For those of you who have not tried Arbing before as a relatively safe way of beating the market, I would like to draw your attention to this unique method of making money:
I personally have a CFD trading account with more than one Stock Broker - this gives me the chance of getting the best odds from the market - one of the instances which this provides is when two Brokers offer different prices for the same instrument - for instance last night I noticed IGINDEX were offering 6437-6443 for the FTSE100 and CMCMARKETS 6445-6449 for the same instrument. So I grabbed the opportunity and sold the FTSE with CMCMARKETS at 6445 and bought the same instrument with IGINDEX at 6443 - this morning to my delight both sets of prices came close to each other, in fact, IGINDEX were showing better prices, so I closed both positions by buying from CMCMARKETS at 6457 [-12] and selling to IGINDEX at 6460 [+17] - hence making a profit of +5 points in aggregate. I hope you got the gist of what arbing could do.
