{quote} dividenda ftse se zgodi ob 16.30 po Združenem kraljestvu. Ampak moraš ga skrajšati ob 16.29 in 55 sekund
I understood from the previous post that it was necessary to buy FTSE, now I don't understand. "shorten" (Maybe my Google isn't translating correctly.)

Thank you T721 for sharing this fantastic trade idea; that's very generous of you.
I tried it yesterday, and indeed, the gap got filled. Although I missed the first spike, it filled again overnight. I do have a question about how you manage this trade: Do you set the TP on the broker platform, or do you use some script/expert advisor to do it automatically?
(I attempted to set TP right after opening the trade yesterday, but my MT4 IG account would not allow setting TP so close to the current price at the time)

Thanks again!!!

Hi guys, a question regarding trimming the losing position. How do you manage the action? You have a profitable trade and trim the loss immediately or if they are in opposite directions you wait for corrections so you can get a "discount" It was a real rodeo for me this week and I managed somehow to trim 1/4 of my losing position but of course in the end the price action was on my side so this also helped me a lot.
