Hello Turtle40,
Tim kindly sent the link so I've read the "leverage for spreadbetting" thread and looked at yours and Raphael's spreadsheets. This clears up any niggling doubts I had and I now intend to sign up to TB in the New Year.
Thanks for all your help.

Thank You Tim for such a speedy reply. I have looked at Sharescope before as they have a good reputation for the quality of their products. It just hadn't occured to me that it would be possible to extract the data to run in TradingBlox. This would be ideal for me as their prices are very reasonable...
