Hi Patrick
Im new to this and trying to understand how things work in terms of trading. Please see below for some eg:
2015-01-08 09:24:02 BVT Bidvest Ltd 5 30197 R1 629,85
2015-01-26 12:07:38 BVT Bidvest Ltd -5 31198 -R1 439,90
Bidvest was a test hence the low quantity
2015-01-08 09:16:44 SOL Sasol Limited 10 40342 R4 154,20
2015-01-27 09:47:16 SOL Sasol Limited -10 41574 -R4 037,40
As you can see my trades re made at about 3% but often the timing is off due to the latency. Am I missing an obvious fundamental?
