  1. ............... winning day
  2. cool thread. Shame it seemed to die off. Brownsfan: You still trading and and doing well? I imagine so. You seemed to have this sussed. Denirotrader: Very interesting. Are you LIVE or on SIM at the moment? Any idea why you seemed unable to replicate your SIM success on a live account? I know that some SIM platforms give you fills you would otherwise be unable to get etc, but that shouldn't matter to you considering the number of ticks your average profit and losses seem to be. Was it just a matter of being unable to folow your plan when live due to emotions?? This is mine today. Note that this is a SIM account, although I do trade live (but at very very small size) I simply place all of my live trades on a SIM seconds after because I like the features in nijatrader where you can analyse results etc. +43 PIPS
  3. where do you live? What instruments do you wish to trade? Do you require the ability to use custom indicators / charts etc etc? Personally I like RBSmarketindex. IGindex are popular. Tradefair are good in terms of execution but platform is a little basic. 'New kid on the block' is 'smartlive' who use metatrader platform
  4. Its great for swing trading. Intraday trading, the spreads can make turning a profit too hard, but people make money of they are good at trading, and can trade something like GBPUSD which generally has only a 2pip spread on spreadbet platforms. As for daytrading shares, unfortunately not! Id LOVE to daytrade stocks, as when I demo trade them using direct access platfroms I make 'money' nearly everyday for months at a time. Unfortunately, the spreads on stocks at spreadbet firms just aren't acceptable. Sometimes the spread of a stock can be 1c trading direct and 12c trading through a spreadbet firm. Fine for swing trading stocks though
  5. Some people trade soley from the simplest spreadsheet you could imagine

    The Race

    I've opened a little account with smartlive (UK spreadbet firm) I'll mainly be TRYING to trade GBPUSD and SPX I'll be trading at miniscule stakes. Probably 20pence per point or so, so as to stop me blowing up too quickly! I started with £300 the other week and I managed to get it near £500, but then couldn't seem to put a foot right and am back to about where I started again now! I want to get the account back to near its 'high' and then join you with the daily blotters, but getting back to the high might just be wishful thinking!

    Keep it up Attila. Loving your spirit. I keep wanting to join you in posting, but I really want to get my recently funded mini account upto about £500 before I begin posting, I guess mainly for psychological reasons. Im trying to learn to trade and I feel that posting my daily blotters would help maintain my discipline Good luck
