A good two days, up from 370 to 7th. Wahey!!

Hey, pth, how did you do it? Rebels has decided to go for the lesser prize of a 10 bet - doesn't qualify because he's gone negative whereas the actual bet awas for exactly zero. Could be either plus or minus zero, mind. Great game this: I am going to come through with a late rush on the outside; not telling anyone how!

Eric,

Started a little late and rushed two trades through, one highly speculative, which is in profit and one solid pharma which isn't going to go anywhere anytime soon. Should have given it all a little more thought, might have to bin the pharma unless a miracle occurs!!

PTH

IanW,

I think the whole problem about division by zero and sort of accepting your trade, but not carry out the transaction but taking the commission is due to putting in commas in the value fields. I.E. 200,000. From experience, it doesn't like it and treat it as zero and does funny things - I daren't do this again to verify if this is the case as I lose 10 everytime I do this. You have something to work on here and see if this is indeed a problem - I could be wrong here. Now, why did I put in commas in the first place? Your examples says something along the lines of max volume allowed 200,000 so I copy the 200,000 and paste in the input fields and press enter and things goes wrong when I do that.

EWRobson, nah, I am not aiming for the 0, I'm going after the grand prize me!!! But something tells me I might come last.

Until it is checked out, I think it would be the best idea to omit "commas" from quantities... Seems to work fine that way.

I.E. 1,000 should be entered as 1000 etc.,

seems to be a glitch as it wont recognise cap as a company, even full company name.

bosley,

I will get the tech guys to take a look.

month 2:
who is in front between a and b
month 1: a -50%
month 2: a -10%

month 1:b +10%
month 2:b +30%

If you mean

month 1: a 50,000
month 2: a 90,000

month 1:b 110,000
month 2:b 130,000

Then obviously a, since 90/50 is a greater percentage increase than 130/110.

because the rules say the one who makes the most percentage, i think

is that how it works?
if so i might have a chance

It's how it works, although b would have a better chance for the final 3,000 prize of course...

ok

hmmmm, skandia may have been a mistake

Can anyone tell me which CFD company offers trading on AIM companies. If not the FTSE 350. Much appreciated

xmortal try Barclays ..

Jimmy b

I know they are v good but could not find if they do CFD on AIM companies. Do they trade on AIM?

Yes definately, you have to cover 20 or 25 % of your position as opposed to 10 %

coolio. thanks Jim.
