Hi. A guy I know trades in a prop firm in London and he trades exchange traded intra-contract spreads (futures), like FTSE or Crude oil, rather then working both sides in the outright contracts. I have been trying to find brokers that provide these, but to no avail. A search on google brought...

I'm not concerned about depth of market. Just a simple price ladder with bid/ask showing, and where I can drag-drop orders. It would be sooo useful..

Hi all. I am looking for a spreadbetting company that can use a platform, like Strategy Runner, with a price ladder to trade off of. I also need auto 3 target with stop order placing. Many Futures trading platforms have this but I can't cope with the large contract sizes :cool: Got any...

Hi. Has anyone traded with AD? Please post your experiences with them. They say they use both MF and Saxo as white labels. I am interested in their £5 per round trip flat fee for any amount of CFD contracts and their CFDs having no spread difference from the Futures contract. But an employee...

In the tradestation report is the Initial Margin and maint margin per contract? What is Maint margin?

Hi. I contacted FXCM (ODL changed its name) and they said: "We can do buying & selling to open, also buying and selling to close". This is also with the myBroker interface. Have you sold to open using FXCM?

Your Iron Condor seems to be too narrow. :eek: Seems like you are bound to lose money using that range. How much credit did you get from each side? I would have closed out the put position at the time of posting and gone the back-month to get a much lower price.... maybe 1230 puts... but that's...

Sorry, but can you elaborate. I buy the put and sell the call for a set price. If the stock maintains its dividend payment then it would get paid to me. If the stock falls then I am protected by the put. Why can't I collect dividends?

Retarded is a strong word to use; especially when you haven't done your own research on the possible and valid reasons.

Why can't you collect dividends?

Interested to know if you are still in the game selling naked puts, and selling calls against it if assigned?

What brokerage do you recommend for a UK citizen?
