Looks like you did alright there. What happened with the dow trade?

WOW. I decided to skip college (who cares about revaluations of depreciating assets anyway?) and concentrate on trading and I hit it big time. Got my main buys and sells within 10 cents of the highs and lows of the last few hours and really upped my positions as the trades went into profit...

Nice one blackjack. I've just checked my account and the balance is £21,430. With regards to trading full time, im almost thinking that doing it part time is good for me as I dont watch the markets as much so I end up staying in for bigger moves. I've made £16,430 in 3-4 weeks. I'm due a...

Hi Spanish, I've had a good day too. Timed everything to perfection and held out a 200pt move. I dont have access to my account right now but im sure i was over 21k.

welcome to the thread pocrel. What's your trading background and how did you get started? Do you trade full time?

Anyone trading today? I caught some of crude movement and I'm looking at over 20k in the account now.

im upto 19.6k. Bit iffy today but good end result. Going to work on some refinements to the way I trade over the weekend and reduce risk a little.

Yes, I've had an IG index account for the last few years and I've also tried a number of other SB frims. I've got an account with barclays and also I've had a good look at my father's IB account. Key differences between abn amro marketindex and the SB firms Ive used (IG, tradindex among...

I quote, 'marketindex is an on-line CFD trading platform specially designed for the self directed active trader. The system is fully automated from market making through to hedging so pricing is fully transparent. ' Maybe our definitions are different.. :confused:

abn amro using the marketindex platform. I highly recommend it though one must be cautious with the levels of leverage (upto 50x on dow/s&p) they offer.

that's because 95% of people dont do any research and dont really know what they're doing. Seriously, your posts are getting tedious. You lost money because you thought it would be an easy game, quite where you thought that money would come from in a zero sum game i dont know. Anyway, im...

constructive. nice one.

You dont want to go in thinking 'i want my money back'. If you do, I guarantee you will lose a whole lot more. Spanish has posted plenty of trades hes taken, even over the past few weeks. I didnt trade today. Work is killing me but i need to stick it out till at least may..

..and posted screenshots everyday... there are a lot of people round the world who make good money doing this. You had a bad experience because your money management and risk control was dogshit - I remember the thread over on t2w. And to be accurate, I've turned 5k into 18k. Yes I took...

I believe Spanish trades US, whilst blackjack & myself trade brent.

from what hes said, i dont think so. I dont think any of us on here use a 'system' per say. I find far more value in patterns, s/r and my own fundamental judgement.

Maybe so however it's very easy to remember all those occasions but forget about the times you took the profit before it quickly disappeared. It's very difficult to get the balance right. Do you think Oil is going to rally this week? This ranging is wierd but not so bad to trade.

Hi all. Work totally pissed me off today. Good job I have this to fall back on and keep me stimulated. Could have been an excellent day and at one point I was over 18k but green is green and im happy with anything positive. Balance up to £17,758 but I have an open trade that is down a bit...

pissed off I missed some profits due to some fuck ups at work but hey... upto just over 17.5k now.

that's why you dont risk more than a set % on your position.
