Hi Milnrow. HL are ok. I love the web site and the tools they give you to research etc and the watchlists I find helpful, but their IT is pretty shocking. Again today, for about 3 hours we weren't getting live prices, that happens a lot, sometimes on everything, sometimes just on some of my stocks. I only really notice when one is on the risers board, then check on my account to see the value, to find I'm still at yesterdays price. Have to go through the messing about of getting a quote. I've only once had a trading issue and they did compensate me for that. I'm not up for trying these spreadbetting ones. I'm too simple a person and I don't trust them. All my money / pension is been held in here and I know they use HSBC in the background, I need to feel as safe as can be. I've considered opening up a trading account with AJ Bell just to see if their IT is anymore reliable, I'm not sure if having 3 accounts will be a bit much to be looking at though (SIPP and F&S with HL). If they don't improve on their live feeds though soon I think I'll have to look to move, at least the trading side
