Hi, actually I do spreads bets as well as CFDs. In my experience, some SB brokers are much better than others.
I have also traded futures contracts (with IB) but that is less flexible in terms of trade size.
'One further question if I can distract you from le Tour pour un moment. You started this thread long before the era of commission-free trading platforms. Now that we have them does it still make sense to stick to CFDs?'
Well I can get very tight spreads on the FTSE these days, 0.4 of a point...
Hi, I trade the FTSE via CFD contracts.
I have traded stocks, commodities and indices, I generally concentrate on the FTSE there days though. I have traded the SPX and the Dow, but for me, the hours don't really suit.
