im sure i woulndt be alone in appreciating if you were to keep us updated. :thumbsup:

far better off being the latter. just enjoy your life and women come and go. eventually you will find your woman.

shouldnt one plan the trade beforehand and then trade that plan? if i were to remain in a position longer than i anticipated (it shot further than i thought) then i would use trailing stops after taking half off the table. personally i like 2 or 3 day holds but have held as long as a fortnight...

i got your point on guaranteed trailing stops. i guess id have to be in slightly longer trades (over a couple of days) and/or trade what i can play with when i get home (us equities). dont worry, i wont be using all my capital but only a small amount on any one trade. one thing i did learn...

there are certain variables that dont require a personal opinion but more of what is fact. ie one could state wide spreads, slow execution, slow platform. one would then of course have to state personal opinions but be clear about it. an example would be in charting software ie. "in my opinion...

i consider myself new to trading although i have paper traded on and off for about 5 years. I cant open any accounts but spread betting ones simply because i lack the capital. commisions would eat any tiny profit i could make. that is why spread betting appealed to me. im currently putting away...

My name is mark. Did paper trading up to a couple of years back (whilst living in malta) and was ok at it. dont have the capital to do it for real but i did enjoy it. I would like to start spread betting or something soon though. winters are toooo long here.

im looking at opening a spread betting account rather than stock trading account as i dont have a great deal of capital spare to trade at the moment. One company I was looking at -because of the general good views of members here- is IG, but do they offer GUARANTEED trailing stop losses? I cant...

is there one of those 'back to topic' emotes anywhere? i was enjoying the thread. I never understood why people with such great systems would choose to advise through literature.....then again it could be an ego trip for some. stuck behind a monitor all day can be detrimental to ones mental health.

I had tried this software in the past and found it pretty good for stock trading (imho). I used to back test stocks and then optimise indicators. Although I had only used it for paper trading, I had an account fall from $100k to $78k (before using the software features) and then back up to...

Hi all, I registered on this site because I too received an email from the company. Although expensive, It did look attractive, but also too good to be true. I sent of for an info pack which looks very well presented. To be honest I have been mulling over spread betting or stock trading of...
