I suppose it would be better to trade the S&P since the prices follow it slavishly at that time.
And - I don't trust D4F. When I sold last night at 8.58 at 4184 they kept me waiting till 5 seconds to 9 then offered me 4182 and cancelled the order at 9. At that point I had made about 25 points. I phoned them and told them what I thought of that trick and they let me have 4184. The rats.

I would agree better to trade s&P. at least its a real market.
but for ftse, they use an algorithm all of their own and
then only when it suits them.
Sometimes ftse will remain flat even though USA is shooting
up or down.
just dont think its worth the nervous tension unless you are trying to cover or waiting for 5 more pts.

I agree with bonsai, it's not worth the hassle trading the FTSE after hours. I had similar problems to you in the past, Agincourt, where I tried to close a position, and D4F either kept me waiting and gave me a worse quote or just changed the bid or offer price so that it would cost me - so I had to phone up to get a decent quote. They obviously dont like people trading after hours too much!

Hi Bonsai,
There is no static in you PC as the case is earthed...
However you may have lots in your body, the wrist straps simply put you to a high resistive earth to trickle any static away.
Simply touching the PC case (Earths your body via the PC case thus discharging any static) whilst inserting the card (PC plugged in but switched off) is good enough as you are unlikely to pick up any more static unless you rub your feet on a artificial fibre carpet.
