Who do I trade sterling with ?

Hope you can help.

I'm on a month's trial of a signal service that trades mostly FX and indices so set up a demo account with Saxo bank mini trader to enable me to follow the trades.

The first couple were straightforward FX trades so there was no problem but the most recent advice was to place a sell stop order March 2009 sterling. I just can't seem to find this instrument on the platform but not sure if they don't trade it or i'm not looking in the correct place.

Any help would be welcomed.

That's a future, which isn't your plain forex. Quickest solution is probably to get an account with IG Index/IG Markets (spread bet/CFD respectively), who should have you up and running within the day. Someone else may have a better idea though...

Sterling (on its own) is a future? Against what? The only Sterling I know is Short Sterling which IG have as a March 2009 future trade on LIFFE.
