Hello guys. Basically I've got a few questions that I've been wanting to post for a while now. Firstly I'm pretty new to trading, I've been researching it and playing around with demo accounts for a while but now is the time to get serious with it.
Firstly, has anyone got any recommendations out their as to any decent vendors targeted at the ftse100? I ask this because a few months back I came across "FTSE Day.co.uk", I had free access to the trading rooms for about a month as they posted the password on twitter and I felt like I learned a lot from it, gave me a confidence boost with me being a complete newbie, so I was going to fork out the money to pay for a membership, however having read the review thread on here I've decided against it, so as you can imagine i'm feeling a bit deflated.
Secondly, i'm currently using the FXCM spread betting platform to trade the FTSE (demo for the time being), however i'm not a fan of the spread change after hours and also they seem to change their spreads when the market becomes volatile. The only reason I am using FXCM is simply because of it's customization and the marketscope software which I love, so if anyone can recommend a better platform to spread bet the FTSE that is of some similarity with FXCM then that would be fantastic.
I have loads more questions but I don't wanna fill what is obviously an excellent thread with my newbie questions!!
Thanks guys.
