I could have taken on £3k from TD on a T+20 at 870. Inclusive of charges, I would be sitting on a paper profit of £209.10....sell now, and I haven't used a penny of my own cash, but up £200+ in real terms. Nice if you have the bottle to go for it.

Had been opened when SP was about 870 with targets of 920 and above....
