I don't see your double bottom - I'm out my short, but my long trigger just canceled.

Not sure what happened to it. I need better data no use just looking at OST charts and trying to figure things out. My longs are hurting a bit but hopefully an afternoon pullback. The 2293 mark has been cleared but not yet closing price.

Thats why I firmly maintain you can't trade short term on OST - not the first time this has happened. The platform is geared for medium to long term only - time frame in excess of weeklies. It is way too slow to properly catch intra day movements

I agree they should re-brand ONLINE SHARE INVESTING.

And I have to say, that for investing, it is a great platform. For short term, I am increasingly bigger fan of Nedbank's CFD's. Low rates, stable institution backing your contracts (and your margin), real time trading platform - what more could you want
