Betting during times of rapid movement

[Oatcake_eater]

Does anybody have experience with a spread betting company who will fill orders in times of market volatility, I'm thinking in the seconds following a market moving announcement of some kind? The non farm on forex is the most obvious example of it but I mean anytime where a market is moving very rapidly. I don't care if they up the spread by 2 or 3 pips at that time, I just want to get my order filled!

I've tried four myself now with no great results and chatting to others they've not had much luck either.

Futuresbetting.com - direct market access with a spread-bet wrapping. You trade the currency future rather than spot, not that that makes a huge difference, unless you're watching spot support/resistance when you need to do a bit of translation. In my experience CMC are the best of the standard s/b bunch in times of fast markets.

I've never traded futures, only spot. Can someone explian the difference?

Your current s/b company will almost certainly quote at least one quarter's futures contract for your preferred currency pair as well as the spot rate, so just pull up a chart of both and see how they relate.

Well thank you most for your help.

Ironic the person who claims to be too busy has posted the longest reply.
