  1. Hi I am trying to workout, how often the FCA update their short tracker data: https://www.fca.org.uk/publications/search-results?p_search_term=&category=data%2Cdata-consumer data%2Cdata-fca performance and operational data%2Cdata-firm and market data%2Cdata-retail banking%2Cdata-retail investments%2Cdata-retail lending%2Cdata-general insurance and protection%2Cdata-investment management%2Cdata-pensions and retirement income%2Cdata-wholesale financial markets&sort_by=dmetaZ I noticed recently that Ocado was/is the most shorted share in the UK. But also since this data was published they had some very positive news that forced their share price to gap up (Amazon rumoured to be considering buying them). Bit this despite this huge gap up, the amount of shares being shorted, remains the same. Can this right? Thanks for your help
  2. So what happens to the inital margin and amount available? Does this mean the margin increase as the position moves against your position? If so by how much and when this increase/decrease happen - is there a treshold @OfentseIG? Also much of the margin/deposit is lost?

  4. Hi @OfentseIG Does this mean at " long on 100 shares of company ABC" the share price would need to fall 2 points for a loss of $200? So as well as having to cover $200 loss and would need to cover loss of $200 from my deposit? In total $40 for a 2 point loss?
  5. I am trying to calculate how much margin I would need to raise if a trade were go against me, For instance if opened a buy order of Amazon at 9317 @£1.5 a point the margin needed would be 9317*1.5*20% = 2795.1 If the stock price decreased to 9000, I would be sitting on a losss of 1.5*317=475.5. Can someone tell me how much margin I will have? It doesn't make sense to me?
