dude, he just wants the links. Don't quote him!

Hey Nigel, Why don't you just make your trade with a trailing stop = to the maximum you're willing to lose. It'll stop out your losses and ride your winners till they correct by the same about?

looking at my spread betting account I can see I've been debited for Financing & Adjustments. I figure financing is the loan, i.e. interest payments on the borrowed money. But what is an 'Adjustment'???

Thanks for the thread domgilberto1989. How are you going towards your target? Btw, I don't get the haters om his thread, why do you need they act like this?

Yeah it is important. I don't have a broker, I go direct to GFT, I think.

Hi Guys. I have assumed that any trailing stop I entered worked 24/7 (during trading hours) But I've just read that the trailing stop only works when I have my software running, is this correct? Thanks in advance

Trading. But not 100% sure how to capitalise on my research

Well I've my opions formed on the Market through research. I'm very sure of what I think is going to happen. Aussie property going down and bank going to suffer Aussie carry trade going to hurt as RBA holds interest rates Money going back to home countries Aussie banks borrow too much overseas...

Bah. I'm going for it. Only betting a few hundred in risk here. Gone for the stop but with trailing 100 points behind. So hopefully my order gets placed before the carnage stops. Of course I could be totally wrong on the next move ;)

I wanted to remove the risk of becoming an 'minute trader' Make my bet, Aussie banks going lower tomorrow and go to sleep :D

Cheers Jack. Hadn't considered that my stop order might get filled much lower.

Hi Experts. I'm a newbie and have been trading while the markets are open. But I want to short some Aussie banks on tomorrow open in the ASX. If I want to set this bet now I know I want to 'sell' first but do I place my order as a 'stop' or 'limit' ? Take ANZ.ax it closed at a sell price...

just found gftuk.com so going to give that a try

I'm in the UK and keen to spread bet on CBA, NAB, ANZ but I can't find a platform that will allow this. CMC Markets and igindex have Australian versions but I want to do this from the UK. Anyone have any advice on who provides this service? thanks
