i dont get if its me whos misunderstood what could be done, or most other traders are idiots... lol
Bascially before and still while having traidng as my main career im a business man.
So i buy and see pyshical goods and services.
If i saw an offer on saying 'Armani jeans, buy them for £20 today only, but from tomorrow we are moving price back up to £30'...
I would go and buy them that day for £20.
Then would come back the next day and sell them myself at the going price that wuld be £30.
if more people heard about this offer for £20 that day, 30 next they would also all rush out and be buying loads, since they knew they could make guaranteed profit the next day.
But so in trading, where no matter how fancily you make it look and all charts and stuff you still are just buying and selling barrels of oil.
And so there was oil being offered for $36 today, with the price that you can sell at tomorrow being $42.
So arent all traders just being complete thickos by not buying thousands of barrels today at £36, and then tomorrow selling all those barrels tomorrow for $42???
