dcarrigan said:2. All other SB companies have the option to refer clients. Remember we are a spread betting company and as much as traders dislike this fact, we do have the right to refer clients that we believe are systems trading and not trading the real market prices. FXsour grapes - we have many traders that have been in the SB scene for ages. We do not knock back winners
is the above your style of trading they dont like?
or is it the winning..
You are a bookmaker, you make the price, and of course you are entitled to do that. You are not alone in scamming your clients through dis-ingenious advertising and the like (please see my thread about Fins- When is a trade not a trade). The whole s/s marketing angle is frankly a disgrace.
What in your quote above do you mean by 'systems trading'? You mean someone back-to backing you into the underlying because you mis-quoted and they were sharp enough to spot it? Or something else?
I have stood as a market maker in oil markets for many years in my previous incarnations...sometimes I got it wrong, I mis-priced - **** happens...and guess what? I had to eat it. Take the loss, and get on with it.
You cannot have your cake and eat it the way you want my friend. Refer to my earlier posts in this thread...your target market is not traders, I mean TRADERS - it is the beginner, the (no) hopers and the wishers. You have zippo experience , and you are bound to come across those with more - accept the fact.
Liven up- get on the pace, smell the coffee, and stop ripping off your clients...you carry on this way and you deserve reporting methinks
