That's great, I've heard so much about it over the last few years.

Are there any restrictions/differences to the US version? Can it do options, margin, leverage, etc?

EDIT: Going to their website immediately uses 36% of my CPU!

I trade small amounts with CFD's at IG. They have an options section but the range of shares to trade options in isn't a lot, mainly the top tech stocks, s&p 500 and commodities. To be honest you dont want to do options trading outside of those anyway because lesser stocks will wipe you out completley.
 
Day of loads of green.
Coinbase. Up 7pc on the day. 150 percent increase for me!
Nvidia still going up. Crazy.
SMCI getting back after a recent correction.
UEC up too

My remaining UK shares? Nearly all red lol
 
BAE Systems was 560p in Nov 21 when I got my first few shares in it, its now 1360p just over 2 years later which is a nice increase, shame its all driven by Ukraine and the threat of WW3!

They've also been getting some hefty contracts particularly with AUKUS.

I shorted when it was like 50 and closed this morning around 47.48 after I noticed it going sideways.

I doubt the rally will be long lived tbh, its like a small version of twitter with less ways to get add revenue.

also easy for the media to do hit articles about reddit, because of the kinds of gruesome and border line legal content on that site.

parts of reddit are as bad as the "troll forums" that exist on the net

I'm totally surprised. I was tempted to short for the first time as I regretted not doing it when snap IPOd.

I'm surprised it's popped. Not sure how it can be monitised

if you start messing with CFD "trailing stop loss" are your friend and how you set how much money you can potentially lose

I'd play on a practice account assuming CFD has a version for that, until your confident you understand what your doing.

anyone constantly opening/closing a position is likely a gambling addict, it's something I rarely use but most IPOs only go down anyway.

The app version interface for buying/selling on cfd was more user friendly than the desktop version too I think.
as t212 warns something like 90% of people doing cfd lose money

Its only something I'd do on an ipo. And like you say, if you don't know what your doing it can go very wrong.
