Apples..

I agree, the costs of trading (effectively 2 points on each trade) negate the benefit of the edge. This was my question earlier this morning….Is you edge sufficient to return a net profit over a series of trades.

I’m looking for a far bigger edge than the 3 or 4 points which we’ve been discussing. Call me greedy but I’m looking for 20 or 30 plus! The calculations on that FTSE bet I outlined earlier on must be up above 30 I would have thought. That’s the kind I’m interested in. That way dealing costs and money management, not to mention basic psychology, become far easier. The problem is that those bigger wins will always draw attention from the bookies. Because of that you really need more than just one or two strategies otherwise they can easily work out the system you are playing. The more you vary your game plan the harder it is for them to figure out the individual strategies. One of the larger spreadbetting firms told me that they rely on certain punters to spot potential problems in their system.

I’d love to get my hands on the algorithms which these companies are using. I’ve compared a few prices and generally they seem very much in line. That suggests to me that they are more than likely to be using purely mathematical method to calculate their prices as apposed to a differing price matrix system dependant on what type of day it is.

Steve.

Steve.

They use the same model through the day, just shift the implied volatility as they see the market progressing. The IG logarithm seems more sophisticated that the binexx one in that you get small shifts in price on the FTSE even when there is no move on the FTSE Future and when there is still a long time to expiry (thus its not time decay). I think they link in Dow,Dax,Cac prices into it.

when binary get unsure on their prices (like today on the <-12.5pts at 16:26) they just show no prices!! No algorithm needed for that !!

Hi Sorry, yes you need the ip of your home machine. You can find this using a dos box and typing ipconfig. Properties on the network connection also does it in XP I believe.

thought so, what do I do in the office to get the remote access? I'm guessing I'll need admin rights on my pc, which I don't have, but await details . . . . . .
oh, by the way, I'm on XP at home - your instructions y'day didn't tally with what happened . . . .

Just to go back to the original post for a second . .. .. ..

I dealt on the hourly expiring at 12:30 at 12:04, that was the last trade on the product . . .. . .

You can do hourlies on IG/Binary (settle to cash) and I think on Finspreads now as well.

You should have access to the remote desktop or terminal server client from any user. If not download it from MS. Did you not find the option to enable Remote Desktop in the My Computer Properties on your home machine/
