Closed my 5th trade at a profit of £31 , so now have closed 5 trades, 4 of which were profitable for a total of £287.26 (£1/pt spreadbet). 12 open positions in profit of £22.75.

Sounds to me like you're over trading your capital.

The last couple of days havent been too good for my growing portfolio. I have closed 4 trades in all (3 winners) for a profit of £255.96 (£1/pt spread betting). I have 13 open positions, 7 of which are losing. My open position are down £39.15. I'm now starting to be a little more selective in...

The algorithms to base sports arbitrage on are pretty trivial (read my book available from Lulu.com !!) and a few years ago when Tradesports existed there were also plenty of inter-exchange arbs between Tradesports and Betfair. I then got some coders from RAC (Rentacoder) to do the coding for...

There are always people who feel that any form of positive results from software must be engineered spam from the distributor of the software. That's the nature of forums I'm afraid and the only way to deal with it is to ignore it. I'm simply trialing it at the moment and dont have anything...

Closed my third trade at a loss of £31.38. This wasn't indicated by PTF but I felt the trade was going nowhere and it had been 11 days since it was opened. So my current profit stands at £255.96 with open trades in profit of £32.20. All at a £1/pt with my spread betting company CMC.

CMC

Ivan, I was looking for those too but I suspect jonny has a different, pre-release version to the current download. One other thing that needs to be looked at imo is a way of being able to save (or highlight) your current traded pairs in the Console. I thought I could do that by clicking on...

Now 3 closed trades. All in profit. Running P/L +£287 to £1/pt spread bet account. Open P/L +£114....

As I'm trading slightly differently to jonny and also trading UK stocks, I thought I'd share what's happening to my 'book' of trades. I'm using PTF to enter spread-bet trades with CMC at just £1 per point as I'm still learning. So far I have closed one trade at a profit (in just 4 days)...

Thanks jonny and for your comments re Portfolio Management. I've had a reply from PTF about this issue and they say they are aware of it and should be upgrading it in V3 later this year. My own trial is going well with my first trade closing yesterday at a good profit and far exceeding the...

jonny, As a more experienced PTF user than I, perhaps you can comment on a post I put on their forum. I'm currently trialling their software and from an indicator standpoint, its so far looking good. What I can't understand is their 'back office' design. Here is a quote from my forum post...

jonny, as I've come into this thread quite late on, can you tell me what your current ROI is, approx ? Also, d'you use PTF to exit trades too ? Sorry if you've been asked these things a lot :)

Anyone have read the book: "The Art of The Arb" Trading Manual ? from the site: http://www.pairtrader.com/arb_info.html It's quite expensive, i wonder if it worth the money. I've got the manual and it makes good reading. Please make an offer if you'd like to buy it. I'm based in the...
