  1. Just cashed this piece of shit at 89.03 for £89 net profit!! :D :cool: :p


    I duno why (or rather what exactly) but something about this market's formation just didn't/doesn't look right to me on the 5min-30min chart.

    The market has just shot up 13ticks mere seconds after me cashing in the trade,
    and so im extremely pleased with it. :)



    And oil will have to do something spectacular for me to reconsider selling it today. :cool:

  2. *Sigh*

    Just looked at chart, and even though after i cashed in the market rose for a few hours back upto 89.34,
    it then started falling, dropping all the way down to 87.63 by late morning! :/

    So if id left the trade id have made about £200 more profit! :mad:


    Something about the market just didn't look right though.. :/

  3. Just bought Arabica Coffee at 269.65 as market crashed over 5% in vertical line on Friday,
    and so is going to bounce back now.

  4. Just cashed in my trade at 271.42


    Id set profit target at 272.10 and turned laptop off,
    but i kept thinking about the market so came back on, and cashed-in this trade slightly too soon i think.

    But still some more very easy decent cash profit. :)

  5. Turns out it was an excellent exit,
    as market has dropped all the way back to barely above 270 just minutes after now! :)


    Im going to potentially rebuy this if it falls much more.

  7. Just got back home from work as have seen that my Jp Morgan buy was an excellently timed and priced trade,
    as the market rose from my buy price to close the day at 3,243.

    So already 50points profit,
    although ive held the trade overnight, and so now amd just hoping that Jp Morgan opens up a few % more at 2:30pm so i can cash in at over 3,300! :D :cool: :p

  8. Cashed in the trade 30seconds after the market opended at 3285,
    so for 90points profit (just 10 short of my initial price target).

    So an extremely nice and easy £130 cash profit, ontop of the £46 profit i made yesterday morning from my Coffee buy,
    means a very nice £176 profit for yesterday. :D


    (And thats after having withdrawn my account capital down to just £1,650)

  9. I bought Aud/Usd at 1.0188, cashed in just 3mins later at 1.0202 for a very pleasing £24 profit whilst i had been making my morning coffee.. :)

    I rebought at 1.0199, have set target order at 1.0277.


    I made this trade because Aud/Usd has crashed a ridiculous amount over last 2days in way too vertical a line to be able to hold,
    plus the 1.086 is very very strong resistance level on the yearly chart, and so an easy buy.
