Quote from Solskjaer_20:
I have opened an account with eTrade in the uk. The cfd service they provide is ok, but it's the only one i have used. As for spread betting i've never done it, but the spreads in spread betting are way too big.
The spreads on CFDs are ok, i mean i guess you have to take into account that they offer 10x margin so they need to make money somewhere too. I'm just using this for swing/very speculative trading, i use my direct access broker for my main trading.
The cfd platform from etrade is ok, it has almost all the shares in europe for trading and a lot US ones too not just S&P 500/Nasdaq 100. Also has Oz and New Zeland and they are talking about Japan and Hong Kong being added soon too.
