Maybe Tim Nice-But-Dim has set himself up as a MM.

Very Strange trading.....you buy high sell low not the other way round MM make money on a trade not give a discount.
Perhaps there is a sale on LOL

In fact I can get the same prices for 50,000 shares. Does this kind of thing happen often?

[wh1spa] 08/3/2012 15:51

ok just did a dummy trade I can sell 5000 (the same as the trade today) for 11.02p and I can buy at 10.9p?

[bugs bunny] 08/3/2012 09:00

Wh1.....Might just do the same....Iron brew LOL

Another nice contract win, trading statement due soon followed by Full results to come. Things looking very rosy and a rising share price at the moment

Which ever way you look at it, its going to cost ION or whoever alot more to takeover FFA now and going forward, however on the other hand the present FFA team are doing all the hard work increasing the value of the company contract wins etc, making it easier and leaving less to do for any other company wishing to take them over.

[bugs bunny] 20/2/2012 08:55

Looks like we had a tick up late friday.........Ive learnt not to expected to much on contract wins with FFA, hasn't done much in the past and don't see why that would change.....

FFastFill Sees 50% Reduction In Exchange Round Trip Order Latency With LME Proximity Hosting
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:28:04 GMT - News Articles

Since the launch of the London Metal Exchange proximity hosting solutions in December 2011, FFastFill has seen substantial round trip performance times from its hosting locations to the exchange. Average acknowledgment times for new orders are improved by 50% for those members locating their exchange gateways in FFastFill's two new datacentre suites one of which is provided by Interxion. FFastFill provides LME member and customer order routing for over 20 LME category 1 and 2 members.

FFastFill has seen the average exchange round trip latency reduce from 10ms to 5ms when the proximity solutions are used, although not all members use these proximity solutions.

Proximity hosting offers premier access to FFastFill's LME trading services. The main beneficiaries of which are those traders or systems active in FFastFill's bespoke LME synthetic orders, such as random icebergs and ghost orders and for users of FFastFill's award winning spreading tool SpreadIntelligence which offers a host of inter- and intra-market spread trading features.

FFastFill will also be offering the use of both the Interxion and Equinix sites to non-LME customers as both additional communications hubs and proximity hosting venues for other exchanges. FFastFill currently provides access to over sixty global venues via the Horizon global multi-broker network.

Caroline Davis, Managing Director – Business Development, FFastFill said "The improvement in round trip times will bring significant performance improvements to screen and algorithmic traders, both of whom are active on FFastFill Horizon, the global multi-broker network. Proximity to the matching engine is vital in order to ensure the trader receives the best fill possible for himself or his client".

Michael Warren, LME CTO, said "We are delighted that our decision to upgrade our trading platform, LMESelect, and to simultaneously add the proximity sites to the environment is showing such clear benefits to our members and business partners such as FFastFill. We will continue to enhance our technology to ensure a stable and performant trading environment for market participants."

Greg McCullough, Managing Director Interxion UK, added: "By colocating at Interxion's data centre, centrally located in the City of London, LME members and their customers can now benefit from this significant reduction in latency to the LME. In addition, colocating at our London data centre not only gives access to an extensive financial ecosystem of leading industry vendors, such as FFastFill, but also to all financial networks, allowing market participants to connect to all London-based exchanges and MTF's in less than half a millisecond round trip.

PTS now have gone and FFA last man standing......How long before the crosshairs are being targeted and who.

[bugs bunny] 17/1/2012 09:13

Ive been in this one for nearly 8yrs, so know how you feel, I see the brokers still have there target price of 17/18p but if it came down to a 2 horse race it could be around 20/22p or possibly more, One thing I cant see a collapse in the share price as we witnessed in PTS and ION taking advantage, I can only see its going to cost more to buy FFA the longer our sutors wait,IMHO.

[wh1spa] 16/1/2012 21:40

Anyone any ideas about a fair takeout price for FFA? I've held for years but am beginning to get a bit weary!

[bugs bunny] 16/1/2012 13:00

Just waiting........We know its going to happen but when and who??????

[bugs bunny] 20/12/2011 11:24

"Recommended Cash Offer for Patsystems plc" That looks the end game for PTS.

Now what are ION or Cinnober going to do with FFA in the new year???? I can't see FFA hitting the buffers and a collapse the share price as we wittnessed with PTS, So either or both are going to have come in with a descent offer.

[bugs bunny] 07/12/2011 16:20

ION bought another 8 million......Thats another £800k

Nice movement on the the back of the PTS posssible bid from ION or friend.

[bugs bunny] 28/11/2011 08:31

FFA mid results where quite good and the acquistion looks reasonable, However following this mornings annoucement about PTS, ION will not get FFA on the cheap as they are trying to do with PTS.

FFA will be next...... but when and how much.

[bugs bunny] 18/11/2011 11:49

Interims out on tuesday...I hope there is some good news, anything condsidered not posistive these days and the share price will tumble again.
