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.

I enrolled in the champion investor, however I am confused as to closing a short. Do I buy the share and then will it closed itself or do I have to buy it and then sell it again. Please explain

xmortal,

All you have to do is buy back the equivilant number of Shares - this will close the short for you,

Ian

Hi Ian,

I had few longs and when I sold them they revert back to sell, and viceversa. They are still showing in my account as that. Should they dissapear once the position is closed and money shown as credit?? plse explain. ta

xmortal,

If youhave a long and then sell out it will clear from your current holdings but will show in the summary as a seperate transaction of a sell. Any profit or loss will then be taken into account and the balance will be adjusted accordingly, taking into account any remaining positions and liabilities.

Ian

Ian. Sorry to bother again. It seems to have worked for some of my stocks, eg RPT, however, I had ISYS as long, then sold it and now apppears in the open position table as short. Same with LUP, had it as short, bought it to close it and now it is in the open position table as long. I thought the open position table should clear those stocks once they have been closed? all confusing!!

Would be grateful if you could look into it plse (post 88)

xmortal,

Many apologies I missed your earlier post I will take a look at your account,

Ian

xmortal,

How exactly are you doing the trades - are you clicking on the sell next to the position, are you entering the epic in get quote and then performing the transaction, or are you going clicking on trade and then performing the transaction?

Also when you do the trade, which box are you filling in with the volume before you trade?

Ian

I am executing the buy/sell in the open position table and on the trade tab. if I going to close a short, I proceed by filling the the buy box and if closing a buy I fill the sell box. I am not searching for the EPIC code if i want to close a positio, I am just using the table and trade from there. Please explain the step I need to do when carrying out the correct transaction. Soz for this Ian :-)

xmortal,

We will take a look into this and get back to you,

Ian

Hi Ian, any news?? Thanks

Just entered- bought 2 stocks and shorted two. Went so high risk (3 aim stocks)that I have 95,600 left after costs! Gotta go for gold if you enter late IMHO.
