Spanish89- Opportunist Trades (2nd journal)

[gotta_trade]

I used the ET search feature... man you're the best! Absolutely classic stuff!

Quote from spanish89:

I seriously do love this style of trading as its so so easy, as all i have to do is chase the trend!!

So theres no more having to get drunk to get myself out of reality just to hold through losses, and always feeling scared inside...

Quote from spanish89:

mate it takes ALOT to get me drunk..

Gone through a bottle of white zinfandel wine and a 1litre bottle of white rum, but still fully sober.

Quote from spanish89:

the only thing that gets me drunk is champagne..,
and that is really just taking the fuking piss when you have hugely bad days and then have to go out and waste more money buying champagne just to get drunk!!

Quote from spanish89:

But i have not drunk any alochol all day today..

(apart form a few shots of white rum after waking up as i had no milk, and i hoped the white rum would wake me up like coffee does).


this teh 1st day i havent drunk all day for nearly 9months though..

Quote from spanish89:

I guess im just going to have to start drinking alot more during the days again.

That keeps me out of reality enough when i have enough bottles of wine and white rum, and so i only get in t perfect entries and dont then get cautious every if i keep on keeping myself drunk enough...

Quote from spanish89:

by about 3am i had gotten myself too drunk by creating a drink where you pour beer, bacardi breezer, rose wine and white rum all into your mouth at the same time (cant swallow till all 4 are in) and then swallowing it all in 1 and then doing it 6x in a row.

Quote from spanish89:

Then on friday night i metup my old mate from school and went to his uni campus and i had brought along £40+ worth of alcohol from the shop and i got everyone completely drunk (they are all doing advanced physics degrees so are normally studying equations) but i turned the place into a proper party where no eductation was allowed!!

Quote from spanish89:

But the test didnt lie and it said 80.6% correct.
And so i went and opened my bottle of rose wine and drunk all it while dancung around my flat celebrating that i was a maths genius without even trying.

Quote from spanish89:

im just so sooo fucking fedup of this lack of being able to work!!

Quote from spanish89:

Yep ive been looking at the thread daily for a while now,
as it amazes me how so many people are so interested in my life,
which i always thought was very dull and boring.

Quote from spanish89:

K well im off to london too meet Arabian and get drunk..

Nothin can even come close to comparing, absolutely classic stuff. thanks man!

Thankyou for that exposee on my alcohol consumption habits... lol


I think its time for some champagne now though as the dollar has rocketed against the yen due to bernanke saying hes not going to print out more dollars to devalue the currency...

Ive taken £120 profit so far, leaving my trade now just 3 buy contracts open again with target of 80.09

 

[spanish89]

And have just short-sold the commodity Coffee at 283.80,
target is set at 271.05.

And market is priced as 0.05 = 1tic


So my target is 240ticks.

 

[spanish89]

Cashed in at 280.05 as soon as i wokeup this morning for an easy £67 profit.


And have just resold again at 283.60, target is 279

Cheers mate, hows t2w going??

Everytime i look at that site it seems to be getting crapper and crapper,
with threads whos last post was in 2009 being on the front page!

Doesn't anyone still use that site daily anymore??

Back to my portfolio...


I nabbed £59 profit from 2nd coffee sell last week,
and again have resold for a 3rd time.

My sell price was 285.26, and ive got a target order set at 282 i think,
although have to double check its exact level when i log into my trading account next.



And my Japanese yen long trade is still open at around break-even,
although the market is still just floating along sideways in a ridiculously tight 20pips range like its been for the last 4weeks now!

Although only a total utter fool would short-sell this market now, as that would basically be choosing to try taking on the Japanese government!
And so im not particularly bothered about having to wait a few days t weeks longer until the BoJ finally intervene again.

Ok im having quite a big problem now,
as the coffee market opened at 8:30am but instantly gapped down,
yet my limit order filled me at a price way higher!!!

(On the tick-by-tick chart it shows a 1second delay,
however on their trading platform it shows the high of the day was 282.20,
but since the previous close was above 285 this means that the opening market price must have been under 282)


On the tick-by-tick chart it shows the opening price being 280.50,
and so with a spread of .70 the 1st buy price of the day including spread should have been 281.20.


However my limit order cashed my trade in at 282.96 (including spread),
even though in the entire trading day so far this price has not been hit.

And also my trade wasn't cashed in instantly, but instead was cashed in at 8:31am!



Ive phoned ETX up, and am now having to wait for them to call me back 'later this morning' once they have looked into this....!!!



Its pissing me off alot though as i should have made atleast £120 profit,
not just the £80 profit that i got.

Especially since if it was the other way around and that had been a stoploss not a limit order, but the market had gapped down, they would have filled the stoploss the worse and actual market price.
