    The spreads platform works well, although there were numerous errors and contras put through my account which were a total nightmare. When I won a couple of big trades on a spike, London Capital Group reversed the trades - but when I lost on a spike, did they reverse the trade? - guess what? You ring up to complain and get told to go away. It's all fine and jubbly if there's no fat finger problems, but as that's always going to happen, LCG can only be trusted to work to their own best interests - and the punter is hung out to dry.

    My stop loss got hit many times by wipsaws, which only seems to happen on Capitalspread price action, and when I had winning position opened, many times I couldn't close them, then you ring, it takes ages to answer, then by the time they get to you and close the trade you lost half if not more of your profit!You've been warned!

    Good looking platform but thats it from capital spreads. I often find that the platform does not keep up with the market moves more so when the market has moved in your favour, no probs keeping up when it is going against you! Also things always seem to run smooth while you are not in any trades but the minute you are in one then all of a sudden there is probs with platform either it flickers open or closed or trade or i often get no trade made then all of a sudden minutes later there it is! I f ...

    Capital SPreads offer an easy to use platform, only some minor delays in trades being filled - usually over figure releases in the underlying market - orders and stops filled at requested levels almost 100% of the time unless slips or gaps happen which is frustrating, and you don't have to pay for the stops!Probably the best for CS is their outstanding Customer Service team who when i have contacted them are very efficient, helpfull and knowledgible and are more than happy to put things right if ...

    Capital Spreads Spread betting is a very slow platform and it seems, every time there is any question of whether the company or the client gets the benefit of the doubt from a trade, it has favoured them every time.

    I would suggest you look elsewhere for a better-value spread betting company.

    Delays in accepting and closing positions has got much worse in recent weeks. This has pretty much put a stop to quick trading encouraged by some of the the tight spreads they have such as daily FTSE 100 where the market moves fast. I will be using another account.

    As the companies point out spread betting is a high risk activity. It is essential that customers have faith in the integrity of the companies they are using and the systems that these companies use. If not customers will vote with their feet.

    I would not recommend Capital Spreads Betting to my friends. When you are spread betting you need a fast efficient platform that keeps up with the flow of the markets, be it with or against you. You need a platform that stays open even when the times get tough, when it goes to telephone only trading as often as they do you need to be able to get hold of them fast and close out your positions as fast as poss. And I do not have trouble with any other site but there's seems to freez way to often. I ...

    I must have used them quiet happily for over 6 months but these last 3 weeks at high profile announcement times where big gains are to be made they are failing to complete orders. 5 mins after last nights 19.15 announcement I was looking at £1300 gains which all came to nothing as the order was not filled. I have now closed the account pity because they were good.

    Really tight spreads, easy to use platform and very helpful Customer Support team. I've recommended them to all my trading friends.
