[Tryst]

A cheaper alternative is to take a look at idealing.com. They have a free delayed data (15 mins) charting package and commissions are a little cheaper than Selftrade. There is an option to get live LSE data and trade directly through the order book for a £66 per year sub. There are also options to trade US, Canadian and european stocks. They offer an ISA and SIPP account. I have never had an account with them but I have only ever heard good things about them other than they have a £60 account closure fee. It's something I would have looked into if I had just been using the investor method with perhaps the occasional trader trade but I think my next move will be to Interactive Brokers, but that's another story.

This does look interesting/cheap. Just wondering about the quality of chart software with it being so cheap. I am paying almost £60 a month with ProRealTime, so £60 a year sounds very good. We'll at least give a free trial a go.

Thanks
