Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

RRL is showing its first signs of a rise and FOGL has hit a sticking point (or so it would seem), FOGL will go up in value later today and i still expect around a 140p close BUT it looks like RRL could take off slightly after lunch and i wasn't willing to run the risk of being locked out of RRL due to a rise.

Still FOGL made me a tidy £300 whilst RRL droped in value, so i'm more than happy with that :)
 
Your entire portfolio in one share is high risk, I presume you still have cash or property elsewhere as well though

RRL is near the 5 day average price at 6.2392 so see how it reacts with that for if it'll rise or goto 5.5 area

BP is up over a third from the bottom now, compares pretty well considering. Oil is falling below 76.84 on poorer fed projections I think
 
My entire portfolio is disposable cash which I've already written off as this is my first dabble into shares. OK, I've taken out my profits and reinvested my original stake but I'm not worried.

I have plenty in my savings and my house isn't going anywhere :)
 
Same as above, if i lost it all tomorrow i would be upset that i got it wrong but it wouldn't change how i live etc, i can afford for it all to vanish i just wouldn't be happy about it thats all.

Far as companys go RRL seems to be quite a safe bet, lots of news on the horizon, looking very unlikely for it all to be bad and to finish the company off.

Lets see shall we "who dares wins" and all that.
 
This TD waterhouse is such a faff to trade with, it wont even let me buy 2000 shares even though i have enough funds to but 3700 shares of the company I want to buy.

My HSBC is effortless and simple, just stick the amount i want to spend and it tells me how many shares and what price, the TD waterhouse one wont let me do that either!

Not sure why that is, i don't need any funds in my TD account to make trades, they have given me a 5k trade limit before they want payment, debit card payments go into the TD account within 10 mins, £2,500 limit per trade without adding money into the account though perhaps this is the problem (i.e. the limit hasn't been lifted)?
 
I think its cause I'm trying to buy a Netherlands stock, really can't understand whats going on. It will let me do 1000shares but then I don't get any confirmation of how much that is actually going to cost me before I submit the order!

Edit -seems UK stocks do what I expect its just silly foreign ones dont -Grrr!

All sounds very odd, TD very clearly lists the price / number / commission / Tax etc you will be paying before you submit the order. Perhaps give them a call?

ATVAM:NA.

Try buying some and see the confusion!

Edit = I think its cause it takes 3 days for debit card payments to be converted from GBP to EUR, however the trading limit on real time quote is high enough to allow me to it. And 1000 shares which it allows me to do would be over what would have cleared (£100 when i opened the account last week)

It will be the currency conversion. They want you to have clearance for an extra 10% or 20% maybe over what it'll cost in case the pound drops a cent suddenly
