I've done that a lot before. What I started doing was after a profitable session halving my position sizes so that if it goes to shit then you should still manage a net +ve day.

Agreed on this. I've been building a long position for the inevitable (!!!) move.

Yet RBS offer a 3pt spread in normal hours and about 22hours per day trading... I'll stick with RBS, especially with its far superior interface and the fact that you can set your stops as tight as you want.

It is what RBS offer - no choice in the matter. In fact, another thing I should ask them about. When I read this thread the crude numbers mean nothing to me!

What do you mean descended? It's always been like this! :D

Hi Candles, how's it been going the last few months - not seen many posts? I'm predicting very profitable? :D

Brent.

Would it not just be easier to bring vodka in an evian bottle? Or mix up 2 litres of jack n coke? - That was my cricket match special :D

Had been looking at this but havent had a setup. 1 crude trade this morning - buy 44.23 sell 44.90 + 67 not the best entry but was triggered by a limit order when I was AFK. I have another open from 44.49 where I added to the position which is locked in with a SL now at 45.04...

Too busy trading/working ;)

Don't worry about it, I got the same for a bit over in T2W. The bank balance meant few tears were shed :D

Yeh at the end of the day its about the long term whether that be your monthly, yearly, 5 yearly etc... I'm still 80% up for the month which is way, way in excess of any expectations. The reason I've been losing this week - lack of discipline!

My worst since early December when I lost about 10% of my account in a week (about £12k at the time).

I'm at break even for the week, for every sensible trade I've done an equal and opposite poor one!

Up about 100pts or so today. got in on the crude up and somewhat on the dow down. Got chopped a fair bit but not bad considering I had a lot of work on.

For anybody that uses RBS marketindex this is the response I got. I'll have to try it when I get home. 'we are generally interested in improving the quality of our platform. We are however not aware of connection problems. Please try the below as a possible solution: Using Microsoft...

Covered my shorts at the bottom of that 40pts drop on the DOW future. Good start to the week.

I agree - I cant seem to get it to open right now.

My outlook is bearish. I'm short DOW from about 8100 (can't get into marketindex at the moment :/)

I've just sent them an email reiterating the same points, especially the connection issues.
