Why Selftrade piss me off..

Everyday we seem to have higher volumes back on the FTSE and I want to jump in for an exciting day's trading to find that Selftrade have some technical fault or other - the latest supposedly down to "third party data provider".  It's frustrating as hell and means to play it safe I have not been using limit orders and selling out when actually there has been a lot of upside on some of these stocks that i have dropped! 

I'm now looking at Barclays Stockbrokers.  They offer 6 quid per trade if you trade over 50 times a quarter (half the requirement for selftrade).  They also offer free level 2 at this point as well or charge 16 quid a month if you only make 25 trades (i easily do this at present)... be interested to know thoughts on them from any readers! 

My long on BA is doing nicely and with the sudden rally this AM I am tempted to sell out at 160p for 85 quid profit, although it would be nice to just put a stop at this level and see what happens i just don't trust my broker account at the moment! 

Sadly my Oxus Gold and Medusa mining stocks have not moved as of yet - was hoping for some form of traction on these.  Oxus despite making a loss of 42 million last year is on the road to becoming profitable and good results out at the end of June should hopefully get this stock moving in the rup up as the wise money starts coming in...

I've been told by a mining analyst mate that he thinks both companies are dead dogs but i'm still sticking to my guns on this one although will watch both stocks extremely carefully going forwards!
