Quote from Solskjaer_20:

I have opened an account with eTrade in the uk. The cfd service they provide is ok, but it's the only one i have used. As for spread betting i've never done it, but the spreads in spread betting are way too big.

The spreads on CFDs are ok, i mean i guess you have to take into account that they offer 10x margin so they need to make money somewhere too. I'm just using this for swing/very speculative trading, i use my direct access broker for my main trading.

The cfd platform from etrade is ok, it has almost all the shares in europe for trading and a lot US ones too not just S&P 500/Nasdaq 100. Also has Oz and New Zeland and they are talking about Japan and Hong Kong being added soon too.

Spreads in spread betting are not too big and you get the as low as 1 point for DJ.
