hope you held out mate. I dropped a sell in to make £800 before I even got to work. Good start to the day..
Nymex crude. And yea i held out, held right through thouh cos my fucking stuid fucking alarm clock didnt go off again!!!
GRRR!!! Fucking oil just rocketed $1 straight in seconds!! My target levl is at 66.33 so i not especially angry as i wouldnt have cashed in even at the lowest touch earlier, but this endeless line of badluck just fucks me off!! I gna just leave the market to do whats its gna do, leave my target order open, and go back to sleep!! I just hope that this 1day that i have gone short on oil, oil does keep crashing mid day, like it has every other single day for months now, instead of deciding that today its gna start its new rally!!
Given that a previous post said you'd tried to kill yourself twice when your fiancé left you, I'd be grateful for bad luck, otherwise you might have succeeded. Anyway, it's not bad-luck, it's lack of foresight/planning. You knew, or should have done, the hours your spreadbet platform was open. You took the decision that the positives of your chosen s'bet firm outweighed its disadvantages - presumably offsetting the advantages of tax-free 'wins' against proper DMA with oil futures. Well, you've just come up against one of the downsides. Whatever else it is - it's not bad luck Spanish.
And oils back down by that $1, already, barley 1minute after me writing that previous post!! lol :eek: :eek:
Oooh sorry to hear that mate. OIls fallen to within 20ticks of my target...... But i just cant take it cos i want thata extra £100!! I just so sooo much hope that this 1 time that i am being greedy and holding my target that it will pay off
Um k well i took profit as oil dipped down to 66.46 (so i got cashed in at 66.52). But now heres the big deciding factor to see whether it was the right call or not; About 30seconds later oil did dip down and touch the 66.33 level, just as i had said it would an dhad put my target there. However cos i always like to get the most money possible i had put target right on the edge, and so 66.33 was the lowest tick touched, and then oil shot back up to 66.53+. So im not sure if my sb firm would have actually taken the hit at the .33 dip, as it may have recored its lowest tocuh at .34 and so would have missed it. lol Ahh well i took £614 profit from teh trade (after the £60 spread cost!), and didnt have a heart attack and have all the nervousness by going for £65 extra, so im not upset with the result. ALthough i just looked and oil did now just drop down to my 2nd target (the lowest target i would have gone for) of 65.96 (cash in at 66.02). And i really really would have loved that £250 extra!! But i guess theres no point getting angry at myself for this, as like the book says i just have to keep reminding myself that even i dont have a crystal ball and had no way of seeing the future, and so there was no way i could know what it would do... :/
K ive done my counting on the calculator and so far im upto £4,098 profit for this November contract. My dream target was £300 per day (150 ticks at £2 tick), although the £2 per tick got blasted away quite fast and replaced with 4s n 5s!! But dream target was to stabalise at over £6,000 per month (as its all tax exempt itl workout as me having a salary of someone who is on about £116,890 per year! Im also still holding that corn contract, and Hbos is rising AGAIN today! Done over 40% profit in 1week now, and im holding it at £6 per unit still. Ive set my target at 190, so itl be just under £590 profit if i can get that hit before december. (while typing this i cashed in all at 106 for £54 profit, gna try getting back in a few points lower)
