Interesting talking to a futures broker & discovering their spread on the Nikkei = 5pts, Hang Seng = 1pt Cheers Mark  hilarius Member Username: hilarius Post Number: 560 Registered: 04-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Wednesday, March 02, 2005 - 01:41 pm:     Good Afternoon You may find different spreads when the relevant market is open compared to when it is closed Please confirm ... but that is my impression with the FTSE at least ... and possibly it applies to others Your feedback would be interesting Hilarius I come in peace to share my thoughts and to shine my candle light on possible long term opportunities  mr01 Member Username: mr01 Post Number: 2 Registered: 03-2005 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Wednesday, March 02, 2005 - 02:20 pm:     Hilarious, Spoke to IG after posting this question, their spreads are: Hang Seng - 20 in hours, 40 out of hours Nikkei- 20 in hours, 40 out of hours FTSE- 2 in hours, 5 out of hours Today the CMC spreads were: Hang Seng - 10 in hours, 10 out of hours (curious ?) Nikkei- 20 in hours, 40 out of hours FTSE- 4 pts I'm also curious about the Nikkei, I thought it didn't open until 7pm, but the CMC spread has dropped from 40 to 20 pts by 3pm AEST. Also spoke to a futures broker who had a market spread of 5pts on the Nikkei (based on 5pt contract differences), & 1pt on the Hang Seng. If I'm going to lose 10pts each side on the Hang Seng I can't see the benefit of using CFD's other than lower margins, or am I missing something ? Anyone used CFD's for these indexes & care to comment on the spreads ?

With CMC, FTSE (UK100) spread is 2 inside of market hours, 4 outside. David
