Hi Peter, yes I find the new restrictions make trading more complicated. For-example replicating the BPT SPY system trades - yes it can be done via spread betting but that can be hard to control because of the leverage available and the need for ultra disciplined approach. Personally I don't like SB and of I'm not sure what sort of protection is in place should the gods ever allow the markets to tank.

    Another possible solution is to trade the UCITS listed ETF's such as IUSA (iShares S & P 500) and VUSA (Vanguard S & P 500). Others exists such as EQQQ, QQQS, CNX1, RTOW, SPX5. I'm yet to find one that tracks the SPY. Best of luck.

    Sorry clarification - I'm yet to find an ETF that I can trade on US exchanges that tracks the SPY and qualifies under the new rules.
