Thanks for your reply.. Just spoke with the dealers at CMC and this is how they adjust at rollovers, to account for the 'volatilty of the instrumet' Usually their spread is +/- 0.015 so if NG trades at 4.91 , there spread is 4.90/3 At rollever they take the closing price to be the ' actual...

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can help. I had a long postition in Natural Gas ,October contract with a company trading CFD's. (I wont reveal their name as i am still awaiting a reply from their Customer service) They rolled it over on friday (25th) but at a price that was never traded for...

Yeah fxjake, the news made it over here..farmers used to say 'red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in the morning shepherd's warning....' maybe someone out there is using this phenomenon as a market prognostication..'red sky 24/7, future fx bloodbath!' Lol:lol: ps i really like this...

Thanks for the reply. I think i'm beginning to learn something. GBPJPY - daily TF setup from yesterday triggered your entry? i missed this one, but may look to enter on an Inside bar above 15050 minor s/r level..with targets very similar to yours

USDCAD trade Hi FX jake, I've been following your thread for a while now and appreciate the time and effort you give sharing your trades. I'm new to technical FX trading and have never copied your trades until this one as it matched my setup exactly. I drew my s/r levels by eye and looked...

Thoughts for w/b 29th June 2009 Trading is a tricky game with enough traps and pitfalls to be thrown in your path; only time, patience and experience helps you avoid them. The markets try their best to confuse you and take back all the money they have given you, yet at all times you must remain...

Thoughts for w/b 22nd June 2009 Well, on Friday the DJIA sold off to close below 8588, as did soft commodities, base metals rose and the GBP had a strong day too. Not a great deal of movement in the prices in actual fact. Seems like i'll be waiting for Monday to see what happens. My CSI is...

Thoughts for 19th June 2009 OK, let's get straight to the action. STOCKS & INDICES I went short at 8570 (DJIA @ 20:20 GMT, chart below). The industrials did indeed rally to 8588 and i entered a short as my Buying Selling Gauge (BSG) posted +4 to the sellers with my CSI still hovering at its...

Thoughts for 18th June 2009 I knew this week would be eventful and it's only Wednesday. After 5 days of falls finally some support came in for the GRAINS. WHEAT bounced off 555 (100 day MA) but is still below 570. Corn rallied from 400 and closed 408. Oats finshed at 214 and Rough rice fell...

Thoughts for 17th June 2009 Just a quick note today. Support was lost for the DJIA, SPX and FTSE250. The shorts implemented have moved straight into profit. Gold stocks rebounded giving extra protection. Grains held on, although very tentatively. Nickel, zinc and natural gas all rose. A...

Thoughts for 16th June 2009 Everything took a bit of a beating today. Stocks and commodities, gold, metals you name it..(well actually treasuries bucked the general sell off and actually finished up for the day), but on the whole is definately a red day for me. Mind you it could have been...

Thoughts for the w/b 15th June 2009 Dear readers, What are the markets waiting for? Just where is the next bubble being blown? Which asset class is going to contnue its march up and which is going to fail? As we know, a market consists of the sum total knowledge and expectations of all its...

Thoughts for 12th June 2009 I am so glad i've put the stock and indices part of my porfolio on the back burner and been aggressive with industrial commodities. While stocks deliberated where they will go, NICKEL and ZINC keep soaring. I have had position in both of these since march and dont...

Thoughts for 10th June 2009 Another interesting day but where to start? I think i'll make today's post a bit charty. Pictures paint a thousand words.. STOCKS & INDICES It feels like the markets are still gearing up for a decisive move (in either direction) and today was another day in...

Thoughts for 9th June 2009 Welcome to new readers and old. Thanks for the kind messages so lets get on.. We started the day with a sell off in GRAINS and we are actually below where i entered the new positions. Wheat has fallen to 598 which is right on the MSL level, and i;m tempted to add...
