I've just got an email from ADVFN with the following link.

May be of interest to those contemplating trading CFDs via a SB using LII.

http://www.igmarkets.com/content/l2_index.html

I haven't used it or signed up for it yet, but I will, just to have a look.

Appreciate anyone else's comments on how it rates. Just the platform, not IG!

Update: Saturday Jan-31 11:00 - IG phoned me yesterday and said I have to open a CFD account before I can use the demo...

Just thought you should know.

I think you're getting a little confused? CFD's & SB are both methods of booking a trade. You can not mix . A trade is either a SB OR a CFD.

Never-the-less, I've been using IG's L2 for a few months now, and it's reliable, robust - perhaps not quite as good as GNI's Touch, but having the facility to move money where it's needed between SBing account and CFD account more than makes up for this. ( IMHO!!)
 
Good day.
I too have been made the same free offer, but I do not know what CFD trading is.

As I'm on this thread could you please give me a quick explanation please

City Trader

I think what Bramble means is you can trade CFD's with a spreadbetting company, like CMC

2 sides of the same firm

I guess so. At least I hope that's what he means!

Wayno
 
That is what I mean.

Snip from original post - "May be of interest to those contemplating trading CFDs via a SB ..."

An SB such as IG, City, Finspreads etc

What did you think I meant?
