hehe, you must have missed me lose every single trade on Monday and Tuesday! It was actually quite funny....every trade lost 20 ticks or so in the space of about 1 minute, about 15 times in a row!
Patch of good fortune at the moment, either that, or nodoji really did slip some subliminal messages to me in her posts....

Coalition to create fund for Libya rebels
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/05/201155111319362768.html
The NATO-backed coalition in Libya has said it will create a fund for rebels fighting the government of Muammar Gaddafi.
The Transitional National Council (TNC), based in Benghazi, has appealed for loans of up to $3bn, saying they need around half of that for food, medicine and other basic supplies.
Italy, host of Thursday's meeting in Rome of the Contact Group on Libya, said the temporary special fund would aim to channel cash to the opposition administration in its eastern Libyan stronghold.
But efforts to unblock Libyan state assets frozen in overseas accounts, or to allow the rebels to get past UN sanctions that prevent their selling oil on international markets, have been held up.
"We'll be discussing a financial mechanism, we'll be discussing other forms of aid," Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, said at a joint news conference with Franco Frattini, the Italian foreign minister.
"I will be formally announcing our non-lethal assistance so I think that there is an effort with urgency to meet the requests that the TNC is making," she said.
Clinton said the US government would try and free up some of the $30bn it has frozen in Libyan assets to help the TNC.
She said the administration of Barack Obama wants "to tap some portion of those assets owned by Gaddafi and the Libyan government in the United States, so we can make those funds available to help the Libyan
people".
Mahmoud Shammam, chief spokesman for the TNC, has said the rebels urgently need $1.5bn to cover immediate running costs.
"We need this for medical supplies, for food supplies, to keep the minimum functions of normal life - electricity,
running hospitals etc," he said on Wednesday.
The rebels also want to press their cases for better weapons and equipment, Shammam suggested, saying that they are "hungry for basic arms."
