Beware Spreadbetting Companies...
for IG Markets
5/29/2010
- Pros:
- Easy-to-use platform, Good customer support, Good transaction reporting, Web-based platform
- Cons:
- Spread widens frequently, Wide spreads, No custom indicators
- Bottom Line:
- No, I would not recommend this to a friend
- Quote:
- IG Markets provide an easy to access, and very useable platform, although I have found this tends to run quite slowly on anything other than the most up to date hardware..Please remember that when spreadbetting, you are trading against the company, and that your orders may be subject to manipulation. I have witnessed spreads widen hugely, and usually by just enough to hit your stop. The charting software has improved over time, but is still only very basic, and not really sufficient to make informed trading decisions. And be aware that their charts are based on 'derived' data, and do not necessarily represent true market events.
IGMarkets do have good customer support, and respond quickly to enquiries, both by email and telephone.
All in all, IGMarkets provide an easy way in to trading, with the promise of Tax Free gains (UK), but be aware that the purpose of a spreadbetting company is to make money - in other words, they win when you lose.

The Best Money You Can Spend...
for Online Trading Academy's Forex Trader Part 2
4/6/2010
- Pros:
- None
- Cons:
- None
- Bottom Line:
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
- Quote:
- This is the continuation of Part One of the course. This is where it gets into the real detail, and offers plenty to think about and digest. Part One needs to be completed before Part Two can be taken, but as a complete package is worth every penny of the cost. (To qualify this, I have investigated most of the available courses in the UK, and this is the only company that I would consider spending my hard earned cash with.)

Not the best...
for Delta Stock
3/13/2010
- Pros:
- None
- Cons:
- Hard to-use platform, Poor charting software
- Bottom Line:
- No, I would not recommend this to a friend
- Quote:
- I used Deltastock for a short while, but found their platform to be very non user-friendly. Ugly, and difficult to find your way around, the software worked, but there are much better platforms around. Deltastock are also the counterparty to your trades, which always makes me suspicious...
A great read and very insightful.

for Forex Ambush 2.0
2/18/2010
- Pros:
- None
- Cons:
- None
- Bottom Line:
- No, I would not recommend this to a friend
- Quote:
- Very poor customer service. I asked for a refund within the 90 day time limit, and I couldn't even get a reply from them. They recommend not using a stoploss, and to anticipate large drawdowns. The last signal they sent out was so innacurate that they have now suspended the service.
