Mergers & Settlemenet

Hi

I am trying to understand something similar. 

I recently bought 21 st Century Fox Share and was hoping to execute trade such that it settled before the Disney Fox Merger. However my trade was a day late and settlement on a T+2 basis would have only occurred the day after the official close of the Merger. 

All reports have indicated that the corporate action has taken place and the merger has closed with "new fox" actively trading. My portfolio still shows my holding as 21 st Century Fox which is in a trading halt (and won't be traded any further due to the merger). Which leaves me in a unique position as I don't believe settlement has occurred. 

Would be great to hear if anyone knows what happens in this situation.

Hey - at the moment share dealing accounts should have been accredited, however leverage accounts such as CFD still waiting to be settled. Unfortunately this is due to our broker, Citi, not completing this action yet. As an indication we know that the terms are:

0.736816999999999 for 1 in 20th Century Fox

0.4517 Per Share for 1 in Walt Disney

0.332820199999995 for 1 in new Fox Shares

The relative complexity in this is due to the number of companies involved and the division of the company. We expect this to be reflected by the end of the week, however this is currently subject to change.

Thanks James,

Much appreciated.

My trade was on my share dealing account which has not been accredited.

Hopefully the new share arrangement is reflected in my account next week.

    • Hello everyone, At 03h30 UTC there was a bump on AUD/USD because of the Cash Rate data release. I was supposed to enjoy the ride thrue an API call, but my orders were rejected with the reason "ATTACHED_ORDER_LEVEL_ERROR". My working orders entries were 0.66112 and 0.66032. From the time i started to send the order until the rejection, the tick prices were: BID: 0.66042 | OFFER: 0.66102 <sending> BID: 0.66038 | OFFER: 0.66098 BID: 0.66040 | OFFER: 0.66100 <rejection> Can someone explain me how IG decides when to send this error ? I would like to anticipate it. Is it because the spread was at 6pips ?

    • Forex or Crypto swing trading is a trading style based on identifying swings in the market. Since these swings can take a while to develop, swing trading is most often done over the course of several days or market cycles. If visualized as surfers, traders who utilize this method are out to catch and ride big, long waves. However, in order to catch those waves, traders first need to identify major pivots in the market. What is a Pivot Point? For Crypto or forex traders, it is imperative to know what pivots are and how to spot them. Pivots are the points in the market where price changes direction, from bullish to bearish to bullish, etc. There are important points in price, and there are less important points. Swing traders will not focus on minor pivots, while scalpers will try to take advantage of every minor pivot found. How to Identify Major Pivot Points for Crypto or Forex Swing Trading Major pivot points are easier to spot. They tend to form near support and resistance levels, or they themselves create a new important level. These are points where buyers and sellers are very active. Minor pivots form more regularly and randomly.
