Hi Freyra,

I took up the free trial a while back, at first it was a bit confusing to understand how its all priced and also some of the features but Ronnie put me in touch with their contact who was great. He set up the trial for me with exactly what I needed and he even went through some of the features of MetaStock. He explained all the pricing and how to cancel if I didn't want to purchase the software.

I have to say that I am kind of impressed by it, the Eikon featured is awesome with all the latest current business news and fundamentals. The charting has so many tools and scans. I have taken it out on a monthly subscription basis.

I would recommend taking out the trial, you can test it out for yourself and if you don't like it just cancel.

I see that MetaStock XV is available to download for free 30 day trial. Has anyone used the new charting software? How did it go? I would like to know some positive feedback and testimonials about it.

Hi Diver,

Check out our Trading software page there are links and info on a few trading demo accounts on there including InterTrader, CMC Markets and plus500.

Thnx Lib,

I use IG for my live account so not sure they would provide a Demo as well. Plus 500 don't provide for FTSE cash, only futures:(
I'll give the others a shot:)

Hi D,

IG Markets are "ok" (remember to use "Force Open" when working with both positions of the same security).

Saxo Bank permit shorts (but I think are more restrictive)

Plus 500 was recommended by Remo a while back, they do both.

CMC Markets

Interactive Brokers

All the above offer synthetic instruments (CfDs)

Happy shorting and vice versa!

Can anyone recommend a decent demo account that you can trade long and short: got a new idea to try out. Thanks in advance
