you and your conspiracy mumbo jumbo.

if you know the product and use it properly, it works. it does exactly what it says it does, nothing more and nothing less.

the claims of deliberate platform freezes would be hilarious if they weren't born out of such putrid ignorance.

Actually my views are based on my experience of trying to trade with several different spreadbet firms and being ripped off by all of them, anyhow as I said to the original poster just open an account and find out for yourself.

I can only comment on my own experience. I have been SB'ing for 5 years now, NEVER experienced this price manipulation, NEVER had problems opening/closing trades. Never seen any of this so-called underhand tactics.

Rather than gross generalisations, if you are accussing SBs then give us specific examples of what they did.

I think most people are too quick to blame SBs for their own lack of research and understanding into what SB is and how it works.
