yes. Same charts as IG. From daily down to tick-charts, with all the standard indicators, and the ability to write custom indicators and systems if you want to.

Chartist I have printed the documents but losing more than my investment has always made me nervous. I completly see the point though. I am working on it! But thats for the Alsi what about the shares themselves. Have you got a better plan other than IdealCFD

Chartist - the 45pt spread is only for the 'cash' index, with the mandatory 15pt premium for guaranteed stops that IG insists on. The guaranteed stops are not required by Ideal, and it's possible to trade also which doesn't have the fixed 30-pt spread. So the spread comes down to between 17 and 25 pts... a lot better than 45, but not as good as DWT, Cortex etc. Fine for me for the odd ALSI trade (I'm not a day-trader). John - you only need to fill in all the forms for trading on the foreign exchanges. For local trading the paperwork is minimal and they get you set up quickly

This is probably a Microsoft Platform. Which is the reson that the site is unable to handle the load when required. Clever stuff which does not function all that well, especially when the chips are down.
