Stump up the capital and I'll make it happen. I might have to take the next few days off as Im feeling way fucked from friday + saturday. Real messy.

right. Balance at the end of my 4th week is at £52,084.79. I've doubled my money this week. Very lucky. I'm off out for a 2 day bender. Have a good weekend,

Nice one candles. It's good to know I'm following similar signals to yourself. How have you managed with a growing account? Your results have been incredibly consistent so I imagine it has increased by a fair amount.

Yes I do. I'm a finance analyst but im left to my own devices for a large proportion of the time and I have a very easy going boss.. I never work past 5:30 and I'm never in before 9. Limit orders are my friends.

Thanks, sound advice. I've limited my number of trades, position sizes and stop loss sizes today. I've made 3 trades, all dow short trades for about £1000 profit.

cheers mate. About a year ago I opened an account with about 5k, got it up to around 20k and proceeded to lose all but a few hundred pounds. I've learnt a lot from that- It was very painful at the time, a massive dent to the ego. I was telling all my mates 'look how much money im making, ill be...

Mainly. However some of my trades are more instinctive though I use v tight stops with these. For example, yesterday the dow was moving v quickly so i went long with a fairly tight stop. If I had have been wrong the loss would have been about 40pts however I saw good momentum and made a lot of...

You will see that a lot of the top traders interviewed in the book were unsuccessful to begin with (sometimes over a few years) and some got lucky but taking a massive risk (without really realising it) but then got stung when they thought they knew what they were doing. The main thing...

ok I'll bite.

Not while I'm at work but will do at the weekend although considering your previous 'contributions' to this thread, I'm unsure as to your motives?

abn - https://www.abnamromarketindex.com/uk/Home.aspx Sold at 55.76 last night, closed with a limit order at 54.00 @ £10/pt. balance over 50k now after yesterdays riotious action.

I go with the flow to be honest. I dont prescribe to the sell when its high, buy when its low theory. For me you can buy low sell high or buy and high and sell much higher...

I got in at 8386.9 at about 20:11 mainly due to the speed at which it had rebounded and the massive volatility earlier in the day indicating to me a massive struggle between buyers and sellers. I missed the initial action but waited till it first pulled back and then resumed before going long...

caught quite a bit in the end. Not going to post how much as I feel it would almost be rude on Spanish's thread when he's had a shit couple of days.

All done for today. Profit of £3880.91 to bring my balance to £38,886.14. Sold all of the dow pullbacks except the last one where I wasnt at my desk though I caught 35pts of that.

nice one spanish. Definately the best approach IMO.

Withdraw your cash and buy some books. I'd start with Market wizards by Jack Schwager. You cant trade indices with 350 quid.

And so if you need a bigger movement you will probably look for the very best setups and thus find your winning ways again..

you need to scale down man. £4 pt on 7-8k is around 10% just on an atr sized move. Get back to £1-2 pt until you start winning consistently.

lol probably best if he takes the day off - I always need a few days out of the loop if i have some big losses. I've made and lost a bit more since I last posted, NAV at 38275 with 1 open position (short crude). Personaly i see no reason why the DOW will move up significantly. There has been...
