Thanks, corrected. Yes, the spread will be a problem. Will probably have to use different time settings. If the positions are opened too early or too late, that's probably not good either. So maybe the whole thing is not working with these brokers ...

Thanks. I believe ICM (like many other brokers seem to do) adjust for dividends at rollover times. At least that’s what i used for ICM now. Close is at 00:00 and then trading opens at 01:00 again. As i said i am new to any sort of grid reading. The ...

I don't understand exactly how the pre-trade is intended here. That's why I deactivated it. Otherwise, here are my settings for CAC and ICM today where, according to ICM, a 7.3 point adjustment is to be expected. The chart in the background shows a ...

I am probably overthinking it again but feels like the ex-div trade isn’t as straightforward as said. The only thing that seems to be certain in advance is the ex-dividend date. But I have no idea how to trade this as standardized as possible ...

Some more information a about dividend adjustments with ICM. — Thank you for reaching out with your concern. It's important to clarify how dividend adjustments impact stock indices and their subsequent price adjustments. The dividend adjustment ...

Same here. But it‘s not only the EU. Australia (ASIC) also limits retail trading leverage to 30:1. It‘s pretty standard now all over the world. Try AfterPrime (100:1) and IC Trading (500:1). They are regulated under FSA (Seychelles). Both accept ...

Unfortunately, so far I have not been able to find a broker other than IG that prices the dividend adjustment at least approximately similarly to the forecast figure. IG - 08/05/24 Forecast (FTSE): 19.59 Actual Gap: 19.20 image ICM - 09/05/24 ...

Thanks for the reminder. Yes, you’re absolutely correct.

Persons with higher intelligence are prone to overthinking they say. I can’t even tell you how bad it is and how it affects my entire life. I am trying a lot but it’s hard to cope with. More financial freedom and less stress could certainly help but ...

Maybe it is also profitable to generally buy when the market opens on the Ex Div date and get out sometime/where before the day's close. So regardless of a gap fill and regardless of how high the number of the dividend adjustment is.

Oh, i looked at Monday. Only 7.3 today.

Can you find two trades every week if you just follow the two indices mentioned? Do you have a minimum size of the expected dividend adjustment in points and where to you place your stop? Assuming you find 2 trades per week with at least a 5 point ...

I thought that might be another alternative as a broker because you get 200:1 Leverage. But look at this? This makes the whole thing even more difficult if you are already trading with a large position size and are holding a trade with a narrowly ...

Yes. I'll let you know if I find a solution. CAC looks good. 24.7 points are expected according to IG. Don't forget that today is Friday and you may have to hold the trade until Monday (or even longer) until the gap is closed / profit target is ...

Hey PC, I've been looking for that too. IG's historical data, especially on the smaller time frames, does not go back far. My hope was that you could use the data from another broker, such as Dukascopy, which has good quality tick data for most ...

Good answer. Thank you! Yes, will stick to my little plan for now. Maybe trading a few more stock indices could help too.

Here‘s what ICM answered to me about the dividend adjustments. I asked them why they only show a 3,4 Points gap on the latest ftse figure that came out at 20.80.

What’s the advantage of doing 3-4 scalps instead of placing a second core position or simply increase the initial position and let the market do the work? Just because you „scalp“ you aren’t suddenly immune against price going the other way. It’s ...

Yes with IG anyway due to the high margin requirements. I can forget it. I have no idea how/if this can be traded with the other brokers. See my previous post. No idea anymore.
