    Spreadbetting broker recommendations

    Thanks for your response. The EU will eventually self-destruct as the controlling world cabal is currently being taken down. However, changes in financial regulations could take years to filter through. The UK could, presumably, opt-out at any time, though? ESMA's octopus-like tentacles even...

    Any Easing of the Strict 2018 ESMA Leverage Regulations Since Brexit?

    Since Brexit (31/1/2020) have the ESMA/FCA leverage regulations, as applied in the UK, been eased at all? Or any prospect of such? Since 2018, UK spreadbet firms have demanded around 10X the former deposit required for retail traders, to trade at the same size. For IG's minimum deposit of...

    The High-Flyer's Porsche Strategy

    I once read a story about a poor guy in New York challenging a young, apparently-wealthy trader getting into his Porsche parked at the kerbside. The trader, possibly in options, only took a couple of years to achieve his success. The poor guy stated that he subsequently took the hint, copied...

    Binary dot com (Bet on Markets) UP-DOWN Bets

    If you lose, it's $1, if you win it depends on the known offered odds, typically 90%, so you win 90c. They used to offer straight 1:1 odds on up/down bets but now it's less and variable. Still pretty good odds considering you have a 50-50 chance at guessing! Better if you use technical...

    Binary dot com (Bet on Markets) UP-DOWN Bets

    Binary dot com offers trial accounts to test your system first, which is more than most spread betting companies do. I'm still investigating binary, or fixed-odds bets, but betting the market to be UP or DOWN at the end of a specified period strikes me as the simplest and most-lucrative, in...

    Best Thread How To Make Money Trading The Markets.

    For their faults, I prefer to stay below the tax radar with UK spread-betting companies -- for now. $10,000 is still a fair chunk to find for those used to IG-Index-land! https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/?f=4969&ib_entity=uk

    Best Thread How To Make Money Trading The Markets.

    Sorry, not me, at least not yet. Sure, you get your tax pre-paid in the UK, but the spreads of 9-15 cents on stocks are rather punitive for Mr Stocks' style of scalping with 4c to 7c stop losses. As a direct-access trader, like Mr C, for which you need a $25,000 account, the spread is only 1...

    Naturally. However the esteemed Mr Charts uses data scanners to turn up prospective big movers on mostly Nasdaq stocks, rather than a few high-cap London shares.

    Scanners For Daytrading US Stocks

    Are there any British firms offering chart pattern recogniton analysis for Mac users? Sharescope still doesn't run on Macs. I ask because Brits have no legal recourse in case of payment, cancellation or refund disputes with US companies.

    Scanners For Daytrading US Stocks

    Why pay for Stockcharts when Tradestation provides their own, as well as chart pattern recogniton analysis?

    Scanners For Daytrading US Stocks

    How about this site for free daily filters on 16 classic chart patterns? Full service costs £180 a year. http://finviz.com/ Esignal charges more than that per month for its top package. Or am I missing something? http://www.esignal.com/ads/esignal/pricing.aspx
