I guess each site (LSE, ADVFN, HL, etc) may set their own parameters as to how a reported trade is shown (red/blue), and may not all be unfiorm across the different sites, although not something I have really looked into.

Interesting comment about the spread and how this could be used to 'influence' how a trade may be shown.

As well as these worked trades, (traded throughout the day and reported as an average at the end of day, MM's are also permitted to 'defer' the reporting of certain trades (usually due to size, I beleive), and can delay the reporting of any trade by one of the following timeframes: 60 minutes, 120 minutes, end of trading day, or the end of the next trading day.

They still need to report the correct date and time of execution, but this explains why there are often large trades reported the next day too.

As I posted on another board recently, I am not that concerned about the reported trade direction other than for material, large trades though, due to these uncertainties, it is the trading volume that is a more useful indicator for me.

I came across this searching for news on another share.
Nothing ANGS specific, but it does mention how the South West is 'a goldmine of geothermal resources'.
This ties in with the recent presentation and area under scope for any future project.

Levs,
All trades are only ever reported to the market as just that though, a trade. Nothing more.

The direction is never disclosed to the market, so sites like this have to use an algo/best efforts basis to try to determine the direction from what info is disclosed (trade price vs bid/ask at the time), and this 'discrepancy' is a regular topic on every AIM board.
It is an indicator only, a (not so useful) guide that adds little, imo.
There are no MM games involved (if you discount the deferred trade reporting) like posters will often suggest.

Other than any material, large trades, this is not that important to me, it is more the daily volumes that will have any impact on moving the SP in any case, alongside all the other factors (direct or indirect news, general markets, sentiment, etc)

Touche, Segedunum.
Point taken.
I have been here long enough to know the regular posters here, what they contribute and whose views are of importance to me.
Dw now filtered.

In the time I have been here, this board, like most popular AIM boards, has deteriorated from an informative collective, to general moaning about daily SP moves, talk of MM 'games', and chat about lack of news/comms, all points that I disagree with.

Like other boards, I will now restrict my comments here to official news (RNS), and any topics, or queries that I feel I can add some useful comments on.
Good weekend all

nom,
You seem endlessly negative, cynical and sarcastic on more than one board, much like Mirasol, GKB and a few others.
Your most recent page of posts is 'interesting' in this regard.
Always interested in alternative views, but filtered now, as you offer very little of substance on any board where you post

Dw,
Your daily posts about 'MM manipulation' are becoming extremely boring now.
There is no such thing.
Just because the markets do not move how you want them to (i.e moving upwards every day without fail), it does not mean that dark forces are at play, just like if we do not get daily RNS from the company then they are not meeting their shareholder obligations.
If the markets move how everyone expects, then we would all be winners, millionaires.
Please give it a rest as you are becoming worse than 'yellow' on here with the constant negative view on everything.
Hovering over the filter button with you now, sadly.
Not averse to alternative views, but constant whinging about everything is not worth reading.

Good weekend all

I have a lot of green posts from yesterday, but I see mention of a large sell.
Is this the 24.6m trade for circa £185k?

highroller posted that it could have been traded up to 11 days ago, but must it must have been traded yesterday as that is the time stamp reported on the trade.

Although MM's can delay the reporting of trades, they cannot change the detail of the trade, i.e. show it as executed on a different day, price, time, etc, so the trade date and time stamp are correct for this trade which was only reported somewhere between 15 minutes and 1.5 hours after execution looking at the 2 reported trades either side (it fits with the 60 minute time requirement noted below).
I believe that the maximum deferral that MM's can apply to any trade report is one of the following: 60 minutes,
120 minutes, end of trading day or the end of the next trading day - so the 11 days mentioned is incorrect imo.

I am not aware of any additional changes to these trade reporting requirements since their implementation under MiFID II, but happy to see any updated references to delayed trade reporting, if there has been any material change recently.

Earth-shattering tips there, hagd. 4 clear favourites.
It's a good strategy, bet on the big favourite for a better chance of winning.
It might just catch on.
From memory though, favourites don't generally have the best of fortunes at Cheltenham, but good luck anyway

I am also with First Direct and trade through HSBC.
Dealing costs are decent for online dealing, as noted by itsawrap, and there is a £10.50 quarterly fee too
Basic platform for online (I am looking to move as they do not offer funds, and limit ordrs are 'fill or kill' so can be a pain).
I often have to phone for AIM orders due to the decimals/penny shares issue, and often cannot raise orders for the full amount of available cash in my ISA)..
The customer serivce is great and they are ok with doing a telephone order most of the time, esepcially if they see I have tried to raise an order online, BUT, they do/would normally charge for telephone orders - I think it might be as much as £24 a trade (can't see it in their T&C's) - so I would check this out first

Sounds good, if true.
Pretty decent volumes over the last 3 trading days compared to the previous couple of weeks, and good volume already today.
Have called the bottom here wrong several times since the initial drop back below 2.50, so won't try and second guess any short term moves any more.
Holding for the long term regardless.

Rix,
It depends on the type of any deal, but yes, you would receive the share value.
It could be all cash, a mix of cash and shares (in buying company), or all shares in the buying company.

Whatever any action may be, the value of your existing deal will remain in the ISA, the only potential issue, I beleive, could be your provider and whether they allow you to hold non-UK shares (for example) in your ISA in the event that any buyer was a non-UK company offering shares as part of the deal.
Not sure that mine allows this, so could be forced to sell, but not totally au fait with the rules in this type of scenario

deramramping?
pot/kettle, Malibu1? lol

If its not a senior role, then why RNS it? Seems they see it an an important recruitment worthy of informing the market.
No problem with this for me

Not sure if already posted, but there was a very brief glimpse of an ExtremeE car in the trailer for the latest series

Agree Jaceorge,
I have been saying this for many weeks now (since the drop back), yet the more knowledgeable few have been going on an on about a large seller (or MM games) as the excuse for not hitting £2 and above for the whole time,

If there was a large seller(s) they would have been gone weeks ago on the volumes we have seen, and we would have seen TR1's too.

And one posterwas so confident of this view they said that I would be on here apologising 'next week' when this went through £2, despite my regular posts to suggest my differing view in response to the weekly guessing game figures showing £2.50 plis in many cases (i.e. sales, sales, sales). That was more than 3 weeks ago now, and I note no apology from said poster for being horribly wrong. At least I hold my hands up if my view (just an alternative opiion, after all) turns out to be incorrect.

Plenty of good news to come, including the likelihood of some sales news prior to the HY results (imo), and less than 3 weks before some firm numbers regardless of anything else.
I feel that come Easter, the SP (and the mood) will be a lot better than currently, but it is news, approvals, sales, numbers that will be the catalyst for any big move.

Zoom,
How are MOU's in EQT that different to the supposedly permanent NDA's that have been talked about here for the past 7-8 months, or more?
What has either company delivered in real terms over the same timeframe (bottom line cash flow, sales, etc) rather than the very positive (imo) newsflow on potential that I have seen on both?
Not a deramp btw as I am very happy to be in both for the long term, any short term moves not overly concerning for me.

As I said, both shares have risen 50% in the past 3 months, a realistic timeframe to measur performance, so how can one be a 'massive dog', while the other is not?

Thank you for your reply, ocelot.
I will contain my view on actual progress to confirmed news via RNS now though., rather than any speculation given the very poor results over the past 18 months or so here.
News has been especially poor in the last 5 weeks leading to the current (very) negative sentiment here, and ANGS seem reluctant to address this specifically, imo, taliking about future fluff rather than immediate action.
I do still see a modest return (lessening by each official update tbf to the extent that breakeven would be a great resukt for me now), but my original (firm) exit plan for Dec 2020, will be actioned for sure if SF 'first gas' is extended beyond Q4.
I already expect another delay from Q3 due to funding and any other reason they can think of over the next 6 months, so perhaps a biased and negative view now.
Back to circa 50% down here now when exactly 5 weeks ago I was 1% from break-even (after 2 years of patience and belief in the new bod to show true change fro the old regime).
All credibility and trust for the new regime and direction lost for me now, and I think many feel the same, particularly as the bod seem either oblivious, or uninterested in the reality of PI sentiment, preferring to concentrate not even on the next big thing, but the one after that, despite zero success to date (my nod to YorkshireLife).
Balanced discussion is difficult when the majority will only look at one side of the argument and not consider a reasoned alternative, rare though it may be, which has been the majority view here for over 2 years by the majority (on either side of the fence), imo.
Last post tonight, will look in over the weekend though

Zoom,
In what way is EQT a 'massive dog stock' currently?
Because it has dropped from unrealistic highs much like every other stock in this particualar sector since the unjustified rises in Q4 last year?
Has EQT moved any differently to all the other stocks in this space over the past couple of months?
Please provide some detailed reasoning to justify this view other than any SP change (or picking one example just to make a (poor) point).
FYI, both shares are up 50% in the past 3 months, a realistic timframe for comparison, so performance in the short term is similar, no?

ocelot,
I note your eternal optimism when it comes to anything ukog or angs related (despite more than 2 years of serious dsappointmet with regard to delivery, or anything tangible on each), and wish you well.
Have you ever taken a step back from either though to take a proper look at the bigger picture, or is the constant defence just an auto-response now?
For me, as you can no doubt tell of late, the balance has firmly shifted towards the negative aspect here now, I see nothing positive to get behind in the next 6 months (based on current, expected Angus timelines).
