No cigars on the div trade for me this week, back to hedge trimming until next Weds.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

I only do the FTSE and there wasn't enough movement south this week.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

"Dividends highlighted in red include a special dividend; therefore, some or all of the amount will not be adjusted."
This is the first time I've seen a special dividend mentioned.

Hi pal..... special dividends dont happen that often..... basically means, lets say you buy at £10pp and it drops 21points so you should get the £210 div while your trade is minus £210........ but with the special div you only get part of it but you wont know how much till after it happens

i wanted to take these trades in the beginning, but then i would have had to open an account with IG.

also, IG has strict margin rules and then i left it.

...but i think it's a good idea and maybe i'll do it later.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

Don't have to trade just to get the DIVI, just go LONG straight after 16:31 that's what I would do, so you don't need to use IG...
