Hargreaves Lansdown / TEST27 Aug 2020 18:51
Evening All
I have only been trading 2 years - my IFA has always dealt with PP etc - but have caugh the bug.I always DMOR and dont often make comment.I read the BBs avidly across a number of sites in relation to shares I am invested in and it always struck me as strange how many BBs comment on unpublished trades or BUY trades publised as SELLS,and also multiple unpublished trades dropping into L2 after the market has closed (but not affecting the VWAP) Maybe my ignorance of how things work but I did a test across multiple platforms today with TILS purchases of a variety of values - the only one that didnt publish my trade BUY after hours and declared it as a SELL was HL and it hit at the same time as 200k of buys from 26.08 - so wondering did any posters BUY the other two trades 7250 shares or 5000 shares showing as SELLS that have appeared with my 7276 BUY shares £9999.04 ? Is it just a coincidence or is it how large platforms mop up and declare their end of day trades (and even from the previous day)? Appreciate any thoughts for clarification Cheers Sporty
