Wow you did well on MCRO!

SLA can invest longer term than me. I'm a day/week trader tart.
Just sold , FEVR at 1475.
Seriously looking at selling MCRO but feel the down shakes are too small. Fevr is non stampy

At 787. Thought I saw some strength and they usually end the day lately going positive.
Decided not to sell MCRO. Will probably sell FEVR if they see ,1475 again.
Range not great on OCDO today.

On the NMC chat site (so worse than rumour really) that takeover talks were broken off.
Currently eating Chicken Royal in Burger king.

Congratulations V, that,s a brilliant gain on UFO. Just had a reminder that MCRO are selling at 910. Might sell.
No, heard some bad news on mnc so holding back

Thanks V, not in nmc at moment, can't take anymore excitement today

No, alert system doesn't get fooled by the auction. I had an alert set to tell me when the sell price went above 1472.

And Rule 8 always applies
Fevr is setting off my sell alerts now

Thanks. I see it is having a run up now. As the shakes lately have been very small reversals on bullish movement, I think I am inclined to hold unless there is a more dramatic spike.

Clever marketing by them, give the customers plenty of time to get organised.
Dithered on Fevr so will wait for the next spike

FEWR making good progress today. Any comments T?

Up 10.3% Whereas like for like sales dipped 1.3% for 3 months to Dec. Increased use of home delivery is what we want.

Couldn't bring myself to sell OCDO at ,1152, might regret that.
Limit trading worked well on nmc, just bought back a second time, fingers crossed.

It looks like I will be away from my desk tomorrow. I will be able to occaisionally trade via mobile phone but it will be an interesting experiment in using the automatics.
As mentioned earlier I have run out of funds (except my NMC "stake") so won't be buying anything "new".
I'll set some very optimistic sells on some of my holdings and review and refine them whenever I can. Historically I have been rather lucky with Limit BUYs and SELLs.
For NMC I will probably set a limit BUY early after reading the LSE NMC chat board (do they never sleep). It worked well for me today. If and when I buy NMC, I promise to set a stop loss. I worry about stop losses as I believe they are communicated to the market. I know that isn't too serious an issue but I don't like it(even though the value of my shares is only three and sixpence by comparison).

H: Made 5.7% on NMC so obviously happy. I am expecting to have a go at them tomorrow too but will use stoploss to protect profits. Yes, I am using Limit trades quite a lot but things happen quick with NMC, I like to be eyes on. I think I have to go out tomorrow so will inevitably use Limit trades more.
T: You did well selling on the morning OCDO spike, I'm quite envious but personally I would have sold them again later, although knowing me I wouldn't have had the patience to wait all the way until £11.26!
Your price on MCRO isn't bad, after all, you're just going to put them aside until £10.....or will you be tempted to trade them?
I wanted to buy back my second tranche of SAGA towards the end of the day but I had run out of money!!
Thursday LLOY reports earnings and I am reading mixed signals about it. After HSBA news today, I think LLOY suffered a bit. LLOY is probably my largest holding and I am "working" 2 tranches on the Treacle system. On balance I am inclined to hold until Thursday.
On the subject of using IG as share dealer, you'll find mention of "platform" or custody charges of £24 per quarter. Apparently these are waived if youtrade >3 times in the quarter.

Completed my 3rd churn on MNC have now past my target for the week. Yes, I could easily go backwards in next three days. I blame NMC trading (you have to watch it all the time) for missing the OCDO spike this morning, felt too proud to accept later prices of 1155+, wish I had now. T, did you buy OCDO back near the close?
I bought back into MCRO at the close gaining a few shares on my last sale of them.

Yes, using IG graphs all the time now for OCDO and my other holdings. They are instant to access (and live, i.e. real-time, of course). But if you set up a dummy account on IG to use alerts, presumably you have access to the charts. Incidently, the trading commision charge is only £3 per trade (if you have done >3 trades in previous month).

I have been using this quiet time to look through the facilities on offer within the charts on IGs new trading platform.
Wow, there are 30 "indicators" available of which I have only heard of a few. For a chartist, they are a delight.
I am becoming more enamoured with this platform since I have developed a work around for the irritation of the live prices not being easily visible for the 15 secnd duration of the transaction ticket.

yes G, really peeved I didn't accept an earlier offer just over 1167, aaarrrhhh

Invest a billion pounds in NMC
The old ones are the best!
