    neil ok, good to hear from u and thank goodness u r not a spreadbettor cfds are fine, but i would only fire off electronic autoexec trades, and neither the d4f or even gni will give access to their api's the reason why their prices jump around is a) their hedging algorythms and in...

    its impossible to quantify, without knowing all the details and with the ftse at half the dow, the number of applicable points make a big difference - you cant average out wins from one against losses on the other it was good to read it - and it was good to see the importance of losses in...

    Helenqu the second that people move from sbs to futures, they will take a huge leap in the learning curve if you are breaking even, you are doing real real well, from that foundation, you just need to improve 1% and you will be on your way if you are breaking even on spreadbetting...

    i honestly dont get it you said before " have earned my keep from spreadbetting, paid the mortgage, kids fees etc using this source and cant fault it!" that means you are saying you making a good amount of money, even if it is less than 50K, must be 20K surely, so why cant you scale up...
