My personal portfolio
Some changes in precious metals trades
A sharp decline in Silver futures today triggered a stop in the May contract at $15.63 against my purchase at $15.583 on 4th March. Somewhat later I opened a new similar-sized long at $15.278.
A similarly sharp decline in Platinum futures triggered a stop in the expiring April contract at $958 against my purchase at $955 on 15th March. My positions had been on automatic rollover so later in the day a similar-sized April position was closed at $959.8 against a purchases at $943 on 3rd March. A replacement long was opened at $962.3 in the July contract.
These prices include all spread-bet dealing costs.
