currency spike

Anybody trading the £v$ using a spread betting company?
If so did you catch that huge wave caused my news and get filled easily today?
Did anyone bet higher than £20 point?

Trade with a company that guarentees stop orders and you should be filled.

I got filled on the EUR/USD future with a 2 pip slippage

Hello johnny.

Just found from previous posts that you can trade euro v dollar futures through IB. Since i like to trade £v$ is that also possible through futures.
Am i correct in assuming that you cant trade currency futures 24 hours??

You can trade the £/$ using futures.

Outside UK and US opening hours it can be a bit illiquid.

You can trade the futures 24 hours.
