Has a Nasty Sting
4/10
I started using CS for a year for their reasonable tight spreads and low margins.
I have no problem using their charts.
Their customer service(telephone service) could be a bit more accomondating and a little less abrupt always get the impression that they are in a rush to answer the next call.
I only spreadbet intraday the DOW,FTSE,DAX,GB/USD.
My concern is in Volatile and Fast moving markets a fill can take anything up to 50 seconds - and while this is happening the Order can not be cancelled "DEADLY" to your account if the market SPIKES or GAPS against you, there is absolutely NO WAY to add a Stop Loss or Terminate the bet while their platform is "Looking" for a fill!!
I have had two instances where a trade was also prematurely stopped and have exprienced the odd phantom Spike which then magically dissappears from the chart at the end of the day.
I also use two other well known brokers and they too have their faults!
The bottom line is TRADE ONLY YOUR SYSTEM WITH DICIPLINE and you will make money!
