    lucky to get out with the +3 there gilligullu :)

     

    I am glad I took the effort to change the stop before I left! Nearly got eaten alive!

     

    Why didn't the market fall when I shorted this morning..... I didn't like Fridays, I am starting to dislike Thursdays as well.....:angry::o

    Anyway its better than me trying to short the market the whole morning.....

     

    Long DOw cash 11319, stop 280, looking for 400.

     

    Sorry, was in meeting just now, moved the stop to break even before I left. Out at +3. Very confused with this spread betting thing. Doesn't go in the price I set, and doesn't come out the price I set..........

    I have the same problem with spread betting. A trading method that consistently wins with futures just doesn't work with SB, partly because of the platform, partly because of the increased spread, partly because of the devious tactics they use. Better to just pay the commission and tax --assuming you make a profit!

     

    Bit late now because the offer stops tomorrow, but ODL have had zero spread on FTSE for a month or two.

     

    None of my business, but which DA broker do you use, btw?

     

    Yea, I agree. The SB method needs getting used to and i feel a bit cheated everytime I open a position with them stealing some poitns off me. But I am only doing very small bets to practice, so it doesn't matter.

     

    I use Interactive Brokers, I think they are quite good.

    If wrong I am in good Company...

     

     

    btw .3? whassat all about..

    my broker justs rounds against me...lol

     

    Yup .3 ...... I have just opened a spread bet account to have a play around at smaller mutlipliers. Not doing too well lately, even the e-minis are getting a bit pricey.

     

    But the spread difference on spread betting is so big, I have lost like 3-5 points just from the spread as soon as I open a position........

    They are celebrating they got something correct! LOL

     

    It has been happening the last few months, when data comes out better or in line with prediction, the market rally, as the worst has already been factored in and is correcting itself.

    I believe flat for a while, then it will break up a few hundred points over one or two weeks. Then start diving again.

     

    Cannot really give any number, have not been doing much hw during the holidays.

    Hello boys,

     

    Just came back from Hong Kong and this place seemed pretty quiet for the last few weeks. Hope everyone is doing well.

     

    Over the holidays I have been thinking about going full time, but I was hoping to go into a firm or arcade so I can get some mentoring. I was wondering what did you guys considered and what do you find to be the most difficult in trading full time?

     

    Would also appreciate if you guy could give some names or firms that you need is hiring, as I have sent out a few CVs and have heard nothing back. Its making me very sad....:smoking:LOL

     

    Cheers,

    Matt
