Startup recommendation

[goggelj]

Hi There,
Can anyone recommend systems/brokers for trading from home for:
1. Options Trading
2. Spread Trading
3. Size of Margin account needed for trading futures

Also, can anyone state whether 10K GBP is a reasonable amount to start?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I'd recommend capital spreads for your financial spread betting as they have the tightest spreads.
I also think if you're new to trading 10k is a way too much to start with, I'd recommend you to start with 500 - 1000 and as you get better you can increase your stakes.
Just a friendly advice.
