Just got off the phone with my platinum contact at WS......doesn't look great right now No reason to think the FSA deposit insurance won't stand, but could be a long and drawn out process. Had to decide whether to close my open positions....thought it was taking the **** to try to make money...

Does no one here have a WS account? I have an IG account with a 2 point spread and a CMC with 0.7, was wondering what WS have as I was considering switching.

Hi Could someone with a WS account tell me what the Dow spread is during US trading hours?? Doesn't say on their website. Thanks C

Hi Guys Up until now I have mainly traded futures, have done fairly well. Looking to branch out a bit and trade some options, mainly the currency options on Philly exchange. My questions are these: 1. Does the order book for the options work in a similar way to a futures DOM view? 2. Can...

Its pretty standard that if you don't meet a margin call, your positions will be closed. Admittedly, they could have called you before closing such a large position, but it is your responsibility to keep an eye on your margin!! Did you not think it might be getting close?

Today's progress. I have put in a good 6 hours on this today and I am now up to 23 seconds. The hard work is paying off. I am hopelessly addicted to this game and it has begun to take over my life. I will not stop until I reach 26 seconds like Masquerade says we should be able to!

UPDATE: Four hours and a bottle of wine later, I am on 18 seconds. The practise made me better, the wine made me worse. I will hit this again tomorrow and let you all know the progress. I really feel that I have the potential to be great at this, so any support or advice would be appreciated...

I refuse to believe that anyone can make it to 26 seconds. I can only make it to 12 seconds, do I stand a chance of being a good trader?

Chips and gravy are indeed an excellent combo, but bisto is crap

Fight!!!!!!!
