Does anyone have an experience using this trading service? Any horror stories to avoid them etc? I've always been interested in trading stocks and speculating with CFDs etc. I'll probably only start off with relatively small trades but if i ever make any money and end up with some spare cash, i might try my hand with some bigger amounts. They offer a 'free dummy' account so i might try out a few trades on that first to see how i get on.

Or if there are any other platforms that are cheap / reliable that you have first hand experience with, please suggest!

Cheers,

Andy

Dummy account is fine to play with but they don't have all stocks it's quite limited I seem to remember.

Don't put any real cash in them though - I have heard horror stories.

Use someone reputable like Hargreaves Lansdown or a major bank.

And if you are new to it, DEFINITELY stay away from anything leveraged!
