I would say in CS defense that trades have today been taking 30-45 seconds to fill but certainly not 3 minutes. Also I have been filled at the price clicked.
If I have clicked to sell at 39 I have NEVER EVER been filled at 29 because the platform was slow. The trade has either been rejected or filled at the price clicked not at a price they choose.
If your trades are rejected at the price you choose to exit/enter that's a whole different story.
However, trying to take a balanced rational view, I have had trades rejected that could have been winners and trades rejected that could have been losers.
EG. I tried to sell FTSE at 39 and got rejected, when I checked the price it had actually moved up hard against me so was thankful that the trade had been rejected.
I think that some who spread bet feel that SB firms are out to get them. Really with rational caps on this isn't true. If you're Spread betting at a few quid a point I don't see why a SB firm are going to skew their prices to take you out, it doesn't make sense.
They might put you on Dealer referal but that again is a different story.
Anyways, SB has it's advantages and disadvantages and it does bring a smile when I read stories of how SB firms are "out to get" individuals because there £5 a point (or less) trades are winning.
If you want a really bad SB firm try world spreads !
PS...I've had a few beers not sure if this makes much sense.[/QUOT
I dont know what went wrong
the price price i clicked on was definetly not the price that was given resulting in a loss, im not a discrumpled user of capital spreads, up untill yesterday i was very happy with them
the loss resulted acrtrully by not very much and i did not have a very high stake at the time involved the diffrence was between being £10 up to being £10 down
however i have spent a lot of time of the last year testing difffrent startergies, i understand that the prices change, and i fully understand the risk involved
i spend 10 hors per day just wacthing the market and i trade only when the all 4 out of the 4 indicicators i use all sugeust a change which gives me about 60-80% success just solongs i keep tight stops on the lossers in theory i should make a profit
the problem i have is i agreed to a price and regardless how long it took the to close the deal there was no error message or indicator to say there was a problem closing it closed the deal at a diffrent price
if i was trading at a larger amount of money per unit like say £10 per point or god forbid higher, the fact is that loss would have been real bad, £100'S DOWN THE DRAIN
Lets say for example caplital spreads are not con artists, that there system is just plane unreliable, would you bet high stakes knowing that issues have been raised around the quote sytem
i understand that the price given is a qoute and that in can be rejected , which i fine with, but when a quote is given and excepted, i understand how they can change the price with out me agreeeing to it.
the trade should have been rejecteed so i could decide if to buy or sell or not
