A UT is an accurate valuation of a stock based on trades to date & if possible, some book matching. The balance of which / adjustment price, is posted. The volume attracted is just applicable to the calculation. As previously highlighted it can also include a matching of long / short positions. With spreadbets the company often takes the opposite side of the trade & thus the trade never goes near the underlying stock. Due to Brexit the UK is currently the most shorted market & thus some firms don’t want to take the other side of the bet. Geng hi, as you know a green candle indicates buying at a higher price but… what if the stock bought was sold short, doesn’t that cancel the gain out ? also are Riverforts sales & volume posted in the after market included in the graphs ? or does that data stop at 16:30, is what you are looking at accurate ? Graphs are ok but can give a false picture so Pro’s use algo’s to do the maths, which is more accurate. On the 31st Dec, this rose about 71% but it was a trading trap because the maths didn’t add up. There was no way that volume could be sold at that elevated price level. Those that bought at the top sadly ended up selling after, at a loss.
