    Hey,
    21 in a week, parents aren't sure what to get me and have a bit saved for my present plus Id have no problem adding some of my own savings but theres nothing I particularly want or need so was thinking of making some real trades.

    Ive been messing around with virtual trading games since the summer and am pretty clued into the markets at this stage in terms of following them regularly throughout the day, every day.

    If I was to muster maybe 600-800e, what kind of service could I go to that wouldn't charge an arm and a leg for commission etc, where I could trade stocks and futures (what Ive been playing with for the last 8 months) as well as the other usuals.
    Thanks

    To be brief, none. To trade futures you'd have to put up margin. Kinda the same in spread betting. In short, you don't have a clue yet.

    Why not use this thread to paper trade. Give us your trades, reasons for entry, where you exits would be (stops or winners) and we'll see how you get on then.

    Where do you think the markets are going?
