Now that we're all being treated like children who can't be trusted to make our own decisions. . . . .

. . . . . .does anyone know if there's any way get around the imminent ban on trading crypto assets?

I've been quite succesfully using the Crypto 10 index as I was reluctant to pile everything into a single cryptocurrency that may or may not see widespread adoption. Does anyone know if there's anyway for a UK resident now to trade these assets other than buying them directly? (I'm not eligible for "professional" status).

 


 

Oh and if anyone from the FCA ever reads this - reign in your egos and stop treating adults like children. All you ever do is make my life more difficult.

The Crypto 10 index shows a spread range between 30 to 40 points plus a margin factor of 50%!!

Are you not better trading another index? 

I hardly see the point of trading that crypto index when there are much cheaper options available. 

What makes that crypto index that interesting?

Possibly. I can't see the future. But I've had good results with that index recently, and I think it's a technology with no where to go but up over the long term.

 

I agree the margin being asked is eye-watering, but I'll take that over not being allowed to trade it at all.

I don't really understand the all out ban. Why not just regulate more. For example force people to start on demo. They have to prove profitability over a set period of time on that. If they do that they can open a live account but can only deposit a small amount e.g £5k if they make money over a period of time lift restrictions and let them do what they want. If they go to zero take them back to demo or stop them completely on that particular platform. A ban just seems like a lazy option as it costs to build a structure like this and manage it.

    • Update - I am trying to transfer the existing Polymetal shares with IG.com to Wood & Co. Has anyone tried this or are in the process? You will need a bank account with bank in EU or Revolut bank app. The form for requesting transfer is on https://polymetal.wood.com/form/individuals
    • On this same topic, please, and following the example, where would I find the contract value for the May and June contracts? (in the context that at the time of the example the shorting was April) Thank you in advance.
    • Early Morning Call: CNH down as China CPI loses ground It is becoming more and more unlikely that China will meet its government target of average consumer prices at about 3% in 2023.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 09 June 2023 09:06 Indices overview US equity markets ended the session higher, with the S&P 500 entering bull market. APAC indices mostly rose overnight. It is becoming more and more unlikely that China will meet its government target of average consumer prices at about 3% in 2023. On the contrary, the risk of deflation is a growing concern. China's consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2% year-on-year (YoY), accelerating from a 0.1% rise in April, but missing the estimate of a 0.3% increase. Food price inflation, a key driver of CPI, slowed to 1.0% year-on-year from 2.4% in the previous month. On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, food prices fell 0.7%. China's factory gate prices fell at the fastest pace in seven years. May PPI fell for an eighth consecutive month, down 4.6%. Macroeconomics The end of the week is very quiet in terms of macroeconomic data. Investors are already focussed on next week, with two big central bank meetings to come. First is the US rate decision on Wednesday. Markets are pricing in a pause from the Federal Reserve (Fed). Ahead of the Fed decision though, markets will get an update on US inflation. The consumer price index, due on Tuesday, is expected to fall to 4.7% YoY, following a 4.9% rise the previous month. The focus will be on core CPI, forecast to fall to 5.4% YoY, from 5.5% in April. Since the March headline CPI figure is below core CPI, the market fears the spread between the two indicators could be widening. On Thursday, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to raise its key interest rates by 25 basis points, and again in July before pausing for the rest of the year. This is according to a poll conducted by Reuters which indicated that economists believe inflation across the single currency economies remains sticky. After 375 basis points (bp) of hikes over the past year, economic activity across the region has slowed, with Europe's biggest economy - Germany - and the eurozone as a whole falling into a winter recession. EVs General Motors announced it will adopt Tesla's North American charging plug standard. GM electric vehicle (EV) buyers will now be able to use the Tesla Supercharger network. A similar agreement had earlier been made with Ford which means now that three of the top EV sellers in the North American market have agreed on a standard for charging hardware. It could turn out to be a major win for Tesla, which invested heavily to deploy its fast-charging stations across North America. This agreement will have significant commercial and public policy implications. The Biden administration wanted to impose a rival "combined charging system". Now the alliance between Tesla, Ford and GM seriously challenges the White House's plans.   This is here for you to catch up but if you have any ideas on markets or events you want us to relay to the TV team we’re more than happy to.
