You need to be careful investorpaul, unless you are using RT market data. The charts provided by IG lag behind the ticket price by a couple of seconds (if not more).

If the market is moving fast, and you are using IG charts, you will be entering and exiting trades late.

Yer ive noticed there not 100% up to date, but it is ok for now. If I can trade to a bigger position I will look at other sources of data.

Does anyone else out there Specifically trade the UK market with CFDs?

Re: Trading CFD's

I am considering setting up a CMC market account and going long on the ASX 200, since the market has dropped over 50%. Surely it cannot drop much further so the reward now outways the risk.

What do others think of this idea?

Re: Trading CFD's

I understand your bearish views so very tight stops will need to be used, although we are hitting that magical bottom once again. We have now sat idle for over 3 months bouncing off this low on several occassions, so it would be fair to say this seems to be the bottom for now at least.

Re: Trading CFD's

The price of oil also seems to have bottomed out, would going long on oil be a wise move?
