So, after backtesting my scalping system and balking at just how much I'd pay in commissions I had a look at IG Markets website last night about trading CFD's for FTSE based equities rather than trading the shares themselves via a brokerage.
Surely this subject must have been covered to death on here somewhere. Any good threads lurking around that spring to mind?
Apart from the obvious upside of no CGT/Stamp, are the commissions really that much lower after you take into account charges for Stop Losses and overnight interest?
What about slippage, differences in the spread size compared to market, order execution problems, etc?
any pointers would be v.useful.
