    SW London pub meet

    SN, Thanks for the text, but think I will have to pass due to not meeting the requirements. I understand the point re: not wanting to spend too much time with tire kickers, however tend to take the view that you cant be too prescriptive about these sort of things. All the best GW

    Any detectives here?

    Class.... Spanish - FYI...the ABC icon with the tick on it...it can be pretty useful on the spelling front. Just a suggestion, no response required.

    Any detectives here?

    I agree, being a relatively new member, I had always assumed that a Veteran member came with some weight, rather then simply being attributed to anyone who has plenty of posts to the site. I think it is a shame, as a new member I have read a lot of content from the Vets. I would think a more...

    Any detectives here?

    Spanish cannot be for real in my view...I tend to think it is a bored ex Hedge Fund Partner who enjoys winding us all up. Surely no one could be this dim? It's just too good to be true...a scam artist living in Staines, drinking whilst he trades, advising new traders, borrowing money off his...

    Whilst I wouldn't advocate 'gambling', if you are an inexperienced trader who is set on trading crude, you could have taken a straddle, i.e. went long and short with very tight stops, just prior to the stockpile report today. If you had done this with a rolling stop you could have seen plenty...

    As I said last week...$150 written all over it. Those new to trading crude should ask themselves why all of those with experience have exited posting on this forum for now. This level of volatility is not for newbies. Ask yourself whether you can articulate why you will enter the trade before...

    Well, I will just have to bow to your superior knowledge on this one...what would analysts at ML, GS etc know anyway huh... I guess my years working for an Investment Bank have been somewhat wasted afterall... I dont know TWI and co from a bar of soap, but for you new comers out there, I would...

    Dear o dear... I am sure the old hands are finding this whole thread somewhat amusing. I especially liked the 'margin' explanation. For those who are new to oil, please for the sake of your account, take care. This is a wild market at the moment and can chew you up in a heartbeat. No...

    Hmmm, a tough one and one probably better suited to those with more scars than I have, but, my personal approach is relatively classic, i.e. I try to limit the exposure on any one trade to 2-3%, i.e. I manage my risk using stops and calculate my maximum loss upfront, which tends to dictate the...

    Just a general piece of advice for those not in the experienced trader bucket...I personally spend a good amount of time listening to the opinions of the experts here...watch the videos, they give you a good view, which aids in forming your own opinion. Oil Prices: Oil Closes Near $137 as...
