Just one more supporter to go live, many thanks to you other lads...

'Ban Spread Betting, CFD, and Binary Option provider's from the UK'



My petition:

Ban all Spread Betting, CFD, and Binary Option provider's from the UK market

Spread Betting, CFD, and Binary Option provider's are manipulating the UK stock market to such an extent, that it creates very high levels of volatility within our top 250 UK listed companies.

The resulting fallout from these providers has turned what was once an optional investment strategy for private investors, into a cesspool of manipulated criminality that now controls our stock market through what are known as 'STOP-OUT' clauses.

I believe there will be quite a few T20s due to settle soon, I wonder what that will do to the SP?

[smurfy2001] 14/2/2017 16:32

I like CFDs for shares no stamp duty and l can trade the index. No worries about bed and breakfast. Plus l receive dividends on both. I don't see any reason to ban. It's a complementary tool for a seasoned investor.

Most CFD companies and SB companies have a tenuous link with the markets at best. Spread betters and CFD players are not owning real shares and not receiving real dividends. If the government was to ban CFD and spread betting the regular city boys would love it because their business would increase!

I say ban it now. It attracts mainly idiots who lose money and the sensible ones will have to bale them out somewhere down the line.

The money misdirected away from the markets reduces liquidity and a healthy secondary market of which was intended as a back-up to the primary market where funds are raised during IPOs.

Spread betting and CFD shops provide no benefit whatsoever to society. Get rid, shut them down NOW!

Play with big toys!...I can see a picture coming!...

Put a ban on freebie share options for insiders in Plc casinos...

[chiefbrody] 14/2/2017 15:11

Fine with me. What would the city boys do though. Twiddle their thumbs all day?

There is NO real money in the market these days, its all CFD and SB'ers borrowing on margin, when the stock market goes UP the brokers are simply stopping out the SHORTS, when the stock market goes down, a bit like BT.A at the moment, the brokers are simply stopping out the LONGS.

Only very long term investors make any real money in this cesspool of crooked broker manipulation, you only have to mention words like 'they should ban all CFD trading' and then judge the reaction you get from the whiz kids (broker stooges)!

Lets try it and see...

"I think the government should put a ban on all CFD and Spread Betting companies, shut them down NOW"

discuss....

The city don't make a living by betting their own money in the market. They either facilitate betting and take a cut, or bet with opm and take a cut. they are very risk averse, especially after the whizz traders like Leeson and several who have followed. When one trader wins, in general, at some stage, another trader loses. Take out a comission here and there, and that's why overall traders lose. Except all advfn traders of course, who always win.

[pierre oreilly] 14/2/2017 13:22

like horse racing, betters bet against each other, and the bookies make a living.

The market makers for things like cfds is likely your broker who facilitates the trade, and up bets are generally offset by downbets. The bets are rarely laid off in the stock market imv, only when the broker/mm has an overlarge net exposure. Just like share prices balancing when buys and sells match, so do cfd prices (generally they are close to the share price, but sometimes not). I'm not sure why you think if share prices are rising, everyone is gaining!

[minerve] 14/2/2017 13:18

Professional traders may lose on single trades but not overall. They know how to manage risk using stop-loss points. Don't try explaining it to Pierre - you will be here all year!

[diku] 14/2/2017 13:15

If overall traders were to lose then why the markets keep going up...& don't tell me they are replaced in a recycle manner....

[minerve] 14/2/2017 13:12

"You're not the first whizz trader on here"

He will not be the first loser either, will he Pierre! LOL

[leonidas] 14/2/2017 12:59

I had my loss but I am ahead of the curb and that is what count,you win some and you loose some as long as you are ahead then you are doing very well.......no offence intended..............

[pierre oreilly] 14/2/2017 12:55

No time to waist? You mean you splash out on a few big macs when you win on your trade?

You're not the first whizz trader on here. No doubt you'll disappear in a couple of weeks like most other whizz kid traders, another statistic to add to the fact that overall traders lose.

[leonidas] 14/2/2017 12:40

Yes correct but £50.000 = £8.50 x 500 = £4250.00 not bad for perhaps 5 to 10 day work.At the bank in a saving account £50.000, 5 to 10 days would probably get you few pounds,............,get real pal...............no offence indented.

[hash tag thegrimreaper] 14/2/2017 12:21

Oh that's very good LEON, you'll be making a profit of £8.50 for every one thousand pounds you plough in here, get real pal!

[leonidas] 14/2/2017 11:23

Back again at 304.30 will sell it again at 310p in view of large purchase as I did before.I trade stock for short time did well with premier oil as well as with thomas cook.No time to waist when I see profit I sell not interested in Dividend.
