Again, I'm not asking for investment advice.
FWIW I do not know the UK market. I think I picked the wrong place for this question.

You picked the wrong site!

Bob - more interested in a trading service with access to the more exotic (DJIA futures for example).
My current accounts don't offer this.
I would prefer a UK based service so I don't have to transfer cash to USA.
Most of the ones I see seem quite ropey or if I call them they're kind of "uh? What's a Dow future? "
I don't have a lot of money to invest so it needs to be cheap too.

Ciggies, booze & betting are always winners.
