Well I'm still taking a bit of a loss on my trades, I'm down probably £400 on £2k invested. That's pretty awful for 2 weeks trading, but these are tough times I guess. I'm almost certainly over-trading and with commission at £9.95 on both buy and sell + stamp duty - I have to make up a lot of...

Tomorton, Thanks for your input, it has really helped me avoid losing a lot of money this week.

Hi guys, a quick one before the market opens if possible!:cry: How do I set up a stop in E-trade. I can only see LIMIT, but that will sell my shares above a certain point won't it? THere must be a way to stop in there somewhere.

Cool, how much for a roll of Battery Seperator mat? Is it soft? I ws thinking of building a hammock.

With Level 2?

Anyone here fancy connecting up using Skype? I just thought maybe there may some collective advantage if some of us shared info over Skype. any takers?

Ah, gotcha. Tomorton, Thanks, I've got Marc Riviland on order, but baulked at Street Smarts for now as it is so expensive. I'm sure it's worth the cover price, but it represents 10% of my investment! I will get it eventually if I don't lose all my moneyu in the short term :eek:. I just want...

What bad news is the market ignoring? It's been bad news for the past year and markets have declined. Indicating that the market has been listening. We've had good news (depending on your viewpoint) this last week. What happens if the market starts ignoring good news? How do you think the market...

Tom, I can see I'm in good hands here. This sounds like mature advice. I can't short at the moment, I'm trading with BARX until I find something better. I've set up an E-trade account which will take a few days to clear. Taking a small position is my only option at the moment as I only have 1k...

Sounds like good advice, but how do you know when you hit the real bottom. What are the signs? I wonder how experienced guys play the market at times like these. Do you speculate or watch for patterns? Are flag patterns and head and shoulder patterns etc. (you can see I'm still quite...

I'm just in on trading so these are exciting times, but also tricky for a newbie like me. From what I read, the market sounds quite positive in general, and yes, the market is incredibly low. If a fresh pair of eyes has any worth, I think there's some way to drop yet, but this week should see a...

I'm curious to know if anyone has HBOS lined up for a big Monday morning trade. To me it seems like a bit of a Gamble, as you never know what's going to happen next, but the 700bn deal must be positive for the banking sector at teh moment. Buy Hold or Sell?

NEw Barclays Marketmaster trader losing money Hi all, I've done about 10 trades in the past 3 days and lost about £100 on £1000 invested. I'm getting hammered by the £12.95 trading cost and looking around for something with level 2 trading and trend charting and want to learn some skills fom...
