WAM, I'll leave the research to LTHs for now. Meanwhile, I'll drop in occasionally to check your posts on this one.
Thanks jh, I only trade on HL and probably place 5-10 trades a day on average. Shares and ETF's probably split 50/50.
I don't completely rely on their live prices for shares as I agree it's not always as accurate as it needs to be. I pay £20 per month ish for L2 on ADVFN and use the two platforms to try and get the right pricing. Amers IG plan is good if you want to do mainly shares. I like funds and ETF's especially for going short and I'm rubbish at spread betting so IG no good for shorting (for me personally)
No right answer, just working out what works best for each individual..
oh and I'm up 48% on BOO atm. I'm guessing that's what you call dumb luck.
wam, hope u ain't a stalker. Glad u here though. Your posts and predictions keep me in check from throwing in more money than I can afford. I'm overly optimistic and I like my tiny-sum punts. It was 40% profit last time around btw and one can but hope and dream at such volatile times filled with negative sentiments.
Sold out at 123 mid-June with good profit. Back in and sitting @71 avg. Will let u fellas know when I reach my target of 40-50% profit.
Noveckingood....HL is beset with issues. For the last 6 months they display wrong prices throughout the day. According to their client services manager Julia Woodrow this is OK because it is within the contract terms. AVOID if you want to trade

Panderman and Blue I have account with IG no monthly fees and each trade £3
Halifax would not allow me to trade SUK2, so I transferred my account.
I went to II at £9.99/m, but only £7.99/trade instead of £12.50/trade. So if you trade over 3 times a month, you're better off.

I used to use Nat West when pontious was a pilot, similar problems. Restrictions on too many things and not enough ETF/Fund opportunities. Those platforms are for the dabbling types not the regular/serious traders in my experience. Try it you might like it, a lot more options to hedge...
Like a bit of Halifax, but why would they state that? Never seen that before.
crikey pander are you Noah ? :o)
Try something like Hargreaves or similar, I don't think I pay for their platform. Great for individuals but not for advisors.
Halifax
which platform ?
Nov, just thought I'd have a look at RBD, received a message" we no longer allow investment in this stock". What's that all about?
no worries, good luck. I wouldn't be able to bet big enough to sleep through the night so I've kept out, regrettably.
every day a learning day though
Nov - Thanks very much and I did listened to you last time you mentioned it. Holding 347K shares in RBD. My NCYT doing great also. Just waiting for the outcome of EUA really. Few of the Mtero have joined me there too.
amers, last time i'll mention this - take a look at rbd. Right up your street and the only share I've consistently held and increased since March.
JJ real price is around 40 P, lot more pain to come, as and when the Unemployment rises. As honest investor, I would like this to go up to £2.91 or down to 40 P.
Mr Benson, I sold out of MTRO at 112p and would consider buying at 50p, but would be asking is it going to drop to 40p??? JJ
Lol JJ, I haven’t been on here for a couple of months, but still got the same non holders on here chatting. Would you buy then if it dropped to 50p?
shorts did me good, another technical bull sheet bounce - easy to trade.
smell the coffee, this isn't going north unless there is a significant news event to make it happen.
ramp as much as you like, brexit, US election, tech bubble - oh and covid
good luck if you think there will be a short term bounce..
Oh dear Mr Benson 50p is still looking likely!!! JJ
After selling couple months back. Hope for decent upside from here
