CFD's on SHARE dealing platform

[adz]

Hello all

I have noticed there are brokers that offer CFD and SHARE dealing on the same platform that use the same quotes and charts. Am i right in thinking there won't be any funny business when trading CFD's as the broker is actualy flashing the real underlying price and price movement in front of your face. Is this what DMA is?
I have also noticed that the same CFD brokers do not have added spreads on some instruments and just charge you the normal commission. It all sounds very good indeed ,so what must be the catch in an otherwise perfect arrangement?


Thanks

Adam

Basicaly what i should have asked is the following..
If a CFD firm offers level 2 Data and entry they are a DMA broker and are all as good as each other except for the differences in their spreads and commissions. Is this correct?

Thanks

Hey Adz,

Yeah from what I can gather this is correct, I'm just looking into trading CFD's instead of spread betting as I want to trade the actual market prices....

If anyone else out there has more info please post!!!
