spreadbetting: pros cons and tips:     

zarif - 19 Sep 2003 17:29

can we start the ball rolling on sb firms and cfd firms giving them marks out of 10. spreads etc. also min size openings etc.
this was not my idea the suggestion was from jules and i think we should give it a try.

Jules99: Snoball: Megabucks et al:

Just read below what i came across while trawling the net.Be careful of deal4free:


Deal4Free just took 800 out of my account and won't answer the phone?!!
Hey everyone

I can't believe what happened earlier on. My account with Deal4free has dropped from 800-odd quid down to 6.81, and I didn't even have a bet open!!!

What is going on here?! Anyone else had this problem?

I phone Deal4free and they said it was a 'software problem' (after having tried about four times and having them hang up on me). Naturally I was worried that they had gone bust and were shifting the money over to Tel Aviv or something...Apparently not...But I still haven't got the money back in my account yet.

They've admitted that the amount I specified should be in there, but the action hasn't been completed yet. Dodgy or what? I didn't go furious with them, but that is highly irregular. I'm surprised nobody else has posted about this today...

Afternoon everybody:
My prediction from the crystal ball is that Dow is going to inch up and than (hopefully) with the jobless figures and farmers figures come in should take a nose dive -around 9230 would be a great weekend

hi zarif was cfd but now sb i agree with what u said but i realise theres no such thing as a perfect broker dealer sb company .i worked the fx mkts for 14 years so like u i can c both sides of argument as 4 tax free i have no intrest in paying mr brown 40% each year for my trading ideas !,but ithink we could go all all day as to why we each trade with diff sb cfd companys and as 80% of cust lose money i am happy to stay where i am sitting very nicely in the 20 % that make money'
cheers

My god did you see the dow spike up about 60-80pts at 13.30gmt _ guys be very careful today as that can eat us up in one swoop. I am down 3000 at present.

mng zarif well i feel we will be once agin in 4 a volitile week for as much as the dow charged off like a headless chicken sanity eventually prevailed and it gave back a fair bit gold shed nearl 15 bucks friday afternoon....how fickle we r and added to that the airstrikes in syria and the mounting costs of a bill a month to keep the states in iraq i feel there is a bear squeeze just around the corner so i will stay short dow eurusd gold but at 370 71 there is good support so will happily bank profits if it starts to move up and see how we get on

drivethru - 06 Oct 2003 11:06 - 57 of 69

I agree bear squeeze in the offing on the S&P /DOW any shorts hoping that late pull back on the S&P /Dow on Friday will start a follow through today, but to be honest who is hurting the most at the moment the Longs Only 6 -7 big figures off the highs or the shorts still 35-40 off the lows of last week.
Look for another push up to take out the last of the shorts.

Hello everybody:
Hope you all had a good weekend.
What are you views on the dow today???
I reckon we should see a trip southbound and have got my shorts ready and hand on the trigger.

Evening all:
Dow went south to 9504 and then inched way up to 9622 where it is getting stiff push down and hopefully for us who are shorting should see it trail down. I think it is better to scalp afew points and keep banking while the going is good as the tend following up or down and our greed which is make-up tends do be our demise.
How do you think we are going to fare tomorrow?

hello everybody:
Are we ready for our battle with the Dow today????
Philosophical start to the day today with the following lines by Sun Tzu:

THE GENERAL WHO WINS A BATTLE MAKES CALCULATIONS IN HIS TEMPLE BEFORE
THE BATTLE IS FOUGHT.
THE GENERAL WHO LOSES A BATTLE MAKES BUT A FEW CALCULATIONS BEFOREHAND.THUS
DO MANY CALCULATIONS LEAD TO VICTORY AND FEW CALCULATIONS TO DEFEAT.

Good morning to you all

Since my deal4free whinge has guest-starred on this thread:

10 days have passed since Deal4Free's systems crashed. The position data has never reappeared for me on-line, even though dealers could see it on their system. The stop on the position got hit yesterday but I only found out today when I called the dealers. I have not received the promised email explaining the transaction. Throughout support people and dealers at D4F have been evasive, inaccurate or plain rude.

In contrast I have used IG Index's on-line system for months with no problems.

Deal4free or deal4dead more like it!!
Give them a kick in the bollocks i say.

thanking u in advance

CRITCH16 - 03 Aug 2006 09:58 - 64 of 69

I was wondering if i could resurrect this thread and ask any regular spread betters who they use? Im considering IG but have read about betting 1p so you cant loose much to start with. Can anyone direct me towards the best account out the now? Im not a novice nor an expert!

WOODIE - 03 Aug 2006 10:08 - 65 of 69

critch16 thats hard to answer it all depends on what markets you want to bet on i have an account with ig and spreadex. both have there + & - points .why not try 2 to see which suits you best.
