Quote from porph:
Trading on my abn account so can scale the trade size with crude. - hence the pennies.
Shorted the sp500 as well to leave my profit so far at £54.63 from a starting account of £1000.
Oooooh sorry to hear that mate.
Ive been trading quiet cautiously and patiently today, which is saying alot in a day like this where the indiceis are jolting 50-100s points in both directions, changing every few minutes!
And oil is just chucking around in dollars now, not cents!! lol
I personally have made myself £325 profit so far today cos only did £1 - £2 tick, but have also made £148 for my mum on the morning Halifax buy.

P.S See i do take losses, just very small losses, very rarely as i dont enter into foolish trades.
And take those losses at the time that its needed (closes oil sell for £20 loss at 87.08!!)
This for certain guys from t2w who been commenting on my trading.. lol
