    Hi all!

    I have a fairly substantial dividend adjustment overnight for my FTSE positions. I understand that Xmas will have changed the days around a bit this week, but Reuters don't list any stock going ex-div and the IG dividends tab is blank for the FTSE.

    Wondering if anyone knows which stock went ex-div?

    Thanks!

    I think that would be BATS, BT and HLMA. :) 

    6.3 points total coming off FTSE 100.

  2. well IG would be a good place to start, but basically any regulated broker, ideally stationed in the UK or other well regulated region like America / Australia etc would be a clear choice. 

    look deeper than just the top level costs. look at conversion costs and admin fees too. they mount up.

    I am not concerned about 24/7 trading, in fact I think it's a silly idea, but you shouldn't claim 24 hour trading seven days a week when six hours of the sixth day are not available to trade.

    "161 hours 40 minutes a week" or "24/6, plus 18 hours minus 20 minutes on FX and 2 minutes on indices" didn't have quite the same ring to it I imagine....

    30 point spread lol!

    True but also let me know how else I can trade fx which settles at the globally traded fx rate on sunday night ;)especially over weekends with brexit! exclusivity means it lacks competition and can put a premium on it

  5. interesting that you say you wouldn't trade against the trend, however the trend is entirely dependant on the time frame you're looking at. Its a tough one, and why the markets work so well... everyone is looking at different things.

  6. Saw that william hill are extending their roots with a tie up with International Game Technology to offer sports betting with lotteries. 

    Aparrently 50% of US trade lotteries at least once a year so the market could be huge. 

    Stock hardly up at all on the news but an interesting development.

    In the first scenario (first screenshot), what would be the difference between:

    • using a stop market sell order for 2500 at 180 (like in the screenshot)
    • using a limit order for 2500 at 180 

    Basically if you tried to do a limit order to sell at 180 you would immediately get filled at the current levels and your position would close. You’re saying “I want to sell down to a price of 180” but because the market is at 212 you’re going to sell at these levels. 

  8. Thanks for this. 

    Also I love that wee notification which comes up in the community at the bottom. And when you’re on a thread and someone else adds a reply and you get that small black notification, and when you click on it you’ll see it fade in...

  9. looks like we've seen a price target rise to $53 for UBS on the back of the world cup. So looking at about a further 15% upside if that comes through. Can see it reached 47 but off a bit since. On a personal note I just don't get it ... I don't get the company, lack of profitability etc. I don't get the service or use it for that matter, and because I don't understand I won't be getting involved.

    Trend is looking good tho and glad this played out well for ya.

    Also the following from seeking apha: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4182119-twitters-recent-boom-beginning

  10. Interesting. I like the new upgrade. On mobile it’s looking good. You can go to the forums section @Caseynotes and it’s the same layout (nearly - small tweaks to structure) but all in all you can navigate as before. 

    Mobile experience is a **** of a lot better. It looks like I can add screenshots and I actually find it MORE intuitive. Mobile nav could have a little work and reorder, but that’s about it at the moment. Will update later when I can review on desktop. 

    Also casey - love that picture ?
