Direct Market Access Anne , thought about it in the past with IG Index but din't go through with it.

Thanks Richie, again please excuse the dumb question - but if I place an order to buy, (in my case it was with Hargreaves Lansdown) would they not use DMA to process it?

They have DMA for their own orders for sure but for us mortals they run their own book and when the bid was 204 this morning their ask was probably 205.25/205.75 so the best we could have obtained from them was 204.75/205.50 probably and it was all over in a nano second anyway so talk about being quick.

I had a limit order for 10,000 filled at 205.25

So, in fact then I should be quite pleased - when I saw it wasn't taken I managed to get a few at 204.69! Ok - not so bad after all then. Thanks for explaining it all

Next sell point is at gap close 229-230 IMO. I then expect a retrace, possibly as low as 210, but to 217 certainly.
