Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Bit sad for the bulls.

You need an ii trading account to apply.

I have a trading account and ISA with ii but no Level 2 yet, still thinking about it!

iii was great for setting up free portfolios like MAM but when they went to ii they trashed every ones years of work without warning. As for the stockbroking aspect I can’t say except I thought it was a badged Service from someone “like” the Halifax.

Can anyone add anything more?

Thanks for that info kim and Stan.

Does anyone have ii L2 and if so does it show all MM and order book etc. like MAM`s L2?

If anyone is interested, I have always used several brokers but I had an account with Beaufort that was then transfered the thesharecentre - I left the account with them to see how things went, and I am pleased to say that I now prefer using them to the other online service providers. that I am with. However, having suffered the Beaufort mess, I hedge my bets even more so now.

Then new website is clear, easy to use and the documentaion is A1. and good value for regular traders.

perhaps worth investigating having an account with IG, for certainly their L2 platform is very good indeed and very simple to use and to place orders on the spot

I wonder about the usefulness of a L2 platform these days with HFT being used more and more. The retail investor doesn't have a chance.
As an example, the last 10 trades of LLoy today consisted of 9 automatics, of which 6 were from an algorithm, and one off-book.

Hey George bit of a long shot but:

Do you live in Redruth?

If so do you have a Coffee maker for sale on preloved?

Nope and nope

Thanks and thanks.

i see the labour party witch hunts are up and running once again

Luciana Berger (L'pool Wavertree) faces a vote of no confidence from local party members for "continuously criticsing" corbyn, specifically over anti-semitism and his (non) stance on brexit

Manuel.

Are you a member of the "smear party"?

nope .... just a reader of the news

poor little fred really doesn't like it when someone has the temerity to criticise his hero, but happy enough to dish it out to all and sundry on the tory side

Just a quick mention for : Mr Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac : wishing a good recovery.....those guitar solos for the Fleet were fantastic...I think it was the Mirage tour.... ….needs an extended version released…..

Not in Cornwall but take care down there George as the rumour is that all 3 were Tory voters ):-

Only a half-wit would consider the murder of three elderly men as something to joke about.

The only joke on here is you Scoby.

Extremely poor taste Stan

Tories commenting on taste ...I've heard it all now 😂

George,

I thought you would revel in it!
