Any UK based traders on here?

We have an options group meeting every month that meets for lunch followed by a 3 hour meeting with an agenda covering topics of interest and members trades.
The group has been meeting regularly for some 18+ years, not far from Sudbury Town, underground station near Wembley and with free parking at our venue.
There are about 20 members and a dozen or so are regulars with some private email group chatter in between meetings
If any members of this forum are interested in coming along either for this months meeting of for following meetings please let me know on

What broker are you using when saying " Try to gauge numbers?"
IG at the moment. Please don't hate...I know the spreads aren't the best etc. But they offer guaranteed stops up to 400 pounds per point on the S&P, which can be retrospectively added after the trade is opened, which I think is worth any of the drawbacks that they might have. Obviously a different scenario if trading beyond £400 per point, or 8 Emini contracts.

They take the losses from News/Trump Tweet spikes ??

That's worth a lot, possibly too much, ie could be the death of IG!!

I more or less make the above point in my 5th bullet here:

As for the death of IG, I won't be holding any breath any time soon:

Do either of the two remarks have merit?
Answer is no. Disregard both.

Some of us like the rain.........

Seriously, one common negative thing you hear from British ex-pats who've moved to Mediterranean climates or California or Australia is that they miss the four distinct seasons.
