  5. Well done mate.. :)

    You didnt cash in on the oil crashes today though??

    I wanted to get in on the morning 1, but was sleeping till too late. :(
    (It took me out of 100 loss to a £35 profitable trade atleast though) lol


    And then i continued attacking the market like yesterday, doing £2 tick trades as we were about to go below $102, but closed off too early at support at 101.08 area.

    Made £50 of a scalp trying to call the top of that spike, used 30tick s/l, but cashed in too early at 2nd support level. :(


    But im now annoyed cos i jumped in trying to hop on the bandwagon, from the the 100.90s, with a £2 tick trade, that at point was in over £100 profit at 100.40s but i thought itd crash more,
    and then as market was going back up i though it was gna crash so took a £1 sell from 100.87.. :(


    Ive got enough capital to put the stoploss at 107/8 for all 3 contracts, so il be safe as long as we dont see any nonsense from oil like it trying to rise ablove 104/5 area.


    But im very sad n upset, cos whenever i don't make the chasing trade, the market crashes $1-3s and i miss out on all that money that i need.

    But when i do make it, it always then ends up becoming a sell from the very lowest dip of the day (this is only clear after its up 80-100cents though).

    :( :( :(


    SO now i dont get to whack on another £2tick trade from the mid 102s and cash in 400+ when we hit 100....,
    intead have to sit here like and just watch+hope the market winds itself back down below 101, so i can just atleast confirm and keep my profit from earlier!! :( :(

  9. Where you enterd??

    And you going for the low/mid 100 level?? ;)


    Btw can i ask what technique/skill you use for accurately judging, when oil is on a vertical spike and moving 20cents per second, when it stops for abit to workout whether its a temorary pause,
    or the spikes over, and time for pullback trend to come??
