worldtrade offers 1 point spread on FT/DAX/DOW and their system is lot faster than capitals
I have a dream...
A spread may be very good, but they may well skew it in their favour, take a longer time to fill your trades, generally set prices so they can get on to the stop losses easily or again, skew them in their favour, etc...There are many ways to skin a cat, or in this case, to fleece a spreadbetter.
Has any of you experienced any the above? I trade with Finspreads and IG Index; Fins is very fond of such games...
Of course, it could be that CS are going to establish a new standard in the industry, but somehow I don't like to dream when I trade as my pocket tends to hurt horribly when I wake up...
Please, those of you who trade with CS, keep the rest of us appraised, who knows, we might be on to something here.

I have received such an e-mail, too; this makes me wonder, if their spreads are so good, how do they hedge them?lemons said:

you mean World Spreads, I know they have 1 point on FT/DAX/DOW/CAC and 4 FX pairs, but I was more pleased that another SB company (one of the main ones) has lowered ther spread to 1 point, which might encourage the others to follow.
As far as execution speed, I can't comment on either company.

They only need to hedge their overall position, which will probably be fairly balanced most of the time. WS resticts bets on 1pt spread markets to £100, probably to prevent sudden skews in their 'book'.
CAPITAL SPREADS HAVE BECOME VERY VERY UNRELIABLE,THE PLATFORM IS CONSTANTLY CRASHING,AND AMAZINGLY YOU CAN ALWAYS GET YOUR TRADE ON,BUT CLOSING IT IS A DIFFERENT THING ALL TOGETHER,TRADING IS A DIFFICULT ENOUGH PAST TIME WITHOUT A DODGY PLATFORM BE WARNED DEBI have received such an e-mail, too; this makes me wonder, if their spreads are so good, how do they hedge them?

Try out their white label operation Dealingdesk. Very reliable and fast so far.
