Can buy a 1000 @ 4.05. Halifax

Thanx, Popeye. Good to see you are still 'spreading the word'. Good effort, with you all the way. :)

At long last I'm not the only one.

Reassuring to know it's not just me. Thank you for the answers. :)

Anyone know if The Halifax trading platform is 'off the air' at the moment?

Phil Collins : Another day in Palladium.

Can someone tell me what time it's hitting 20p, please. :) :)

Buy on Halifax, no problem.

Nice tick up to finish :)

Had to spend a couple of days in the sin bin too. :(

Even mine get taken down after a gentle verbal joust with my veritable naval friend. :P

Silkman. We can all look through the 'riser's board' and drop a name in. It's easy, as you just proved. You go back to hemo and we'll stay here. I don't come here often but I'm bored with you already.

Bzn. Go and worry somewhere else. Take your 58p with you too. :)

Do I understand? No not really, but I do fully understand that scalping and day trading are different strategies.

As I said earlier Macs....TCG (Bust), SXX (Gone too), EUA (Gone in 5 weeks) , MTRO ( That could be your best). £84K OUCH OUCH OUCH. Have fun. :)

'Dopeso' LOL. If that's your best shot you're in trouble.

I get that, Swanny, and thanks. But isn't scalping a more or less instantaneous transaction rather than a true day day trade?

Well I just break it down into simple language, then I understand it easily and no one thinks I'm more clever than I am. But if I wanted to buy a share in the morning in the hope of making a quick day couple of quid then I'd be more tempted by the stock with a 1p spread than one with a 10p spread (Given of course that all fundamentals were identical). So for me the tighter the spread the better. Not so for 'scalping trades', I get that but I'm talking about, as you alluded to, 'day trades'. So just tell me in simple language, why am I discouraged, as a day trader, if the spread is tight?

'Spread: 0.370 (0.74%) -- Very low spread - deters day traders / scalping'.

Can anyone tell me, just so I know, why a low spread would deter day traders. I'd have thought a low spread would facilitate that particular trade moving into a 'black position' more quickly (Assuming upward movement of course) and that therefore the tighter the spread the more attractive it would be to the day traders. Macs knows much more about these things than me, so I'm sure I'm wrong, but can someone explain it.

AA05: Before arguing with Macs you need to study his recent investment form. Thomas Cook Group, Sirius Minerals, Eurasia Mining and Metro Bank. From this stable of winners you will see that he is always right and not to be argued with, nor his opinion questioned.
