By that reasoning if Hilary wins then there will be no change since the markets have already priced her in. The polls are calling it close but I expect her to win comfortably.

anyone traded Binary Options?
I read really bad things about this.
I want to move into Forex, but must find a getting started guide from the ground up.
Already know about candles and wicks etc, but really more which platforms are cheapest to trade and easiest to use to get started.

Hi Guys,
Apologize if this a bit noddy for this thread but I want to buy some NASDAQ shares in a specific US company.
Will probably be keeping the shares for 2-3 years and then sell them off.
What's the best way to go about this?
Ideally I want something that has no yearly costs and just charges for transactions. So would something like the Halifax Share Dealing account be suitable?

Personally I'd use Hargreaves Lansdown, but any of the other share dealing sites would do. All you need to do is compare the costs.
You'll also need to complete a W-8BEN form: -
Buying American and Canadian shares

not really - what the other poster stated doesn't necessarily assume p = 1 q = 0
if candidate A is good for the markets and has a .9 chance of winning and candidate B is seen as bad and has a .1 chance of winning then you'd see a bigger reaction should candidate B win but also some reaction should candidate A win
I think you're probably best staying away from both at the moment.
Binary options are trade on some exchanges but I think you're looking for something rather simple in which case they're unlikely to be suitable anyway.
Most retail traders dabbling in FX seem to use bucketshops which would kill a lot of potential edges when it comes to short term trading.
FX futures, LMAX and interactive brokers are possibilities though.

Dunno, but I'm looking at a US ETF (look at IUSA.l)if the market tanks over the coming days/weeks and just holding on for a recovery. Am also looking at Asia too as a potential strong market over the coming years.

The market will be fine. The FTSE was down in overnight trading and is already recovering.
Some businesses will welcome the tax cuts Trump claims he wants to bring in. There might be some bargains while things work themselves out though.

The market is higher now then it was Monday. That amount of bounce, volatility seems whacky. I had a short and closed it last night but could have gone long too, thought about it but this immediate bounce back seems extreme. No guts no glory 
Fresnillo and Centamin up 10% cant really complain. Volatility is generally good for gold
Solid advice - https://t.co/qzMEXbnG7x Someone on this thread called a lower sp500, made me think ty. Its generally 'full' I agree.
Sterling is still struggling to get back on the rails, still weak, legless
After 2:30 I expect all this to replay in real time. This news struck out of hours, so yea some trading can be done but the majority is still to come, traders should love this stuff. Im just confused lol
0.1% margin between win for either candidate is what I just heard with now Clinton still possibly getting the most votes.
*Very buoyant market, make hay while the sun shines right. Sold some WEIR, betting I can buy again lower before they go ex-div next april

The futures were way out of whack, funny how extreme these things can be. Cable is just floating along, dollar is quite strong so relative to that its doing ok but UBS says there could be a break out upwards with 1.55 target.
That is feasible but UBS is the swiss who are not in EU and of course realise thats no great negative, doesnt mean the market comes to that conclusion this year.
December should be quite quiet vs January barring any real news. Often theres a drift up but we are already high, its a very noticeable bias year after year from low volume
GPX up 50% today, I dont see any news but I was thinking about it and it might make some sense. The 50% alone doesnt mean anything much, its 6p and rights were 4p at year start.
Its a destroyed asset in the Syrian battleground. How broken I dont know but prices move on differences which this Trump dynamic absolutely is. Its all speculation but his policy with Russia and so with Assad and the Syrian army could I suppose benefit this share, the reality being very harsh but the rumour allows for the share to rise like this is my guess. 30p would be something, I dont suppose it'll do that as its not likely a working asset any more.

Sold some more Weir. 1800 is good, they could make 2000 before next spring if fracking is in recovery I guess. I should rebuy them, I dont think they expensive and it depends on oil price also etc
Bought tiny bit of VOD, I should have sold BT year start and I realise(d) RDSB or similar would have been a good switch at the time. I did get some, somebody said the merger was known as a sure thing
Utilities have a premium in some negative type markets, its more challenged now. I dont actually like BT at all tbh 
never did, too much of an ex government blob. I said sell in 2000 but they were held by a relative at that point. Its a bit worrying their reliance on size, I dont think the regulator will split them while we leave EU

RMG looking very unwanted there, maybe it can come back to 500 before any further decline. Not sure if its expensive or not, not especially
Sold all my Shell, Im not the optimistic type re: OPEC etc - 2200 is a good area, Im not that far off that. I can easily be wrong but Im overweight oil anyway

So while I know a fair bit about individual trading now, I'm a bit of a greenhorn on brokerages. I'd always heard E*TRADE was the powerhouse, but seems they don't accept customers from the UK after they shut doors here a few years ago.
Looks like a lot of brokerages in the UK also charge insane per trade fees, but I read up about degiro - almost seem to cheap to be true.
Anyone here knowledgeable on them?

I was going to say Morningstar for profit/loss and it updates news for each holding etc
Sterling is more positive shorter term, its hit its head right this moment but its back within a trend. That trend long term is downwards, I mean obviously we know thats the case for years but it is up off the floor. 1.288 I think is a good level of previous lows to watch for it to beat, typically it keeps trying and failing and does not immediately break through such barrier areas.
Sterling affects the price of everything especially I think it makes gold stocks more negative in our viewpoint Even BP div is coming from dollars, so its something I watch for timing. One fund I hold is short yen long sterling so ideally I lean more on that if possible. More conventional might be FT250 as its more UK then ft100
Im thinking BP has royalties deal in Iraq anyway and not sure about Russia, wont they cut the expensive oil first. Rosneft bought BP's old profitable assets there?

My broker is just about to move into subscription only via trades, you trade 3 times and its all good. They used to be 50p a trade but FCA stepped in because...
iii also has a cheapy monthly buy scheme as well. Mine doesnt have that, only thing I miss. I dont like iii because of some their charges meant I lost half my scrip dividends in fees which is not ok
Goldman Sachs says buy nvidia. Way beyond me estimations, to hear a broker like that means others had that info a month ago or so I guess
Gold is so broke, as a chart. On the actual fundamental or long term view I reckon this is a period of buying and hopefully you realised some profits previously, wish I had sold more.
Anyhow I dont mind lower price, not on this kind of news anyway which is perception based.
Malcolm Graham wood says Rockhopper is far too cheap, but when would they make a profit and if no profit you are liable to the 'generosity' of others
