This afternoon was a churn fest, nothing I was in moved more than a few cents. Basically scratch after commish today. There is no volatility after the first 45 minutes of the trading day, gotta love slow summer markets....
+90 today. Came back from a loss of 105 at the open so i guess it was an ok day. DPH was so incredibly manipulated down today by the spec it was unbelievable. For 20+ cents i yelled at the monitor for someone to give me shares as he threw up artificial 500 lots all the way down. Finally bottomed at i scalped some money out of it. Today was swifttrades first day on london as well. I was negative 11.88, so thats like 20 bucks! I attempted trading OOM and RBS. Totally different and im not sure im going to trade it at all untill i have some sort of real time charting or ftse futures feed. (if ftse futures even exist i dont eve know, underlining why i shouldnt trade it!)
I have read this thread from start to finish, learned a lot of stuff around here. I am only 18, and have a very small bank account as well. I have been trading for about 3 months, have lost a lot, but I can already feel I'm getting better. I have trades stocks, and also got into Forex as well. I would like to aim to at least break even, still not at that point, but I'm getting there. Szeven is a good inspiration to me. I don't really have that much money at all, especially since my father passed away. But, I loved this thread, definately inspirational. I actually have a great mentor that has been helping me greatly, and it is a great thing. Anyways, just like to say I enjoyed the thread, there are too many people that get jealous on here and just want to take down great traders on here. But I hope they do well, because even though they might even be taking my money on a few idiotic trades I made in the very beginning, I respect them and am determined to be profitable as well. I wish to actually be profitable to actually start posting on this thread as well. So, good luck to everyone, just figured I'd throw in my .02 cents after staying up for about 2 hours to read all of this.
i know you have received a lot of flak for your casual posts, but i think they are great it's how it should be - for me. it may not work for everyone, and that's cool. i like it. some day ... keep it up mk (not like you need my permission ) and have a great weekend. take care and gtty - omni
$15 realized not including commish -4.70 unrealized Placed two orders incorrectly while trying to use a another computer(tiny laptop) to trade. I sold when trying to buy and also bought too high. I'm stuck with a position that I have to hold overnight but it shouldn't be a big deal. I hope today will be a good day to hang out with the girls at the pool.
