Midday Market Summary

LW - check that on charges...
I know you are using a different firm, but CMC charges for rolling a long overnight.
Best to be safe and check it out.....

I have not been charged for leaving positions open on postions with a fixed date.

I did get a small charge for leaving a position open on a "rolling date" position. So I no longer open these type of positions!
