Scalping FTSE 100 Cash,

[BeginnerJoe]

No they won't fiddle with your £2 bet.

 

[monkey180]

Would they start to fiddle with a 10 pound bet?

What broker would you reccommed?

 

[BeginnerJoe]

Hmmm, £10 is enough to buy a sandwich. I suppose it depends if they are hungry or if your bet is placed close to lunch time.

 

[monkey180]

So your tyring to say 10 pounds is okay?

 

[BeginnerJoe]

£10 is so, so. But I am certain they will gobble you up if you do a £100 a point bet.

 

[monkey180]

I see, what broker do you use?

 

[rawrschach]

yassus you have all of you missed the point

It's pointless to scalp on SB because the platforms are laggy, the spread is a huge disadvantage, there are annoying stop requirements etc etc not because they will 'gobble you up'

 

[rawrschach]

can't believe I'm agreeing with n_t

"you are 'talking' when you really ought to be 'listening'. You have no idea how ridiculous this post of yours is."

 

[monkey180]

Yes the spread it, would it be as wide a 5 as Black Swan suggests?

 

[monkey180]

Which post is ridiculous?

 

[rawrschach]

twas a quote

it's clear that neither of you have any experience, while your opinions may be technically valid they do not reflect the reality, is my point.

The spread can be as wide as it wants, usually wider in the real market when there are shenanigans

point is the spread, the lag, the rules will kill you if try to scalp with SB

 

[monkey180]

Would you say going for 10 points over about 20 mins scalping?

 

[monkey180]

As in 10 point profit, so 15 in total to pay for costs.

 

[rawrschach]

d'you really think it's smart to have 33% of your profit go to costs?

even trading £1 a tick the actual cost per trade not counting profit/loss would be cheaper with dma

 

[monkey180]

I see, what DMA broker would you reccomend?

 

[rawrschach]

heard good things about mirus and infinity

Only one i've used myself is thinkorswim but they're not very scalper friendly I don't think.

 

[monkey180]

Can you do the FTSE Cash on these?

 

[rawrschach]

futures

alaron had free TT demo iirc

 

[monkey180]

What is the differance between SB Futures and Cash?

 

[monkey180]

Ah, so you are saying that infintiy are good for SB the futures market, with less of this funny spread business.
