Capital Spreads Spread Betting www.capitalspreads.com

I decided to use capital spreads as CMC put up its margin requirement for EURCHF. I'm not really big into Spread betting so I only placed £450. However Capital Spreads debited £15 for. Guaranteed stop fee. Absolute rip-off - never saw it at CMC! Then I had an overnight fee of around £3-£4. Again, past experience with a £1,000 at CMC saw the overnight never really exceed £1-£2 for TWICE THE AMOUNT! Again- rip-off. Overall- I has a profit of £83. How much do I actually get back? A mere £64. Absolute joke. I'm going back to CMC.

I just don't recognise the firm described in the bad reviews here. CS platform is good, service seems good though I've not really come into contact with them because there haven't been any problems. I've placed hundreds of trades, no problems at all.

I've compared price feeds and not found anything at all to comment on.

I have sat on a bet several times and found if you get off at a certain point, once you are off it would have gone in your favour, go back on and bet in direction it is moving it will instantly go aginst you big time, this you will never get back it would seem they bet against you so you cant win.Be WARNED.

they sometimes have prices which do not appear on other platforms

-presumably when they are trying to gain the competitive edge

not surprising though as they do trade against their own clients!!! so why would you want to trade with a company that has only their best interests at heart??? do yourself a favour and go elsewhere; besides that the choice

of indicators are virtually non existent - no volume information or tick volume - nothing that could be of remote use to you!!!

I have been with capital spreads for a couple of years now, and out of all the spread betting companies out there they are the best.

The platform is easy to use, reliable, and in two years I have never had a requote, unlike other Spread betting companies, you can actually log onto their platform.

They have the markets I trade, so for me there is no problem there, and their spreads are without doubt the tightest I have seen.

Customer service is excellent. All my emails were replied to within 15 minutes. Delays of a few seconds in placing trades are expected as the Internet is not immediate. If the market is moving quickly prices will be cancelled when you place your trade, but a few seconds is not going to ruin you. I never had any problems with the site crashing etc. You are trading with Capital Spreads, not on the real market so you should accept their prices and adapt your strategy likewise.I will recommend them as I never had any problems. Site is simple and very userfriendly.

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 feel this market is not regulated enough and tooooooo many companies get away with shaddy dealings!

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 they are at fault or explain otherwise.I have an IG and CMC account and both pale in comparison with CS due to the above.

Try Cap spreads for yourself. I'm not a big fish but I like the personal touch CS seems to offer to all its clients.
