I simply mean if the Dow moves by 1 point, such as 27770 up to 27771, then you will either gain or lose 1 cent from that move. And it costs about 10.40 to place that trade on 212. And on CMC it costs 139 euro to place a trade with a 10 cent per point gain or loss.
I’ve just started using a broker called CMC. They offer 10 cent per point positions. One of those costs 139 euro. But on trading212 the minimum size is 1 cent per point. Those are the ones that are about 10.40. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to see the exact price of trading212 ones...
I believe CFD’s are what I am trading right now. I’m using trading212, they have a platform for CFD’s on the Dow and Dax etc... and I think you can also do CFD’s on shares (but I don’t do that). They also have a platform for buying actual shares.
The best thing about them is you can move money...
Hi
Does anyone know of a broker that offers a minimum of 1 cent per point on indices?
I have one broker, but I would like to have a few as backup. Usually when a broker offers 0.01 it actually makes or loses 10 cent per point.
I’m not very concerned about the leverage, in fact I feel safer...
Hi
I'm looking for a broker that will allow me to buy real non-CFD shares after hours. I'm currently using Revolut, which is reasonable, because if I pay 13 euro per month, I get 0 commissions per trade. The only problem is, the charts are close to useless, and it's very frustrating seeing...
Hi
I’m fairly new to coding and especially to MQL4. I’ve tried the below code in a few different ways. What I am trying is,
Create a start price level, and if the Ask price is higher than this level, automatically create a new target level, which would be the current Ask price, plus 10 points...
Hi
I've been using Admiral Markets for a while. They have tight spreads (during the day), but at night it is fixed at 10 points for the Dow.
Reading other posts here directed me to TD365, and JAFX. They offer high leverage and the spreads seem a bit better (at least at this current time)...
Hi
Thanks, I have tried it all, I'm aware of their hedge opposites they have available, however, it's the pending order spread that I don't like. Some other platforms have a much lower spread and I'm trying to figure out which is the best to use. Not the actual commission spread though.
Thanks
Hi
I'm looking for a spread betting platforms that allows you to use a force open option which is perfect for my new strategy. I have been using ETX all along which is a great platform, but if you want to set an automatic order to either buy or sell, then you can only set it to open at a...
Just said I'd tell you, this is working nicely, the Dow just opened up now and I had it set to tell me and it's alerting me for every small percentage increase. A good start. Only thing is it would be great if the phone beeped, but it's good enough since all I need to do is take the phone out...
I took a look and noticed that the futures contract is at 23,385. And it says Dow Jones 30 Futures - Dec 17. What does that mean? I don't know anything about futures to be honest. Does that mean if it stays as it is, it is going to open at that price.
The thing is, it says that it closed...
Fantastic. I think this is just what I need. I have manually entered in a bunch of numbers each increasing by 5 points. However, I have a feeling the recurring percentage change is exactly what I want, so I'll enter in a couple of those too and see what happens tomorrow when it's back on...
Thanks DB, when you say look at what the professionals are doing, how do you do this exactly? Is it a matter of getting to know people or a form of online research?
