no cynic wouldn't, and actually bought a few back at 223 - wasn't brave enough at 200, and by the time i looked again it had relatively whizzed

well done shoud end in profit here

last 10 mins could see a rush ready for tomorrow early morning spike perhaps

hardly end in profit, but made back a pittance of my hefty loss by selling the above at 240

think i'll go and have a good meal.,. had a good day today.

Oh damn....what has happened here ?.....

shit and derision comes to mind, but be happy that sp didn't finish at its earlier low of about 185!

rf, you been sleeping today?

do i ave down. sold first thing but left a limit order to be filled at 290p b4 i left for work. it was filled but could have got them cheaper if i was off work and following the market a bit closer. Doh. i still think these will settle down and become good.
do i try to guess the next bottom[obviously missed the 185p earlier]?

decisions, decisions.

What say you Cynic, which way next?

Alex

The one day that I could not watch at all.....today......cost me a packet.....blast.....

I've been waiting for this for months and would have reacted and this has been a complete disaster......had to do some work without computer access et voila.....been stopped out at 190p.....jesus......

I have had access to a computer for the year just about every day except perhaps one or two and bingo.....today of all days...

I had a stoploss at 240p and they have done me for 190p....am pissed off like nothing else....

rf - you need to have a serious word with your broker. Whilst clearly your stop at 240p would have been hit no matter what, you only have to check the trades to determine there was ample liquidity for your broker to close your position close to 240p. Seems thay took their eye off the ball and you're paying the price. Perhaps one for the Ombudsman?

In fact I had 2 stoplosses ...one 250p...dealt at 247p..and the other at 240p...dealt at 190p.....today of all days....just no access and thought nothing much was going to happen....

thoroughly agree ..... though sp was more than lively, categorically it did not dump from 240 to 190 in a single move, or anything remotely like it .... at the very worst, you should have been stopped at say 230 ... how do i know? .... because i managed to get out of a lump at 237 via IG - and that had to be phoned into IG as could not activate same on line at the time

Will ring but I bet I get nowhere...

in that case, and as peter says, you should go higher .... start at director level .... what is the company?

Rang them ..City Index....have to make a formal complaint which I will......but the answer is that was the price in the market at that given time....I've just been stuffed that's it...

I will be a lot more cautious from now on.....and will have to be very picky with my choices....

that's total bullshit .... i assume your stop-loss was in place before this morning ..... the price pertaining may well have been that when City Index got round to activating it, but they need to give the time when your level was actually hit in the market .... assuredly very different .... if need be, i can get a time check from IG as to when they sold my block through the market at 237, but certainly it had not been below that at the time, though it was ticking back quite rapidly from about 245 (from memory) ... furthermore, it did not then head straight down to 190 either!

i hope someone from City Index watches this BB as it looks that they have some serious explaining to do and probably a slab of compensation to you too

by the way, throughout the day, all MMs were quoting in blocks of 10,000
