HI,   well i think the  pound  starts trading against the  euro  on  01 01
99  and  is widely  expected (for the pound to appreciate against it)
apparantly. 	

 should be interesting,,,
					

MARKET EYE DATA:   can anyone  vouch for the reliabiltiy of maket eye
realtime data, for e     futures and  options here in the  u.k. ?  and has
anyone  uesed their chartist software..? 


Does anyone else here trade  using  I.G. CITY INDEX ?   if so  need some
feedback on  fill times, and the spreads they offer, im  primarily
focusing on the  ftse 100  daily  bet, where they offer a  point  spread of  
6  points... , no commission, and no  tax,  that seems o.k.  all bets
closed end of day,  (if held that long) so in effect  the spread drops to 3
 points only,closing bets settled at cash price, (middle of spread)  and
you can control the risk by  ranging  pound value per point from £3 to £
250 (i think) per index point (mini contracts more or less on any markets i
believe)
can anyone point out the disadvantages..  

			J.s.d
