FTSE's OK via IB but other UK equity options are no place for retail. Soft Commodity options on liffe weren't offered by IB last time i checked, ICE brent should be OK. Indexwise its not compelling if you have access to DAX or SX5E, and from what i remember cac trips were quite cheap.
This is all news to me: For Yanks who don't follow what's going on in the UK: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/22/what-a-sad-little-empire-britain-has-become.html http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Artic...olicy-Cuts-Britains-Growth-in-Half.aspx#page1 http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=FXB&t=5y&l=on&z=l&q=l&c= Uh-ohh Maybe I better wait 'til next year.
I use Sucden to trade FTSE Index only ... Wingspreads, Straddles, Strangles etc ... Great service ... Phone broking only .... although looks like they are taking small steps towards some form of electronic platform Cheers James
