I also have an account with II. They were very good prior to their merger with TDW. Execution took a nose dive subsequently, but has since improved somewhat - still nowhere near its glory days though. Rates went up too - that's why I moved a good portion of my pot out of II and into the Share Centre. And now II have taken over the Share Centre!
I don't use T20, not that brave. Imagine this share is 30 Pence a share on the 26th September 2020. I wonder how many people would do a T20 trade.
I use II (formerly TDW)...always been able to trade T20...currently have 93k SOLG on a T20 as part of my holding...
Have often sold shares (borrowed) without paying for them...helps to time your purchases sometimes...
Sorry to hear that lostagain, I hope things improve for you and all others in your position. All the best.
hi Quady, i think you may be right !
That 60,000 shares
So confident cashed 60,000 in and then spent a third of it buying back in a cfd with IG SHOULD KEEP ME GOING FOR A WHILE
I have been forced into letting a few go No wages coming in
Hi RICH3R, I think we have distressed sellers, apparently, people who have lost their jobs, or need money, because of wages cut, are accessing savings, selling shares, and if over 55 accessing their pensions early. I don't think they want too.
Well maybe Swazers, is selling to get back in at 16 pence. All the best.
well the day traders will hopefully buy in tomorrow morning
the sellers are still about - why on earth ??
I feel like selling out the moment I do that i bet they will release news

I tend to do what I call large trades, so the fee isn't important to me, it's the ability to trade quickly, and I like the Lloyds format, it's ease of use, and also how it keeps records. I also have a separate PC, with different forms of protection on it . I use it for trading only, I have never accessed another website on it. So no chance of any viruses, trojans, or any other rubbish.
steady guys, just bears testing short term support from 8th July imho
Quady, yes there are times when that phone service is vital. It wouldbe my one concern about iweb.
Thanks Rich3r - food for thought.
Haha Miagi, thank you, I would never do 8 trades a quarter, maybe 8 trades every year, but that would be a busy year. I like Lloyds because of their customer service. A few years ago, I could not access my shares via the website, so I phoned. Obviously they were very busy, but took me less then ten minutes to get through and make my trade. That means a lot to me.
L2.... yes, I had noticed that. Suspect it’s just lack of expected news on many fronts. Infuriating, as always with Solg. Sorry if that seems pessimistic.
No we aren’t, in this day of equality I guess there’s no place for “ women and children first” ?
Don't want to be a drama queen but we are sinking!!
ps, i do all of my trades online via i web, so i can't comment on their phone service. I have spoken to their customer service team only once or twice, and they seemed fine.
The £5 trade has been held since i joined many years ago, and i like it ;D
Miagi, having never used another broker, I can't compare.
But I've always found i web to be fine, albeit at high volume times, trades go to negotiated trade - (which i never ever use), but i reckon that's the same with whatever broker you use?
Thanks Earthling - yes h&L are decent but a bit pricey I think.
Rich3r - that's interesting. It's one I was researching this morning. The Trustpilot reviews are terrible though...How have you found the execution? Customer service?
hi Miagi - i use 'i web' - part of the Lloyds Bank Group, £25 one off fee to join, then £5 a trade thereafter
