me too hit again by the 'bug'! Sharky, hope you have my emails re: TWT. As with COL, it was the victim of limit order being taken at wrong price: I need it either completely cancelled as a purchase, or sell them at the intended 2.5 for me please ta very much ... I'm going to steer clear of those...

No wonder no-one else has heard of him! I can remember Johnny Ray; he was not a bad singer, and I have heard reasonable comments about izzy too. Dogs are more fun when your'e only 5.

welcome aboard! I'm quite new too; this is the first month I started to treat the game more seriously, to support my real trading. Its useful to try out different 'what if..' possibilities. izzy bonn.. was he in the late 40's/early 50's? My nickname is based on his name; but you've got the...

tell you what, guys, I'll leave £200k as a target for the next comp. Reasonable? I'll probably lose it anyway if I put it all on anything tomorrow. I hate Fridays!

yes; i may do; it'd be quite easy, wouldn't it? putting 196k on vodafone!!? I was doing that overnight from yesterday, but had to go out to my other studio for a while; don't like taking my eye off it, and haven't got my mobile/sms set up yet. But its only a game! (Did a 53.1% for real...

YES, I DO but of course usually you can't buy many in one go (or sell them that way either!)

sorry mate, I didnt realise. I don't know where I saw it - but it's certainly a brilliant maxim to keep in mind all day

izziebon (i don't usually post much) but a bit of chat on 'secular world' thread

steady, on chaps; adulation?! I dont need that... but thanks for the sentiment. I have the advantage of time during the day, of course. If any of you can pass on tips from tomorrows Barbican bash, it 'd be appreciated; especially the 'how to spot shares that are about to tumble; that sounds...

Final paragrafff; I should point out that I use Updata Trader 'Pro' II which I've had for 2 yrs. Build 340, 32-bit on Pent 4 dual monitor, scsi etc etc... [absolute rubbish compared to the Mac]. I like the look of it, but its really not very good; lines on charts go missing, charts are crude...

.. I wait for the third drop in price! Having got caught out a year or so back with Alphameric, which dropped like a stone and then (after I'd bought some for real) it drooooooooooooooopped even more, and I held on in vain for months!!... I look at the intraday spread chart and wait usually for...

buying at the right price; (having found a likely candidate) Assuming that I'm happy that the 'loser' is actually the victim of massive overreaction (and surprisingly there's one almost every day at the moment!), then I wait for (now heres the secret.... (see next post after I've had my tea)

right- stand back- heres some words of wisdom (not!); thanks for your interest in my trading system. Firstly, Topnotch is just one of several high percentage shares I've had recently; others were MyTravel, NSB, Spirent, CPO, and others. I found them generally by subscribing to ADVFN premium...

No probs with Vodafone this time! I'm treading on eggshells with it; (lost 3 or 4 lots of vod last game); trying to avoid it altogether if possible, but I may experiment a bit with small amounts, to identify the cause of prob. I've changed data mining system, and having more success, also on...

don't know, I'm afraid. I keep my own chart note of every trade entered, with the intended next action/options. One of these trades was due to sell at 98p later in the day, which it did reach. I only noticed the error later in day, when nearing the sell point. Can't think of any explanation...
