Not sure it works quite like that.Originally posted by ThomasSoerensen View Postyes. Unless it is leveraged. If leveraged 100 times you could be asked to put in 10.000 - nothing serious.
AFAIK, they have a spread, and you bet money per point that it will go above or below that spread. So you could bet a pound a point or 100 pounds a point. They will try and set a stop loss so that if it goes down 100 points, your *deposit* in the account is 100 pounds and you're betting a pound a point, they'll stop you out when you reach zero. However, if the spread being bet against moves too quickly for them to cover it (the market 'gaps'), e.g. drops 200 points all at once, then you'll lose your deposit of 100 and you'll owe them 100 quid. Obviously if you're betting 100 pounds a point you'd be playing with a bigger deposit, and you would lose a lot more.Comment

Whores draws come to mind! Bloody rollercoaster!How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

We had an experimental automated trading system that worked like that. It randomly went short or long on entry, with a trailing stop. As long as the position was in profit it stayed in. It could make money, but it could have terrible draw downs. Nobody had the bottle to let it loose with real money.Originally posted by Money Money Money View PostI have absolutely no idea where to find that, I'm just playing Guess up or down!!!
