I know feeling cheated doesnāt mean I was actually cheated or Iād have said that. I trust theyāre operating within the legal boundaries too. My example, so you understand the difference is a football game being called off mid game due to wind, where it couldāve easily carried on as it wasnāt that bad at all and both sides felt the same effects and other games with the same amount of wind continued, but because the manager of the losing team kicked up such a fuss about it, the officials gave in and called it off because there were still some grounds to do so, albeit it the only team using it as a complete excuse to avoid taking the defeat on the chin. So perfectly within the rules, but leaves the winning side with a feeling of being cheated.
That being said, I do appreciate all your other insightful information and think you add good value to this forum. Iām also happy enough with T212 to have not left so that says a lot. Well, not with their CFD side but the other accounts are the best free ones out there in my opinion.
I really do need to find a way to trade CFDs though. The problem is, I actually trade small amounts and feed profits into my ISA and invest accounts almost daily. I keep my CFD account below a certain value almost as an extra risk management tool. Maybe itās just time for me to use a more established broker for my CFD trading and up the ante a bit to counter the fees. I can always withdraw from there and deposit into my remaining T212 accounts. Itās just inconvenient and Iād rather not risk changing my profitable and consistent system.
Hi Dao, I appreciate your feedback and the time you have taken to put forward your argument . I kind of see your point , but the last few weeks has made me a little frustrated , and a lot more cautious. So far Trade212 appears to be a good āInvestā platform so I be sticking with them for that.
The indices are back on now so hopefully we can get back to normal. Happy trading.
Cheers
The frustration is definitely real, I was looking to enter the CFD platform soon and thatās currently on hold while I assess my potential for profits away from the popular instruments. Forex is a no go for me, so its currently pivoting on commodities, even when I practised before it was on oil and not stocks.
There is so much trickle down in the market yet all we ever see people doing is giving the platform that letās us make(or lose) our riches lots of grief. Rather than bad wind, it feels more like a lightning strike in the centre of the pitch causing all the players to want out, despite the fans in the crowd shouting for the game to continue. Humour the crowd for 1 match or humour the teams to keep them playing in the league?
Itās not a perfect service, thereās a lot of room for growth. But they actually listen and keep improving even if it means a lot of work and expense on their end. With so many people trying to step into the market, I chose to step back from it to focus on my life over chasing paper profits online. So I understand that I am not as invested in or affected by much of the recent issues. Which doesnāt appeal to many in different circumstances, I know.
I have been affected by the recent issues, no need for details. However, I understand that the changes could have not been made by choice. So, for now, I chose to pause and watch, waiting for problems to be solved and hoping for the soon return of the good service.
