hmm, possibly over time, I see it getting more and more competitive which is nothing to fear as dynamic companies will be proactive and change/evolve hence an Idea to create a trading environment which puts the clients in the best possible position spread cost wise to a) realise a profit on the trade b) for the use of the companies excellent low cost dealing the client pays a close out spread of x % on positive trades.
c) only if this can be done (spreadbet companies here) within the current tax legislation that makes it a fair partnership ,if you like , were the close out spread is not levied too high in order not to wipe out the total tax free element.
Over hedging clients or not may still be looked at from a risk perspective on a rolling basis.
If there is or was such a culture as we make our money from creating losing clients , I can see it doing a U turn into.. we treat them very well, because we make even more money because they win .
wasnt there some annual accounts saying the year wasn't so good for a SB because the punters got lucky that year? that is what I see changing... how long... years to go.. but slowly unless the business/industry creates or makes the environment otherwise... or promotes disinformation
Joe public having spreads as tight as commercials or v. large speculators...? yes of course as tight to the bone as they can get... bums on seats, yes sir, thanks for our cut, anything else sir, naked ladies, certainly sir..
who knows, to have the vision of it , is the start of bringing it into being...
