Oh yes that could work, I trade shares with IG at the moment, and I could just use the PRT features and not actually trade from it. That's looking like my best option. Just need to poke around PRT's packages, maybe see if there's a trial for premium or whatever. Cheers, getting somewhere here!
Interactive Brokers? https://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/Universal/Application?ft=T Whole thing is dollars and US centric. Focus seems to be US for sure. Application is definitely American focused, US banks etc. Maybe there's another IB?
Alright checking it out again, maybe was a cookie issue on my browser! I have that TWS application downloaded in paper trading mode. Doesn't show stocks like ODX on FTSE AIM though. Do they not do AIM on IB?
I don't see the stock in their list (for the 4 UK exchanges) so maybe no. Was expecting that they offered all UK stocks, but maybe not...
Maybe it has to do with this (quote from IB site): AIM securities and Fixed Interest market securities not traded on SETS or SETSqx trade on SEAQ, the LSE's non-electronically executable quotation service. Maybe they don't offer SEAQ
Yes I can trade US stocks, but I can't get a direct market quote for equities, would have to be a limit or market order. Can trade quickly in their CFD account though. Still a bit unhappy with the situation. Really isn't anything fully featured in the UK, with a modern UI and decent prices. Been at this all day again, going to take a break from it. Maybe look to some trader websites which have Level 2 and screener subscriptions.
