The gamblers I know who bought Bitcoin dumped in the £19k level and have not bought back in.

Been trading for over 16 years, initial 8 years in Prop - nothing poor about this Wotzit.

The statement in bold I have a problem with "Lovely example of scalping the volatility. Nice trade" Apparently you're supposed to be a experienced trader (again I use the word loosely here) and are championing the fact the gambler you were replying to did not use a stop loss in the most...

Who is "we"? I have never come cross a more deluded bunch of people (cult?) than current cr@pcoin holders - oh wait a minute, maybe I have in the DotCom boom, then the telecoms in the early 2000 years....

FXX Do not let people stop you from posting interesting facts - this site needs an intelligent voice for alternative opinion, to lose that would probably be the cause of many people actually believing the hype currently being spewed on this thread possibly leading to financial loss. As the...

The Government are not chasing Bitcoin, the government has/is creating it's own coin (DYOR). Banks will do the same and self create if they feel the need to have a more less user friendly clunkier system than they currently do (that works well and is more secure). But at this time I doubt very...

Time will tell, as there is absolutely no physical proof of how many electronic coins can be created, all conjecture. Not forgetting the creator is unknown and none of this market is regulated it stinks of a pyramid scheme.

Ask what value is assigned to a Bitcoin and you will not get a clear answer (if you get one at all). The Block chain is useful until the point someone can access it, then it is useless. Don't sweat it about this current gamblers sensation, if it goes to 20-30k, who cares? It's based purely on...

Does anyone know any Metatrader 4 platforms that lists the Dax index that opens at 8am UK time?

captain Yes, phone them and ask, and Steve raises an important point - ask if the bank is UK based, if not you will need to find out what's the max protection for funds. UK is £50k now. Remember this point, SBet firms are bookies disguised as stock brokers. If you have bad fills/dodgy market...

Spreadbetting firms are the equivalent to the bucket shops that sprang up in the 1920s and 30's (which were around for a few years then disappeared) never keep much money in them and first sign of trouble withdraw all funds, most like CMC employ barrow boys to handle your trades, most Sbet firms...

So now you're going to tell me not trade the futures market? You're their customer for 3+ years and don't even know their mini dow spreads? Of course I'm going to quote their first price of 2 points because that's what I will be paying at first, where's the logic in ignoring that fact? Btw I...

Read the spread card. http://www.futuresbetting.com/pdfs/futuresspreadcard.pdf From the spread card an example: These spread charges are an increase on the market spread. So if you bet on the FTSE 100, you will pay 0.5 points to enter and 0.5 points to exit. As the underlying spread is...

I can pay 3 pips roundtrip with the better brokers, with FB it's double, so unless I'm paying 50% tax (which of course it will be no where near) I will be ahead, plus I can use my losers to offset my tax bill for the following year, and will not be restricted to living in the UK (which is...

That's a hefty price to pay just to avoid tax imho. That's looking like a 6 point spread on a futures market, that's way above normal. I think I will stick to the larger companies and pay tax, it will work out cheaper, thanks for your input.
