Update from me: I've changed ISP to BETHERE. I was on 6 meg I'm now on 11 and the data issues have gone, very happy.

Thanks for that info, handy. I've been onto them today, worse than useless tyring to explain to them. In the end I requested a MAC code so I could switch ISP's (Be there promise never to choke traffic)

Don't!! I'm just wondering if the contention ratio changes at peak times (ie after 7pm when the casual browsing crowd come online) Maybe BT is confusing financial data for some kind of file sharing and limiting the pace. But it recognises streaming video/audio and doesn't interfere as it...

Have you tried using the mobile dongle in your office? It's a very similar problem to mine, my streaming pit audio is fine, but market data feeds get clogged up. IE my time and sales get out of sync, to a point where at the 9pm close (UK) my time and sales are reading 8:50pm and trades are...

Just reread and noticed you are with BT. I am with them also. I wonder if they are choking the feed somehow? I'm in the process of getting a second line with another ISP to see if that makes a difference.

Funny you mention this. I've had the EXACT same problem but with Tradestation. I'm in the UK (North West) After 7pm my data gets lagged and it appears as though it's clogging up, the time and sales gets delayed and goes out of sync. I've checked my speed too and there's no decrease. Oddly...

Depend on what you trade and your style. Spreadbetting may be a feasible option for you in the UK.

Gone......... there's only a few of us English gentlemen left holding the fort.

:confused:

Yep, we need a flush out.

If you are trading UK equities don't trade real shares trade CFD's. There are 2 type of CFD providers, direct access and quote driven. Direct access is the most flexible and what all the professionals use. Some brokers are GNI, IGMarkets, E-Trade, Global. They will charge you between 6-15bps...

I can put up with those downsides to keep 100% of my profits.

I use tradersaudio for S&P squawk and notice they now do a Meats broadcast. Could be useful for getting the bid/offer. http://www.tradersaudio.com/amember/signup.php CME Ag Meats Pit Broadcast ($150.00) Audio Live from the CME Live Cattle Fututres Pit. Have a listen to the most...

Thanks wareco, seems like a global issue then.

Someone sent me a link to a funny trading song a while ago. It was a song with a guy on his guitar singing about the psychology of trading. I didn't bookmark it and I can't find it on here, does anyone have it to hand? TIA

Foreign investment might just turn it sooner than you think........ 2.03 for every £1, with prices averaging $500-600k for a 1 bed apt in London and you say HOUSES are going for $200k in florida.......where do I sign? Seriously though, for investment where would YOU start buying up some...

I've just found this link http://www.taxadmin.org/FTA/rate/ind_inc.html interesting.

Thanks, the info is appreciated. I've just been looking on realtor.com to get a feel for prices and there's quite a bit about in my range EG: an ocean view condo in "DADE, Grand view palace" 2 bed for $1500 or a 3 bed house in "dade lakes by the bay cee" for $1500 There's a real sweet...

Yes that's a good point and definately a consideration. I may well still come under UK tax juristiction unless I choose to literally spend a whole year in the US, however I then need to declare my earnings to the IRS and my visa is only a residency type at the moment so I'm not sure how that...
