I posted on the other finspread thread, that I now use a proper US broker to daytrade the US indices. For anyone trading in a very short time frame, I cannot recommend this move too highly. Take a look at www.daytrade4less.com. This is the website of Global Futures. Excellent company, superb PATS trading interface, low minimum account size (only $2500), low margin (only $500 to trade on emini S&P contract), reasonable commission ($12 r/t). Switching to a proper broker has made a big difference to my trading. I strongly recommend the move.
Longer term traders may find that they can still make money using a spreadbetter, despite the skewed prices and big spreads, but for very short term trading, you can't beat a proper broker.

Hi everyone. Someone on here asked about client funds segregation with D4F, and how safe ure cash is. An email I got from their cus svce states

"Funds held for Spreadbet clients are held in an entirely different manner
to those of CFD clients. As a spreadbet client you are offered the full
protection of being a private client under the FSA regulations, this means
that your funds deposited with us are held in a segregated account. This
cordons your funds away from those of CMC. The account is held at
LloydsTSB. I hope this reassures you as to the safety of your funds"

But does this actually mean ure funds are insured and safe????

Cheers

errol, perhaps if you shorten your inital comment to 'move on' it might begin to make sense! ;-)

Not talking the micky I know how frustrating these things can be, I hope you get things sorted out quickly. Markets such as these don't come along every day.

[rdj20] 15/7/2002 17:51

you are obviously all masochists, I know a charming lady that can come round and whip you senseless if you require.

Just like to note that FINS repaid all my losses from this afternoon, except for £5, which I might have incurred anyway.

Great service, I think.

[cheve] 12/7/2002 16:04

errol - I doubt it because you can call them on the freephone number and close positions over the phone if the site is down. It doesnt matter how small the trade. I think people forget that you can trade over the phone!

[pegasus] 12/7/2002 15:58

Credit to them today. Customer services sorted out a problem I created, hassle free.

[plato] 12/7/2002 15:50

My experience is that Fins are fair when there's the inability to close a trade (bet!) because their site is down and you have to phone them... even if there's a delay getting through.

[errol6429] 12/7/2002 15:45

WIll FINS compensate me for losses incurred whilst site down ?

[adamh] 11/7/2002 16:20

[errol6429] 11/7/2002 15:59
