Quote from porph:
I quote, 'marketindex is an on-line CFD trading platform specially designed for the self directed active trader. The system is fully automated from market making through to hedging so pricing is fully transparent. '
Maybe our definitions are different..
porph,
Have you tried using an SB firm before moving to CFD or is Marketindex your first account?
I'm just wondering if there is a big difference between the two.
Yes, I've had an IG index account for the last few years and I've also tried a number of other SB frims.
I've got an account with barclays and also I've had a good look at my father's IB account.
Key differences between abn amro marketindex and the SB firms Ive used (IG, tradindex among others)
AA Bank vs Bookies
pays 4.5% interest vs nothing
positions taken in units/lots rather than £/point
prices reflecting actual market prices vs occasionaly very dubious prices ('Transparent pricing, fully automated trading from market making through to trade execution. ')
Market hours reflect futures markets rather than arbitrary times
They seem to win plenty of CFD broker awards so that's good enough for me. Either way I couldnt care less if they consistent of two blokes in a bangalore call centre as long as I get accurate prices and quick executions (I've never had to wait more than few seconds)

Oooh, how you managed to break exactly even though??? :eek: :eek: :eek:
I took today off again, and have been focusing on a few other business ventures.
Didnt have any reason to trade today as the nonfarms were gna fuck the dow and so oil would crash, but i wouldn't want to risk selling down oil as there is only so far it can go, especially fater last 2days fall.
So i would simply have to wait to go long, but didnt want to take risk of going long over the weekend as the asian markets could easily tank following dow and take dollar stronger and lower oil even more.
But gna check the markets now, and gna hopefully be in a good level to get in long on monday.
