Not full size contract though, just a few OTC CFDs.

Had annoying phone calls from both brokers this week, accompanied by some surprise increases in margin requirements.

i tried to hold a short on the sim for the ftse - i got stopped in the run up 2 minutes before the overnight close. its down over 400 points from stop price lol
 
complacency aside, so many opportunities.

Man needs some serious capital, no BE or stops hit yet! Winner winner chicken for dinner.
 
The deficit in England is 1.3m votes against remain, and widening. Scotland was keeping the deficit down as its results came in, but it is almost fully counted. Unless London and the big cities go very heavily in favour in remain, leave wins. I think leave wins at this point.

I had to pump in a few extra dollars on account of a sudden 330% increase in margin requirements , otherwise they would have torn my shorts off!
 
I had my doubts but it's happening and good on them. As that bloke said "Independence Day" for Great Britain.
 
I'm not sure how I feel about this. The rest of Europe is going to panic without the stabilizing presence of Britain.
 
There must be a PONR...Point of No Return??? Once that is realized, look out.
 
ITV calling it a win now, they were getting higher % of a win before, 90%, then 95%, now they're just calling it a win for leave.

It seems the fat lady is starting to hum some chords.

EDIT: BBC also calls it a win now too.
 
Nationalism has returned...first the UK, then the US. Fear....racism and closed borders for the future.
