    Rogue trades and Stop losses

    Not quite the issue you are addressing but... On Finspreads, and I assume some other spread betting companies, you can trade on the market price or on their quote. I choose their quote as it usually smooths out these rougue quotes. If you get a 1 off spike, they usually ignore it with their...

    Reduce the Repetiton of 'Basic' Questions & Threads

    Quite right too. This Paddy is from Northern Ireland, and it is a known fact that the folks from here are all well known to be very "Politically" correct. ;) (By the way, it took me three attempts and a round of spell checking to write that last sentence with the words spelt correctly and in...

    Has anyone done the Finspreads learn to trade course?

    If you know nothing about SBing then their seminar they do in conjunction with Click Events and John Bartlett would be a decent choice. If you do know something, then it would be better for you to simply try and learn something about a trading style that takes your interest. Spread Betting is...

    Browser Problems with T2W

    I have a problem with the spell check on the browser built into my RSS programme. Quite simply the Spell Check button does nothing when you press it. - Windows XP Home - RSS Bandit 1.3.0.29 (http://www.rssbandit.org/)

    Browser Problems with T2W

    I had read a post where someone mentioned a problem with their browser and T2W, then I noticed a difficulty that I had myself, so I thought that I would mention it here. Maybe some of the tech guys can make some adjustments, maybe not. But it's worth mentioning. I thought that if some other...

    What's the difference between hope and greed?

    A practical trading example: A trader may be in a trending market and hopes to get a decent move out of it. So, instead of finding an exit point, he or she may put in a stop to exit the position. The stop could be moved along as the trade moves into more and more profit. This way the trader...

    How do we "learn" to take losses and to follow our stop loss?

    Well, this has been interesting JO and Kiwi I appreciate your input and clarification. I didn't explain myself fully in my short answer - a bit like going into a trade without fully understanding why ;) I believe that I understand what you are saying DBP, I read your other post as well as you...

    Reduce the Repetiton of 'Basic' Questions & Threads

    Thanks for that spelling ideas guys! Of course, those of use who have a problem with dyslexia may as well leave now. Things like "Losing trade or Loosing trade" is a real problem when your mind can't tell that there is a problem and your spell checker clears it as OK. Maybe we should also ban...

    How do we "learn" to take losses and to follow our stop loss?

    I think I understand, if so then the reason I have been having difficulty is because it a the basic very thing that a trader 'should' have before putting money into the market. And not some 'added extra' for becoming more advanced. An edge is knowing the reason you enter a particular trade, and...

    How do we "learn" to take losses and to follow our stop loss?

    Hi SOCRATES I have heard a number of people talking about having their 'Edge' but to be honest, I still can quite define what is meant by an Edge. Even reading your post, I still can't quite get it. I have read Trading In The Zone also, but still my mind just can't get around this definition...

    Stop Hunting

    If this board refreshed continually when you posted, these crossovers wouldn't happen so often. Hmm, I think that that is a bit much to as Sharky though :-) Hey Sharky can we have the boards constantly refresh but our 'post' windows stay static whilst we type. Nah, don't think that is going to...

    Stop Hunting

    At 14.52 you get a big un-named bid during a pretty illiquid time. The sellers just aren't there at the moment, so it is probably a ploy. The alleged buyer is trying to act like Big Money and encourage others to join the game by buying at market. As you were thinking of buying yourself, there...
