Yes Dan, i went short from just under the 15m 20 (little 123 on 5m chart), banked at 68 then 62 for 30 pips, very cautious after getting fingers burnt on 'double top' earlier. Then long from 73 but was very uncomfortable with the trade and bailed out for 10 pips. :cry: All good fun. Al

Hi all, Not a lot happening this morning for me so I guess that's me done for the week. It's been a real learning week (big curve!) with plenty of trades taken, some lovely gains and a rash of small losers. So, at the end of my third week in the Liveroom I've learnt loads (again), my bank's...

Just got a call from ODL spreadbetting looking for me to start using the account that I have with them. They said, fund your account today with £250 and we'll send you an ipod shuffle for free, bargain! I thought, 'why not?', I can give it a go alongside ig happy me :cheesy: Al

Nasty habit! Hi all, I seem to have developed a nasty habit of losing my hard-won morning liveroom pips in the afternoon (on my own). Must stop this! I have now realised that the hourly chart doesn't just give direction but really clear levels of support and resistance to trade from and...

What a start to my 3rd week in the liveroom! I have to admit that I wouldn't have seen the potential in this morning's cable trade on my own (not yet anyway) but Dan called it perfectly all the way along. I went in a little later than some at 14606 (50% stake) and banked at 14592 for a few...

Hi all, Went short on cable last night at 14665, banked half and moved SL at 14623 this morning and banked the rest at 14565 giving me my very first 100 pip trade, hurray! Thanks guys, Al

Thanks Dan, your comments are very helpful and much appreciated. Al

aaarrgh, nice 20 pips on euro this am, looked at cable but didn't fancy being in both, then lost 30 pips trying to pre-empt the cable bounce (twice), gutted! Lesson learned, patience, patience, patience! Al

Hi Sam, I'm pretty new to this myself but can't fault IG Index so far if it's spreadbetting you're into. My wife Julie uses IG and ODL and also rates Finspreads. Hope this helps. Regards, Al

Hi all, Well, it's been an interesting first week in the liveroom for me! Really enjoyed winning a few pips and it's telling that when I have lost pips it's been out of the room and with hindsight I can see exactly where I've gone wrong (eg. shorting cable again after a minor retracement...

Second day in the room and very happy with my 47 pips on euro and cable. Stopped out on cable but I'd banked half and was on a free trade by then. Thanks Dan and Co, see in the Monkey School later. Al
