worth taking a look here again in morning though, this one swings a bit so jumping back in on a down spike is always poss. good luck. take a look at deb the last trtade of the day was interesting could spike in the morn foor a quick buck.
Small fall at the end of the day guys, what do you reckon this will finish at on Friday afternoon? 100p+ or even more?
I got out as it started looking not quite so good and 10 min's after the orderbook looked great again. I should have got back in during the fall or not got out at all. That's the problem with day trading some stocks is that when it falls a few percent you are ready to bail out just incase you loose all your gains and it turns into a loss. It's a little different with keeping hold of the shares for a few days. I unfortunately needed the money, so I couldn't hold, but I wish I had been able to stay in from the start as I would have had some great profits now instead of the ones I got from day trading.
94.75 hmm could see 100 today at this rate?
Wake me up boys when it gets to 160.
should break 100p this week, only reason it hasnt already is people cashing their profits from buying after the initial panic,cant blame them as they have made good money. if this years like last then the high street may do better in the last few days as people hang on till the last minute now to force retailers into offering bargains. depends if you are day trading and need the money to put into something else youve spotted or if like me you dont mind waiting a while. good luck
Gutted that I could have got out with a bid of 89p quite easily. That would have given me a good increase in profits. Nevermind. The order book still seems quite good for this stock, but not sure if it will go further and if so, how much.
Glad I got in now with 2 lots of money. It's now gone up again. It's just over 11% gain. Spread is 4p now. Bid 85p, Ask 89p. Live prices. Hopefully the Ask will stay the same or improve and if the Ask doesn't improve, then hopefully the bid will improve to lower the spread.
Well I managed to get in this morning at 80.9p and 81.9p. Gutted I didn't get it all in one order. I probably could, but I didn't want to jump in with to much straight away. Anyway the current price has moved up and I'm in a nice little profit so far. Bid 83p, Ask 86.5p Hopefully this will go up further today, but the spread is rather huge now. 3.5p
I looked into spreadbetting and didn't really like the sound that they use the future market prices and not the real market prices making it an artificial market. I don't know if all the spreadbetters do it this way or not. I looked at it because you could also trade on the share price falls and it seems to be easier to predict a falling share price rather than a rising one.
Many thanks for that. I understand where you are coming from. I am currently checking out share dealing against spread betting,(mainly to make money on a share drop and tax free) but have read a bit about DMA(direct market access).Just reading up on this but not sure if it is a quicker way to get the price you want direct on the LSE. Do you know any more on this? Had a look at Barclays on your recommendation and looks better than Invest Direct but I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks again.
I also use Barclays Stockbrokers and can trade in real time without any waiting around. I've never had one issue yet with this stockbroker. Level 2 data is also nice especially as you can get it free if you trade a lot. Prices with this stockbroker are also cheaper than a lot of other brokers. This share may fall back now and again and then rise up. The market is so uncertain these days that I would not like to guess what it may do, but prefer to day trade in stocks like this instead. Just think if I got in near it's low today which I would have if BT didn't mess me around saying they will be up to work on my phone line. If I got in early I would have had just over 16% gain on my day's investment. Wonder what tomorrow will bring with this share. Hope it's another day of gains, but no telling as it's had a day of gains already and it was only yesterday it put out a profits warning, which isn't good.
Now how I think the "deal at best" thing works is that if you wanted 250 shares, then you will have them at 66.5p. But if you wanted 15000 shares then your order will be fulled straight away where you would end up having 250 shares at 66.5p, 250 shares at 66.75p, 1000 shares at 67p and the rest of your order will be fulled at 68p. I could be wrong, but that's how I believe it works. I have only dealt once using it so I could be wrong. All I know it may even miss out everyone and you could just have the shares from the 20,000 which is at 68p for the lot. Using the "At best" may be good to use sometimes if you think a stock will go very high quickly and you need to really get in, but I personally prefer to use the "limit buy" order or just do a straight "quote and deal". If I knew a price was going up quick and I wanted to get in then with a "limit buy" order I would always set it slightly higher than the asking price anyway just so it gives me some advantage and the broker will then hopefully full that order in time for me.
I use barclays. I've learned that it's not a good idea to use the deal at best feature. I used it once and now think it does something that makes me never want to use it again. This is how I think it works. I could be wrong, but I seen some ordinary shares (there the trades that show as "O") in the trades volume area, The current aksing price is say 66.5p and sometimes you get small trades going through at 66.5p which are O's and then sometimes you may get a larger O trade going through that may be slightly worse than the asking price which is 68p. Now why would you want to spend that if you could have got them shares for 66.5p. I think these trades may have been done with the "deal at best". Now heres the order book. __________ Number of shares - Price 250 - 66.5p 250 - 66.75p 1000 - 67p 20000 - 68p __________
I have been watching this one as it has been recommended by SW. But glad I didn't. Is it still worth buying long term? I use Barclays Stockbrokers Marketmakers. No problem with prices and can execute straight away. Email back in 30 seconds. Also, have limit orders and is not level 2.
I watch ADVFN and Invest Direct which are both live prices. My problem is when I hit the buy button I have to deal at best. The deal goes through approx 7 mins later by which time it's to late. I just wonder if this is the same with other brokers.Do you have a better dealing site I can use?
I never deal before the market opens. I always get the real prices. If you are not using level 2, then the prices that you will see on here or most other sites are always normally 15 min's delayed. That's why I use level 2 is because it gives real prices, you can see the orderbook and it makes your day trading live much easier. I can see CCT going up a little overtime, but I will definitely not be putting an order in now, I prefer to put the order in on the day of trading so that I can always try and get the days low. This stock could go up tomorrow, or it could have a drop like today and then go up, or it could just be a day where it goes down continuously. I will decide what to do tomorrow.
I use HSBC invest direct and whether I put a trade through before the market opens or at 8am it takes about 7 mins to go through by which time my profit has gone.Wanted these at 71p this morning.By 8.04 trades were going through at 77.5 so I would have been stung.Is this the same with all brokers?
Good call on this, looks like a nice little bounce happening
Not as cheap as they are now mate!
CCT is a must have, i got in at 148p but even at the price it at now seems very cheap, can see 300p very soon.
