damn it, oil made its move while i was asleep again. i was waiting for it to break 54, but i guess i should've set a sell order in.
gold has dropped off quite fast. i just bought 1 at 871.50, stop 868. i used to trade it everyday, but lately it just hasn't been making much sense at all. >moved stop to b/e and got stopped out in gold.
hi, i've been luking in this thread for a while, gonna start trading oil on ig index, any tips i should know??
hi cloud, how long have you traded for? down 500 today, making very stupid mistakes. going to try to catch oil here when it goes back up. let's see if it breaks 50.
Afternoon ladies!! I have some extremely good news.... I never ever ''need'' to trade again now, since i got a job. I had applied last week for it as just 1 of the 100s i was applying for weekly, but the manager when he saw my CV he saw the school i had gone to and its the partner school of the school his daughter goes to. (its a very small, and extremely strict tough military discipline all boys school) And so even though i didnt have the securityqualifications needed he invited me along because of my old school. It was a very informal complicated sorta interview, but lasted from 10.45 t 2.45, and had 3 parts to it. But the end result was that even though the job vacancy tht id applied for he had given to someone who already has the PSS license, he created another vacancy for me because he liked me so much and wanted me to work for them... I have to do 1 training course that il pay £250 for, and then theres the more specilaised one that they pay £3,000 for me to go on. But i start working and training on the job starting from tomorrow.. And my title is a PSO (public security officer). We basically work alongside the police, they have a room nextdoor to ours but they cant come in our room without a court warrant and we cant go in theirs. And our role is that we specialise in surveilance, as we have the whole county covered in cameras that we control from our centre, And we provide security to the public by watching the city for any crimes or dodgy activity and then if we see any we record it on the camera and either alert the police centre to make the arrest if they are nearby, or we go out and arrest the person and detain them till police arrive. (we can only hold someone there for 30minutes) However since we work for the government and not the policeforce we have powers of surveilance that the police cant do, like if we see some dodgy activity going on we are allowed to go out and follow the person to watch what they are doing for as long as we need to, wheras the police cant just stalk someone around cos they would them get done for victimising and harrasment of the person, and the police woud get noticed anyways cos they have uniform, but we wear suits so just blend in. And the hours are quite flexible, since theres a team of 16 of us, and so theres a general rota of day/night shifts, and each shift is for 12hours. However you can basically start and finish work anywhere between min 6hours to upto 16hours work straight, providing theres always minimum 6people on duty. (You would only get paid for the hours you work, and im gna try doing 60hours+ per week, but it means that i can start at 6.45 and work till 5.45, leave and get home by 7pm and then enter my trade in the last 30mins) So back to trading- I will still be trading and calling all trades live in here, but since the market is so slow moving now and the new trading method that ive been using doesnt require me to be there apart from for the entry, and the rule is i will ONLY EVER make a sell trade if its the last 3ominutes of trading for the day, the market is up over 5% for the day, and will have had to have closed up atleast 5% the day before too. And vice versa for buy trades, only will be entering longs at the close of 2nd day, after 2 straight days of fall with atleast a 10% drop in those 2days combined. And then my entery will just be automatically set for the next day.
