts bias people are talking about is on Dow cash, not Futures, though the SB co's still do bias, so lets say CMC is 0.5 spread on S&P fut, it'll bias up or down but without ever going outside. PS....if a SB co bias the S&P fut 20 pts, please let me know !!!

HI Riz, I'm very sorry to hear that :(, heard Fins have suspended internet trading or accounts to quiet a few people who are making money from them, seems like they only want losers on board, same with any SB co.

Hi, yes very appealing :). IB Slashes Commissions on the CBOT mini-sized Dow Even Further As a result of the CBOT waiving all fourth quarter exchange fees for Dow stock index products, IB's mini-sized Dow futures commissions will drop to $1.26 per contract, beginning October 1. This commission...

Hi FTSE, I found Fins harder, especs the last time when their server went down and I lost a packet. All SB co's bias the quotes, Trading Indices are worse, after all they need to do that cause of the volatility and to make sure they make money as well. Hi Ivorm, Fins...

Hi, All SB co's are the same IMO, I have complaints on them all lol but CMC has the smallest spread and their server is reliable. Don't know if it's true but at Fins I heard the minimum stake for new customers is £1 now, might as well open an account at CMC for SBing

Hi, Hmmm, its not the bias I'm upset about, its them holding the order/s when we press the trade button, the longer they hold our orders, the worse quote to get in or out of a possition we'll get ( requote/s on CMC ), I have had +ved trades turning out to be -ved ones cause of requotes.

I'll second that, trading for real on CMC is much more difficult these past few days, more and more orders are being held/requoted, oh instant fills garrantee it's going against you, well for me anyway. As for CFD on CMC, I know 2 people having the same problems as SB.

Very true, there is no good SB co's about IMO, all have their faults or tricks. I know someone trading with Fins the other day and the server went down, he tried to phone them and got the answering machine !. We all opened the acc at Fins for their internet trading service, not phone trading...

Hi, Talking to Fins is a waste of time, they have been unreliable since I joined them ( 12 months ago ), everytime I phone them up, they say it's a problem beyond their control.

Hi Mike, I agree, long live us scalpers :-)
