UK options

[RPEX]

Quote from Windlesham1:

Not one reply-I am so sick of lame UK 'traders' Surely there are some out there? Or are they all bickering among themselves imagining forex trading will make them rich?

FTSE's OK via IB but other UK equity options are no place for retail. Soft Commodity options on liffe weren't offered by IB last time i checked, ICE brent should be OK. Indexwise its not compelling if you have access to DAX or SX5E, and from what i remember cac trips were quite cheap.

Sucden

I use Sucden to trade FTSE Index only ... Wingspreads, Straddles, Strangles etc ...

Great service ... Phone broking only .... although looks like they are taking small steps towards some form of electronic platform
