Good morning!

Morning. Most things blue this morning. Hurrah

Afternoon all!!

Evening all.

I'd appreciate some advice.

I'm seriously thinking about day-trading for a living again. So much so I've been playing with some real money on and off over the last couple of weeks. It's been about 10 years since I last did this for a living and things have changed a bit.

So...

Will I find any help/company in the Trader's room?
Are you all using CMC for this? (I only day-trade equities not indices) because I see their 10 basis points is based on LSE prices not the sum of all the exchanges. I note on top of the spread they also have some skew from time to time which is fairly annoying. I could go direct access but the minimum effective bet size would annoy me as there's something nice about being able to open or close in small amounts. (Imagine - I kind of like that price but I might do better, I'm not really sure but I really should do something so I'll just close 20% of my position and see what happens).

Thanks
