Glad i have found this resource, felt alone for weeks now, trying my second return to spreadbetting. first trade was a disaster, going long sometime in 2001, on the day of the biggest fall. just bad luck??
Im a proffesional Optometrist, earn a decent living, but have ambitions to steadily replace my income, passively. My wife and i hope to build cashpot for a move to austraila in 12-18 months.
Enticed by the 4 trades offer £85 pounds on paddy power, i have opened two accounts and been trading. mixed results so far, losses and wins and panicked closes (would have come right if i was patient). Even a trade in the wrong direction, due to click error
started with £200, would eventually but more in. total invested so far £750
as of today £300 balance.
my style has involved looking at the peaks and troughs and buying or selling at reverse, only small amounts 1 per trade. happy to take a small profit anywhere between 20-50 pounds.
most of losses have been on binary bets short term ftse future bets, touch, hour level etc. £200 loss today on brent futures aug. stop loss activated.
anyway i have a few questions if anyone can help.
1) paddy power awful?? large spreads?? poor trading platform, the java script issues is old and doesnt respond quickly. sometimes closing trades not excuted, and only seem to do so, in there favour.
2) suggest best platform, including new sign up offers
3) will be using a htc touch 3g phone. or considering buying a small netbook 10 inch samsung nc10.
both so i can trade inbetween seeing patients, when im working
4) need strategy recomendations - specifcally day trades, for small profits.
theory of compounding, each small trade won will build cash pot.
briefly looked at the fibonacci trends- as potential strategy, any comments.
5) plenty of info on here, but overwhelming, a links to BEST posts considering above. no time to read them all.
thanks in advance.
(frowns on smiley use) lol and abbreviations.
