The spread is something I do remember. It's terrible! For a lot of the day it's around a full 1.00 point. Though it narrowed to around 0.35 at times. Eurex don't really look like they can be bothered with this product and it isn't dynamic. i.e. you can't see the market depth. I...

Afraid I don't know margin requirements. Though I should. Can't even remember the tick value at this point in time!

Hi, I'm trying to get historical data for FTSE 100 shares. I've been using Yahoo but some of the figures are wrong. For example, it claims that on 28th October 1987 Barclays closed at 37579.7. That is obviously wrong. Does anyone know of any free websites I could use to fill in the...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can do a search on UK stocks by broker rating? I'm interesting in doing some contrarian trading and may try buying a few stocks with strong sell recommendations. I've tried Yahoo but they only allow me to search for US stocks. Thanks, Mauzj.

Thank you all for the help! I can now start testing my ideas on non equity products! Mauzj.

I'm looking for some free historical Bond data (e.g. Bobl, Bond, Bund...) to run some tests on. Does anyone know where I can get hold of this? Places like Yahoo only seem to give out stock data. Thanks, Mauzj.

Was there a fundamental reason for this or were they just trying to get some action before going home?

Does anyone know what caused so many of the index futures to plummet just before the close today? Thanks, Mauzj.

Hi rwk, It's interesting that you mentioned Horse Racing. A friend of mine was interested in buying a system (Proven Betting Systems from Fleet Street Publications Ltd) for £57 and seeing as I've had some luck with the ponies lately I decided to reinvest my profits and went splits with him...

rwk, How does Black Jack help trading? From what I've learned of it it's very hard to find an edge that can be expoited (successful card counters get banned and Shufflemasters remove their edge anyway), and if this is correct then players are just gambling and expected to lose in the long...

Hi, I'd like to trade the FTSE 250, starting with an equity capital of about £2000. THe only places I can find are spreadbetting firms which have spreads in excess of 20 points. Are there any cheaper places to trade the FTSE 250? Thanks, Mauzj.

Hey, I'm trying to collect some trading phrases to give me something to say when I win or lose. So far I have: - I'm long and wrong! - When in trouble double! - Get in there! - Back of the net! Does anyone else have any quality phrases that I could use? Thanks, Mauzj.

Hi Tom, Thanks for replying. How is the exam changing next year? Jon.

Hi all, Thanks for replying so quickly. I need to do the exam before I can start trading on Eurex. It appears to be a requirement of the exchange. Sam - the URL for the course is http://www.eurexchange.com/marketaccess/membership/qualifications.html Regards, Jon.

Hi, I'm studying for the Eurex Trader Examamination, and a lot of the study materials refer to the "Eurex Products" brochure. I've searched all over the Eurex site and and net, but can't seem to be able to find out where to get it from. Does anyone here know where I can get the brochure...
