spanish, what spreadbet firm were you with mate? I just opened a few more spreadbet firms to spread my money around. ODL are giving money away to me! They lose their connection and you watch the real market move, and they still fill you even when their prices are wrong. Then their feed comes back and you close it. They've given me 45 pips risk free so far, but im only trading them at £2 per point. Is it the same as your broker? Im tempted to hit them for £20 per point when it next happens. Hope everyones trading's been going well. I caught the whole drop on the ES yesterday night for 140 pips profit, and posted it live in the ES thread Life is good.
did you hit your breakeven yet pocketmoney? i traded the ES a couple of times this week and peek into the ES journal now and then. it looks to be moving very well for traders. edit: oops, disregard that pocket. had you confused with another forumer who pops in here infrequently.
closed out earlier at 48.97, thought i was going to get back in quickly on a retrace but i'm not so sure now. on the sidelines for now.
ah crap, missed the main move down. the first move down i didn't see much increase in volume, which explains the large retrace. looks like people waited till the 2nd move down to really drop this market.
ALoha mate, i use EtxCapital. I duno how other SB firms operate tbh, (i extremely doubt that they do actually do what people think they do and 'dislike' profitable traders though), since i know ETX hedge every single trader regardless of how good or crap the trader is... So they make the same amount of profit every single trade (the spread), regardless of how much you make or lose. Ive never ever had any problems with them though, and if they ever miss-fill you its in your favour! You've been doing really well though mate.. You doing it fulltime for job?? And no i dont work for mi5, since in not a scientist! lol Mi5 have to cover all of the uk, our unit only has to worry about what happens in our 1 little city! Whats it like being stuck in a crappy dull office job though mate??
