The problem is that if they only have a few hundred UK clients, does it outweigh the costs of opening up an office, however basic?

although the European broker WHS ( the company that GFT reccomended) is supposed to be a completely separate entity, it looks suspiciously like GFT's platform...

That explains a lot actually! My broker explained to me just last week when I called him, that they plannedto open an office in about 8 major cities over the next 6 months. It appears that the company has changed it's mind!

I've been using GFT for 3 months now and really like the trading platform. I was shocked this morning to get the following mail: "This is to advise you that we have made a business decision to cease doing business with customers in the United Kingdom after August 18, 2005. However, as a...

Thanks Toby! This is a great website for all those interested in trading...

My friend reccomends ii (Interactive Investor): http://www.iii.co.uk/cfd/?type=learn#cfdguide but they do not have a demo. Does anyone else trade CFDs, and who do you use/ is the best? Is there a demo that anyone can recommend?

It's only a few hundred bucks, so I'm hoping it stays under the radar. Thing is, if they made a misquote that blew out a stop loss, would they then entitle you to the money that you would have made when the stock moved the right way?

I typically buy $100,000 lots and the P/L's change by a few dollars after the trade is closed.

How about that! I've been burned a few times by them and never got a decent reply as to why, so this time I'm KEEPING IT! The price that I bought at was indicated on the chart by a doted line, and I was about -8 pips out of profit, when I finished surfing, I re-opened the chart and found that...
