Need advice for choice of "broker"

[Kingen]

Hi,

I've been trading for a while now, and thought that I might try spread betting. Can anyone help me find a "broker", or whatever we call it in these circles. The main priorities are these.

1. Trading platform. This matters all. I find many of the spreadbetting platforms useless. I'm looking for a platform who let's me enable technical analysis to real time info. An example of a platform i HATE is the one of Capital Spreads.

2. Small spreads. Self explaining.

I will be really gratefull for som help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Kingen,

Have you tried Finspreads ?

I'm not sure but I think alot of the SB companies use the same realtime info now.

Thanks for the reply.

No, I have not. The most of the information I have about the different SB brokers is from http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/ , but I think that their reviews might be to old to be trusted.

The only reason why I mention them is the low cost per point you can bet. After their initial 8wk (I think) period you can bet at 50p per point.

or IGIndex.

Have a dig around there's loads of chat on each of the betting companys on here. Good and bad viewpoints. They are all much of a muchness if you ask me. That is until you start moving to bigger stakes then the lag gets a little longer. They hate scalpers aswell. Depends how good you get/ are. Finspreads platform is really not very good IMO and they tend to go down at major news times...

All the best
