Tradenext - a few (early) comments Having added a Tradenext spreadbetting account to my eTX one a couple of months ago, it's perhaps a bit early to comment but here are my early impressions based on limited comparison data: 1. Tradenext has better spreads and overnight costs. 2. During my...

Hi Chris, back from US and slightly lagged still so yet to restart trading. Are you still interested in the occasional get-together / sharing of resources? Regards John

OK - now is not the time for me either as I'm away for next month. However, this may be of interest to me and I will resurrect this thread on my return.

Hi, which FX course is that? If you are interested in a meeting somewhere between Newcastle and Durham (say A1M service station) I could be up for that at some stage.......... Which day(s) are you in Newcastle? John

antobiotics have worked and I'm feeling nearly human again. Do you fancy next Wed, same arrangement as previous (aborted) session? John

Thanks for that. That's a more rational approach than that of eTX. Given that we are talking about pivots based on the previous day's prices, that surely means taking Friday's data (otherwise it never gets used). However, given that the 2 hours on Sunday does have some limited relevance and...

sorry Chris I have come down with nasty bug - been in bed all today and expect same tomorrow. apologies for letting you down. Hopefully we will able to reaarange soon. John

they do provide webinars for customers. Otherwise, I've find them reasonably intuitive if a little limited after the Advanced Charts (IT-Finance) they previously provided. Had a big moan at them because they removed the facility of writing own indicators and backtests. Don't think that's going...

fixed - it's in my diary. I look forward to meeting another local trader. John PS I'm 6' 2", glasses, as bit bald on top with a beard to compensate. Drive a fairly old blue Seat Toledo.

Excellent. I'll propose a few dates and let you choose. Time of day can be around coffee time or lunch to your preference..... this week I'm free Wednesday (anytime), Thursday until 14.00, Friday (anytime) next week free Wed, Thurs, Friday. Where would you like to meet? John

2 cents! I think that's at least 10 dollar's worth. Thanks for taking the time to put some flesh on the arguments and some data to back your suppositions. It's also fascinating for me (as a relative beginner) to see what drives the majority of retail traders. Much appreciated.

We seem to be at an impasse: Truth Seeker (admittedly a "senior member" of T2W compared to my "rookie" status) is convinced of the evils of spread betting firms or at least those of eTX. Routinely ending his/her contributions with Post your bad spread bet experiences here! gives a clear...

You are spot on: surely eTX wants as many clients as possible. Even if the client is only breaking even, eTX is sitting on a considerable pile of the client's capital; if the client is active (win or lose) they gain on the spreads and they are (presumably!) pretty good at hedging, whatever the...

I know forums are good for exchanging ideas but I like to meet people and chat in the good, old-fashioned (non-electronic) way. So may I suggest a meeting over a half pint or coffee (I will be driving) either in Darlington or somewhere between Darlington and Durham (say Sedgefield). I am usually...

I did indeed pay for a course - one which has received much vilification in this forum and other places: K2A (I did the stocks course). I am happy to enlarge later on my own experiences but for now a brief summary - it's expensive BUT it's a 2 day course, you get a reasonable set of...
