I thought that some people might find this interesting. Accendo markets are offering a free trail of their service. http://www.accendomarkets.com/freetrials.php

Dooooooooooooooonut

Because high leverage is a great idea for the typical reader of this forum, of course... :rotfl:

The link for Accendo justs appears to be for their mailing service.

www.iii.co.uk offer a free working demo platform with live prices and credit your 'virtual' account with £10000, I've had mine for just over a week and managed to lose around £2000 on some pretty reckless punts which I would not have dreamed of doing with real money. I am up though on some smaller conventional punts such as FTSE 100/ Oil.
iii as do one or two others(Hoodless Brennan) offer £100 if you sign up for an account.

Thanks I was not aware of all of this. I found the stuff and I thought someone may find it useful.

Instead of just a normal spread, they offer to show the actual bids and offers and let you place them also

See yahoo show it here, but not for uk shares:

Theres a few of them that offer DMA (e.g. IG Markets). I don't think its recommended for people starting out with CFD trading though.
