Well I've not tried them. I looked at CFDs on igmarkets some time ago, but I think I concluded that the financing charges made them more expensive in comparison to sbets for longer term holds.neil said:I take it thats a NO then? :cheesy:

There's a new check box that allows you to aggregates your open positions if you have mutiple positions of the same stock and period. Works quite nicely.
Anybody noticed anything else of interest?
For me this has changed for the worse. I have a controlled risk account and showing the mid price was good as CR bets close at the mid price. So I could accurately see my profit/loss and proximity to stop loss.hobby said:Yes, a simple thing but it makes trading just that little bit easier - esp when you have a few positions open - the P/L field in the lower window is now your actual true running profit and loss as opposed to being based on the mid price of your trade (which was close, but not the true P/L figure).
Coincidentally said:No surprised -- I haven't had a reply to three mails and a letter sent weeks ago. Just withdraw your money and close the account.

I couldnt agree more.. Im assembling a lawsuit against them to claim back my losses because of exactly this con in that the markets traded are not the real market and the descriptions provided do not do enough to clarify this fact.
Also be aware that CFDs are in essence very very similar in that they are ALL fake. The company offering you a CFD is simpoly using a FORMAT to provide you a n unreal market that has the best parts cliped out so they make money not only on the spread and the trade fees but also on the difference between the underlying and the fake values they give you.
I wont take this lying down at all... they took 1.5 months to clarify my questions about the markets... after i lost the stake because of being stopped out unexpectedly or thier data graphs not reflecting true market values or volatility properly..
do yourselves a favour.. stop breadbetting and take your trading seriously, trade mechanically if you have time or otherwise swing trade using a proper broker and worden charts in real markets not fake markets .. would you bet on a doped horse? then why spread bet or use CFDs? wake up people..

I wish you the best of luck in your battle with IG, but you should be aware that you will have to be much more precise, and your argument much more cogent, that your posts on T2Win imply. Otherwise IG will "eat you for breakfast", figuratively speaking.
Paulds11 vs. IG Index...
Keep us posted

IG Index make it perfectly clear that their prices are INDICATIVE of the underlying market. They can offer you whatever prices they like. It is up to the client whether or not to accept them.
They are bookies.......pure and simple
