yes and also latest polls keep coming and confirming the expectations. Some talking heads starting to sound that this is over .... Betting agencies closed in 95% chances of remain too.

Eyes on the Nikkei in a few as a benchmark of World Equities but more importantly FTSE taking 6400.x in the next few session unlock a rather sharp rally 6800.x that will carry european bourses and by default the rest of the world ...

With a confirmation still to come overnight of the vote we are set to mark the low of this month in Equities and we are officially entering in FED rates mode before we enter in the doldrums of the summer ...

We are very close to clear this chapter so last few details left and the rest will be a lot of talking heads and sour grapes from both sides....

....and the last unofficial exit polls from serious sources coming keep showing even largest gap to remain .... only a major fck up from all polls will change the outcome ...but given the royal fck up they made last time, they are only publishing this because they are pretty much sure ...

Next round of outlook changes only come with final and official confirmation ...

Let this be a lesson to you Brits- you don't have a choice and you never did.

Americans neither.

The basic principal is the same as it has been the last 2000 years. Without revolution- there is no change.

Should we bring some Cubans, Venezuelans, Russians, Burundian, Tunisian, Egyptian, Syrianm Bahraini, Iraqis, Yemenis, Georgians, Darfur, Sudanese, Azerbaijan, Ecuadorians, Lebanese, etc etc etc etc (that only cover the last 6 years in the world ) ... to see what they think about your comments ...

.... wow suddenly the most capitalist job and business on earth (trading) is having a moral shock the last few days in the thread ...from Fool to Pharm0r to some random Russians trolls ... je je je ... just kidding.

Day is pretty much over.

​{quote} Not sure what you mean. If the leverage could blow your position is because you are overleveraged. Period. What spread?. We are swinging with a +250 ticks mattress to stop in the most liquid instrument in the world with an event that would be clearer by the first exit polls in the best case scenario and if its too close to call you are going to have hours to clear if the target hasn't been hit before until noon on the day. More importantly and as I mentioned above the current swing is on the FED play flow... we haven't even mention...
specifically waited to answer this as to illustrate the point.

Agreed, over leveraged is over leveraged period. Many may not realize leverage across many brokers went up last week. 20x on GBP crosses for some of the bucket shop brokers. Was just a word of caution for those that heeded it. I haven't checked the EU thread, but I'm sure that post of mine would have had a better effect there....as many in this thread (hopefully) have grasped the concepts of money and position management at this point....

it is tight... the sampling error is very large..

too close to call it a win, but probably also too far apart (to the Remain side) to stay awake all night reading all the tweets/headlines.. looks like Gibraltar will soon come online with the results?? before Sunderland?

You know I'm poking at you- but I haven't wavered in my opinions from the beginning. The brexit possibility was squashed the moment Obama, Cameron, etc hit the air- and even before then I said it wasn't going to happen. Money changes things- not votes. Period. If you don't have money- then revolution. Even then, as in the case of the many you've listed....perhaps that wont even work. Maybe I should have said that instead...

Interestingly enough- I'd wager you know the country that has been involved with at least 80% of those you listed...probably all...and the reasons behind....many of those so called revolutions were orchestrated

Only very naive retail would have been holding or trading the last 2 hours ... If you read the thread most here and pretty much the whole financial world closed shop by the European close....so sure the spreads but if you re getting spanked here....you are only yourself to blame as just dummy retail traders trading with bucket shops will consider trading ...

As I said- that post would have been more effective in the EU thread. My last trade was 12 hours ago

I'd wager there maybe one or two in here trading
