So you can actually sell what you do not own?

Weird, clearly there's a bug somewhere that allowed three transactions to go off instead of one for ACL. I'll look into it, and hopefully sort the bug out before next years challenge.

With GT247 - 0.1% on total amount when you buy AND sell. If you keep it over night the there is a small fee when you long weirdly I think it's the inverse when you short. Think I will test that tonight on my demo account.

Then around R80 p/m for live prices.

He shows no holdings so perhaps he has them hidden for a few days.
