Good morning all,
S: very briefly, my OCDO chart at 10 mins showing the fall is tracking the 3ema, stochastics not yet crossed in the oversold.
Is that what you are reading as well? Quick Y/N answer is all if you can please. Thanks.
I am using IG free demo charts at the mo, prior to opening a real account. The demo does have live data (although it’s derived by them from the stock exchange rather than an exact feed, but it does seem very accurate). The charting options I find fantastic, apart from the odd freeze that S mentioned. Got all my candles and T-lines set up well and the ease and speed of movement is great. You can pop out lists of indices, alerts, orders/limit buys, and other data instantly as well.
S: RNS on LSE are becoming too unreliable. I have this evening found 3 more not published on LSE at all today, 2 very important for shares I was thinking of trading and now not going to. I start with red dots on my LSE watchlists, then, like you, I look at the BBs first thing and get heads up from there when they’re busy, but this evening I got 2 from the other BB.
R – thanks for the Vox markets tip, will try that. I tend to write my posts on Word first and then just copy them in here when ready, avoids the refresh problem and can add to/amend if someone else has replied in the meantime. It seems to keep any special characters you copy over as well (like in mañana and © ).
V: I concur with R on the T-line, although S and L will know this better. It won’t be listed as ‘T-line’ but the videos posted by L show the 8ema as Dr Bigalow’s T-line, with a 3ema also running as a ‘guide rail’ to see if the SP has risen too far above or below the T-line. Can then also add e.g. 50 and 200 simple/daily ma to see support resistance levels on your chart.
Good morning
All: RNS alerts dodgy on LSE again today. If you missed them:
MCRO has a loan refinancing RNS, perhaps in line with previous notifications? plus final confirmation of no Divi as money to be used to pay down debt.
SNG finally issued their 2019 prelim accounts and note on home trials of their CV drug.
S: Thanks for confirming your fees, not misled as I knew you are only trading shares, it’s IGs T&Cs that are misleading with their Rio Tinto example showing a spread fee as well as a trade fee. I tried phoning them (with a few queries) but no answer so probably still busy clearing up Friday’s mess.
M: Like the water bottle idea, thank you. I see a pack of 2 litre water bottles in my kitchen every day and never made that connection. Worth a try, what could possibly go wr… note to self: put a towel down on the floor first for potential tsunami clear up :/
L: Thanks for the info and support. I’m more of a swing trader as well (a bit like Dr Bigalow but without a driveway full of classic cars) and the concepts in the videos make sense to me. It’s already saved me coming out of a couple of trades too early so just need the confidence in the buy signals now. Onward >>>
Congrats on all the good trades this morning, US futures looking good for this afternoon as well.
S: Did you find an answer on AFX rise? Maybe from RNS last Tuesday on appointing a Director of Technology? His background in betting will mean he is used to a high volume of transactions and margin/hedging/offsetting etc. Not sure it warranted that big an SP rise though (although the big fall seemed overcooked as well IMO – mostly a big spread/price steps with this one, seems to be lots of shares in sticky hands). SP was starting to look interesting again after wobbling down a bit on no recent news. Still to advise date for re-scheduled AGM (II are stating that it will be this Wednesday but can’t see that anywhere else) which may be next opportunity to give comfort to investors perhaps still uncertain on their recovery potential from that event.
Good evening all
T: I had a quick look at foam rollers, lots of options but I will avoid the ones with names like Extreme and FitBeast. They are bigger than I imagined, had a paint roller type of thing in mind. I’m considering both types as I also have trigger points to release in my hamstring and the tennis/golf ball trick isn’t quite getting them. Thanks for the suggestion.
L: Thank you for posting the info on T-line over the last few weeks. I have recently started to use it with some dummy trades to test my understanding and it’s going well. My personal Corry T-line indicates that it’s now time to trust my instincts and buy in to the concept properly with live trades.
S: May I ask, on IG do you pay a market spread fee of 0.5p per share as well as your £3 commission? Their examples suggest that this may be payable but I have not seen it with any other platform and I wonder if it is just another of their CFD examples crossed over to the wrong place?
A: My current target is survival, but if the tigers (MMs) don’t get me then I’m hoping to reach a point from next year where I only have to work through the summer months and trade enough to cover my income needs through the winter.

Best wishes for all your research this weekend; hope you enjoy some sunshine as well.
I’m about to open a short position on my whisky futures.
Noticed the time stamp out a few days ago but not seen any chat on other BBs about it. I do wonder if it’s a system error that could also explain why the RNS alerts aren’t working too well on LSE, particularly the 7.00am releases.
Post counts change on a daily basis I think.
I was wrong, US closed Monday for Memorial Day, HK is open.
M: I don’t do much day trading so wouldn’t suggest anything to you, but I would echo S’ caution from earlier about the 3 day w/e and considering what you would be happy holding that long if prices slide later today.
US about to open and futures just turned positive from negative earlier, but Honk Kong took a battering today after China situation - 3 days of potential turmoil can do a lot to Tuesday open prices and I think HK and US markets are both open Monday? Just a caution, don’t mean to be gloomy.
S: Yes, completely human thank you, and I have emailed the evidence to Google so it can stop with its hypocritical are you a robot questions!
That pesky 200 ema does seem to have it’s boot on the neck of FEVR though.
But when it blows, it’s gonna, erm, rocke…
Nope, just can’t ramp this one like a pro ;)
S: you may still get your FEVR spike.
And did I buy back in at 1780 when the chart indicated? Don’t be silly, that would require intelligence! Grrr
Just my perched. Big mistook yesterday, sold my smaller tranche for a small loss expecting fall, didn't have my act together to buy back this morning!!!
Divi was 9.88p, c0.6%.
Good morning all, welcome M
S: are you still holding FEVR after the ex-div? Looking lively again for a possible push above 18 if you need/want to sell. Daily has 200 ema as resistance but if it breaks then mid 18s?
R: I don’t know SMWH that well, although I thought they had wider business problems with low retail margins/falling newspaper sales/poor customer perception etc., but looking now I see their SP was motoring on up last year so my recollection may be from some time ago and I’ve not looked at recent results. Nice bounce off 800 last Friday, looks like that may have been a target price for shorters and wouldn’t be surprised if they have another go while still uncertainty around, although may be short term return to 11/12 before that happens, hard to call? As you say, possibly one for long term once direction of lockdown better known, but any shift towards more permanent home working may impact on footfall?
Just to add to T’s comment - although your assets should be protected and recoverable any administration/liquidation would take some time to process so you may be locked out of your shares for a while, maybe on a phased release basis, plus you could be liable for some of the costs relating to that process (although maybe they count as recoverable losses under the FSCS scheme?). I’m not sure if any loss incurred from an SP fall while locked out would be covered?
IG have a good summary of their protocol here:
https://www.ig.com/uk/client-funds
other platforms should have similar, and if regulated by the FCA they will have.
Charts on the demo working fine for me, anything you need?
And I’m now realising that the June futures expired at a decent level on Tuesday when I was layed up, thought it was today. I really have lost 2 days this week!
S: yeah, tankers being hired up at inflated prices just to store the stuff rather than cut production. It’s all gone mad. June futures holding up though, my recovery shares doing better, for now.
