I use IG and mostly trade FTSE options.

i prefer phone dealing anyway mate, that way you can hear the uncertainty in the voice when you ask for a straddle

 

[gooseman]

if they want to run a product then there's no point having spreads so wide you can't/won't deal on them.....

 

[gooseman]

all depends on the model i guess GJ. "value" is only really perceived in options as the variables are quite, well varied.

if i am trading directions (and sometimes vega) then half a tick here or there isn't really going to bother me.

i do have bloomie but i also have my own sheets which will be what i am running/

If you've enough to put down a few SB firms will take you on as a private client and let you spread bet on anything... from memory ETX will let you do that with 20k.
