I am interested in Just trading Indices ( NOT fx)..... I have a few brokers, but looking always to improve, especially as I want to scalp so execution /spread are
important.

Any ideas? Thanks in Advance

Hi Almotor

check out this page https://www.fxstreet.com/brokers

you can check for each brokers page for there products, most of them offer to trade indices.
Thanks for that....... I am more interested in people's experience mainly regarding execution and spreads. I am not new to this field, since I started in 1999 and
have accounts with quite a few.

Thanks anyway

-If you find a good one let us know.

I would love to find a CFD broker offering spreads during cash hours of respective stock markets:

With a commission

S&P500 - 0.25 point
DOW30 - 1 point
DAX30 - 0.5 point
Nikkei225 - 5 points
Astralia200 - 1 point

Without a commission a bit wider is acceptable.
Well sir, looks like you're playing checkers at a chess match.
For indices, I suggest you Oanda, this is the one I used before, cannot use now because they closed the business here.
Forex, my love!

Yes, I think it is going to be impossible to find that. U get that in Furutres, but obviously u pay comms, fees, etc...... I basically want this for scalping, so crucial
to find tight spreads.... Anyway, lets s ee

Turnkey forex is a good one. Spreads and commissions are low on indices.
On ETORO there is Indicies and there are stocks or ETFs that everyone can choose from. or TradeViewlatam is also Indicies

Looking for something offers good spreads within US30,HK50,XAUUSD,TSLA,BTCUSD etc.

Making an in-depth research on this issue,will inform the people here soon.

The good ones I could spot are ICMarkets,FPMarkets,Tickmill.

FXOpen also offers nice,but don't know much about them so,yeah.

Global Prime also offers tight spreads during liquid hours.

My ranking judging on the spreads plus markets offered would be like this:

1.Global Prime, decent spreads on the indices + decent spread on the XAUUSD. Offers Crypto and ton of Commodities as well.
2.FPMarkets, decent spreads on the indices + good spread on the XAUUSD. Offers Crypto and EU,US,UK CFD's such as: Microsoft,Nvidia,Shell,BMW etc.
3.Tickmill, good spreads on the indices + decent spread on the XAUUSD.
Update: TradeDirect365 also offers decent fixed spread solutions for trading indices.

I used to have an account with Global long time ago

Currently have IC, FP markets, I knw about TD365 as well....... I used to be able to t=rade the US30 for 1 pt spread through a spreadbettor in UK, but no more...

I think the lowest I have seen on US30 is 1.5 pts

Why don't you trade with them anymore may I ask?
Global Prime has a spread of 1.5 pts on the NY liquidity,also NASDAQ only 0.8 pts spread with the GP.
TD365 claims to have a fixed spread of 1 pts on the NY liquidity,but it widens during other sessions ofc.
TD365's fixed spread of 0.4 pts on the XAUUSD is not suitable to me so i'll have to pass on that as well.
IC is too wide,I pass.
FP Markets is somewhat competitive as well.
FusionMarkets is another one I could spot.
Decent spreads and great feedback on the net..

That was early 2000s....... then I left it and closed the account a few years ago, otherwise no other reason
U say TD365 is 1 pt ? Is that on MT4 or other platform ?

Yes, IC spreads are not best/ but I will look at TD365

Thanks
