Howdy folks

There’s been a few questions on the same subjects asked on a pretty regular basis so I thought I’d send the answers to you all :

Joining the S&P500 service, the choices:

1-      You can reserve your spot @£99 payable to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  via PayPal. It’s refundable as long as requested before your subscription begins. £99 covers you for 4 weeks. You can pay to a bank account as an alternative as I don’t like PayPal for several reasons but it’s up to you and what you prefer. Nicky, that deals with subscriptions and suchlike, account details are below. Her contact details are This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

NICOLA BATCHELOR

LLOYDS TSB ACCOUNT N0: 06683441

LLOYDS TSB SORT CODE: 30 - 97 - 78

SWIFT/BIC CODE: LOYDGB21104

IBAN: GB95LOYD30977806683441

2-      Join now. Same as above except you’ll be prioritised and a confirmed member. Confirmed members trades are sent out slightly earlier and the members have already had the set-up procedure and legal documentation sent to them.

3-      Continue to enjoy the free trial and then when it’s virtually over we’ll let you know. Most likely this will be towards the end of April. If the doors are not closed by then you will be most welcome to subscribe or join as soon as availability is met.

Being prepared:

1-      Trade Copier Software: Those that choose to have the SP500 trades automated to their account will need to speak to www.4xsolutions.com and request the S&P service provided by Forex Jackal {we expect this to begin early next week}. You will need to speak to them {use live chat as it’s very good} regarding the requirements in order for you to receive the S&P trades. It’s generally a painless procedure and completed in no time. Direct 4xsolutions software questions to them please, not to us, it’s their software not ours.

2-      Broker of Choice: The SP Team use www.gkfx.co.uk. We suggest that if possible you do too as then you will get exactly the same results. Using other brokers will lead to several problems if you haven’t done your homework and ensured that they are comparable to GKFX. We are not affiliated to GKFX at all by the way. If you use another Broker, Alpari for example, then as long as you understand that the spread is a lot higher than GKFX then that’s your choice.

3-      Other means of receiving the alerts: E-mail will continue and we’re still looking at the text option. It’s not that they’re not sent out soon enough, it’s that they’re not delivered quickly enough at present. We’ve tested a few services and those that have sent in their mobile numbers to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it we have them stored safely and ready for action. Cost is still £99 per 4 weeks regardless of option. Eventually Twitter, Facebook and Skype options are all there for the taking. If you have a second e-mail address, maybe a more reliable one than hotmail or G-mail etc then send it over too, if one doesn’t get through to you maybe the other will.

Those with smart-phones can set their mobiles to give you an alert when an e-mail comes from a specific setting, so This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it   could be your setting and then when I send an e-mail out you’ll get an alert. Please don’t ask us how to use your phone lol, refer to your owners handbook {unless you nicked it } or just Google the question.

4-      Trade Copier Preference: The SP500 Team preferred option will be the trade copier one as they have full control over the trade { but not your money management and risk, you pre-set that via the 4xsolutions software}. They can manage the trade at all stages and possibly take more profit or less loss etc. You just let them get on with it. Their trades are simply automated to your MT4 and if they change anything it will change at your end too. If you happen to be around you can take control of the trade at any stage and it won’t affect anything that they happen to be doing.

The SP500 Team

1-      Currently compiling an updated PDF that will cover ‘spreadsheet’ ease of use points, explaining how the results are recorded and how to interpret them. There has been some confusion that was caused by what we’ve mentioned several times, that brokers differ, sometime greatly, in the manner in which they operate their SP500 service. Hence why we recommend { but are not affiliated to} GKFX if possible as it’s the SP500 team current broker of choice that most suits their style of operation.

2-      They are also experimenting, monitoring and evaluating the possibility of using other brokers at some stage. This of course can take a considerable amount of time and so GKFX will be the one they use regarding the trade copier option.

3-      Expect an update from the team themselves over the next few days if not before.

4-      I’ve been asked too about the mention of other SP500 trades that have been on previous e-mails. Yes there will most likely be other trades at some stage but as to whether this will become another SP500 service or just for those on the trade copier is yet to be finalised. The mission at the moment is for the SP Team to continue in the same vein as they have already proven and then develop their business as they see fit as and when they’re ready. Even the alerts themselves that they provide now makes the service a very profitable and viable option.

Subscriptions, bank deposits, direct debits, waivers, and membership questions etc.

1-      Address all those above to Nicky please at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it   and she will respond to you accordingly.

2-      Do not send Nicky questions related to trading or software or 4xsolutions and so on. She won’t have a clue lol.

3-      Nicky also collects the mobile numbers if you want to receive a text alert when it’s ready to roll.

4-      Questions related to software set-up, software settings, software payment etc send to 4xsolutions if on the trade copier service

5-      Questions regarding the SP500 Trading Team, trading in general etc send to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Spread-Betting:

1-      You’d be daft not to if it’s legal in your country of residence. Find out and if it is then join GKFX or if not using the trade copier I’ve been informed that Capital Spreads offer the same deal, check them out. Alpari offer a spread-betting package too but as mentioned earlier the spread cost itself is a few pips more than GKFX and that will mount up.

2-      We’re working hard to find brokers that are comparable to GKFX and as we do we’ll let you know of course. Please do the same for us so that we build a small community that is beneficial to us all.

Text Alerts:

1-      Briefly mentioned earlier on and the problem is speed of delivery. A client mentioned that to just enter ‘ SP ALERT’ rather than all the details may be quicker as when there’s numbers involved it goes through other channels for reasons not to difficult to work out. Please do continue to send your mobile numbers {including country code} to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  and she will store them safely and ready for use when we are. Just mentioning ‘SP ALERT’ would signify that you need to check your e-mail of course. Again, trade copier membership will take these problems away.

Well, I think that’s enough for now to be getting on with, hope it helps.

There was no trade today, April 3^rd , it’s messy out there all round.

Cheers for now

Andy
