Could be 5 minute binaries... I was playing binaries a lot before. Made quite a bit of money but it's ultra stressful and the price is very volatile particularly at the end of the session.
I agree and the only issue was could this still be done 50 times a day trading indices and still make an overall profit ? Most people I know who trade indices don't take anything like 50 trades a day and it is more like 3 to 5.

That's what I did. I was playing Footies all day long. If anything, it may have been a few bets less as I remember cancelling some because the bets went the other way and they didn't get triggered. I wish I kept detailed record of my trades but I was too busy making money in between washing some dishes and going out to a shop. I've never gambled before I learnt to spreadbet. OK, odd lucky dip here and there and that's all. I just knew I'd lose but spreadbet isn't blind guess, is it?I agree and the only issue was could this still be done 50 times a day trading indices and still make an overall profit ?
(1) I just knew I'd lose but spreadbet isn't blind guess, is it?
(2) Their quotes tend to be slower so if you look at what's happening on advfn live data you can predict what's going to happen.
(2) This is exactly what will get you banned from an SB, according to the replies above. Or if not banned, moved to manual so each trade takes longer because a trader has to manually fill the order. (As I understand things.)
Having been a losing trader to a now successful trader I personally have not experienced any difference in the way I'm treated by my SB.
I am not sure if you understand what I mean.
Look at it from this viewpoint. If you were a SB company, would you let a trader do what you are proposing or would you tell them to sling their hook?
If I were a SB firm, I'd make sure that there won't be laggin quotes to cut losses in the first place. If for some reasons (e.g. technically) that's not possible, I'd include it in the spread so that the firm don't lose out.
After all, your local supermarket don't say, you can only purchase a tin of baked beans between 2pm - 2.15pm, do they? If shop is open, shop is trading.
It means "the Myth" is true. You can't make money with spreadbetting.
Because no matter how good you are with your research, chart reading etc, they won't allow you to win.
They cannot make money if you're using ADVFN to predict the movement of their prices.

SN,
What did you mean by this as it has me curious ?

If they shut me down, I'll be the first to back you up, but it hasn't happened yet.
Your post is the closest that I have seen to my own attitude. I have been spread betting for 25 years.
25 years Split, get away! You must be one of Mr. Wheeler's very first clients from the early days of IG. What did you trade back then - sports and gold?
Tim.
