You might be worrying a bit too much.
I have tracked my spreadbet prices occassionally against other market makers and the prices are always within a pip or so.

The only time when you could find a larger discrepancy is on the odd occasion when there is massive volatility (the few minutes after non fram payrolls come out for example). It soon gets back to normal though.

If the spreadbet companies (or any other provider)got out of line with the general price, someone would take advantage through arbitrage.

If you have a god trading strategy, the odd pip lost through slippage etc becomes irrelevant.

Good luck

I agree with mburdge. While we on this subject, does "market" mean that the trade cannot be exercised when the market is closed? Some prices can get a bit wild after hours, resulting in stops being triggered.
I prefer suspended trading until the market opens, in the morning, although it might result in a gap on the open.

Split.

There is no after hours in forex. It is open 24 hours a day and so are all brokers. (Until about 9pm on Friday night)

Either close your trades at the end of the day, place stop/limit orders, or take tyour chances!

Or become an imsomniac and work your screen all night!

I'm talking about shares. Never been tempted by forex. Maybe I should give it a try.
