Still long other instruments. Market looks like it wants to make new highs soon
Expecting ES to catch up with that massive NQ upmove, so getting long here
Long here 3 units at 2402
Long here 3 units at 2402
Just holding LONG on the Nasdaq and the german Dax now.
They should both just keep going up so don't plan to touch them for a while.
5K starting account from last week is now over £5700 so doing OK

Well done on your profit to date - watching with interest and wishing you well.
I'm a little confused. I'm familiar with spreadbetting, but don't follow why your account is in £ Sterling but your position-sizes are in US$ per point? You appear to have your account currency and position-sizes in two different currencies, so I'm wondering why/how that works? I appreciate that you're probably in the UK, if spreadbetting, and will naturally have a GBP account for the purpose, but when I was spreadbetting various indices, some years ago, my position-sizes were also all ("therefore") defined in £'s per point/pip, not in US$ ...
Hi, Xela.Everything is actually in USD. Account value and pip/point value. But i'm in the UK and have put the pound symbol in front of some of my figures by force of habit.
(although I used to have a stocktrading account which done exactly as you describe. My account was on sterling but my positions were calculated in dollars)
Thanks for the well wishes. I'll need it!! Just a bit of fun for me, really. Ideally i'll make some money
Closing a few of them long SPX positions here for +2.5 handles (2.5 ES 'points')
Holding the rest long
