Trading the Brexit, anyone?

Based upon the first 5 tesults, 4 remain and 1 leave but the total count was 50.5% voting to leave.

Now 5 remain, 3 leave
53% voting to leave.

I'm tempted to go long, thinking the rest of the results will bring the stay camp back into majority, however after looking at the swings mostly caused by illiquidity, i'm not so sure any postion would be worth the risk.

You know these divisions aren't electoral divisions? The Scilly Isles have a population of about 1,800 people but are in the remain column.

 

[CanOz]

something like 13 regions out of 300+ counted, good grief....

Yep long, long way to go yet. Another 6 hours or so of this. Currently 1:40am in London

With the bad weather I feel the more passionate will come out to vote. I have a feeling that the more passionate will be the leave vote

Geography and politics are definitely not my strong suits.

Anyway, there's some political bickering going on at the moment. A number of pro remain pollies are looking and sounding less optimistic than they were earlier.

Agreed. Only 3% of the vote and the GBP is flailing wildly

London to remain! as expected right?

That's just the City of London, like the City of Sydney....There's about 6,000 votes in that division. That's the point I keep stressing, the divisions do not have equal population weightings. Wandsworth should report soon, that's a big London borough and is supposedly going 70% remain.

Cool, i'll keep an eye out for that one...

[ThingyMajiggy]

So far, from The Telegraph. There's been a few just now that were supposed to be remain but leave has won, adding the extra volatility.

Wooohoo what a ride!!

 

[cynic]

Anyone still keen to go long?

 

[CanOz]

This is gonna be a helluva day if we've only got a small portion counted and we're already seeing these swings....unreal...

[kid hustlr]

I was going to stay out, but this is just too good! Swings are awesome. Gold in/out, Aus200 in/out, AUDUSD in/out.
