No, all spread betting companies in the UK allow you to trade leverage. Another example, if you buy Barclays' shares at £10 per one pence move, your gross exposure is approx £1.6k, but all spread betting companies would require margin of 25% to be ...

They do allow you to trade with leverage, often with a huge amount of gearing. For example, if you are trading $1 a pip, the actual size of your FX trade exposure is £10k. However, you wouldn't need to have £10k cash on deposit with them.

Agreed

A polite way of saying "wtf". When I, like many retail traders, lose money it is my own fault. I do not blame the "big boys", "stop-hunters" or "slaughter machines". It's a complete fallacy that there's some sort of conspiracy out there to stop ...

I bet Steelhead will still claim to have made profits today from being on the longside. Whether someone believes the pair will go up or down is of no concern to me, after all the forum is all about opinions and challenging one's views, but it does ...

The greatest contrarian indicator!

It is a trading strategy called "not being honest on internet forums about your trading results" Steelhead can sell the strategy to you at a price.

Hahahahahahaha........ This is your best post Steelhead. Keep up the good work.

I love sourcing long term opportunities. It's such an exciting time in the markets. This deleveraging process, while painful at the moment, is throwing up some brilliant opportunities. In addition to trading FX, I trade equities, where I am buying ...

I've purchased both BP and Royal Dutch Shell for the same reasons last week. Both CEOs have indicated that dividends will be safe, even with crude trading between $50-$60 levels.

Pot, kettle, black springs to mind here. In the past you have been the biggest retro trader Steelhead. Are you talking about yourself or someone else? I am sure I read a while ago that you were no longer going to post on here. Ah well, life is full ...

Thanks for that info. I'm going to have a thorough search around, as this is free money without any risk (while they don't charge swaps and don't go bust)... My two broker accounts both charge swapss.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I thought most brokers were wise to that one? I can't find a broker who doesn't charge swap points. This was a very popular risk-free arbitrage trade about a decade ago, when you'd go short NZDJPY, for example, with a broker who doesn't charge to ...

nice thought dude! but you're calculations have gone awry, unfortunately. it would be $1,500 rebate per person, based on 200 million population

You serious in saying you actually achieve 100% pa return on your trading capital??? If so, hats off to you sir, as that's seriously impressive. I aim for 20% pa return from my trading, which covers equities, indexes, commodities and currencies.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Great post, as always is the case from you, Allserene.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

As I have said previously you are without doubt the best retro trader on this forum, seeing as you claim to have made money on the longside when cable has dropped, near vertically, 2400 pips in a month. I love the posts "i'm thinking of taking a ...

It's definitely sub-standard but I wouldn't call it fishy.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

What do you mean by fishy?? You can still trade futures on the UK indexes and your broker should make you a market in any individual FTSE100 share, albeit with wider spreads than usual. It is only a LSE that is down, which is not a complete blackout ...
