In a nut shell. If the stock is up there is a demand for it so people are willing to pay more for the stock. If the stock is down the people are willing to sell at a lower price just to get shut of there holding. The stock market is a zero sum game. For every buyer there has to be a seller...

The point being before anyone posts and tells me that PRU's spread is worst than LLOYD. My mind is now tuned into trading PRU instead of something like the increase in spread charges upsetting me as if I traded LLOYds I would only blame the increased spread if the trade went against me. You...

Well thats a different matter Trender. I have to be honest I trade with CMC. I was trading LLOYDs and doing very well at trading it. Only last week they changed there spread from 0.25p to 0.5p thats 0.0005%, Now I dont trade it and moved to trade the PRU with a spread of 1p. The point being...

Ive just read the documentation on the Fins website. This 0.25% is for longs which are rolled over to the next week,this is basically interest for lending the stock as you have the stock on margin. If how ever you roll over a short position you will recieve 0.25% this is money owed to you by...

BSKY looking at the monthly & weekly charts its in a up trend. On the daily chart its now in a down trend so its up to you whether you jump in now. I would set a stop loss @ 620. I would rather long this above 700 when its more bullish with a view of it getting to 1000. The saying goes buy...

I agree with Morris the Spread for DJI is 5 pts with CMC, therefore using 5/8511 x 100 =0.06% spread. There you cannot blame the spread it has to be your trading method, the very nature of the stock markets is that the majority 90% lose their money. Trading the futures is no different, your'e...

This is my first post so hopefully it should attach a chart. I see a consoldation in the price on Monday as the people who bought in at the bottom will want to lock into profit. I would not be taking a fresh long as my stop would be to far away from the price ( Stop @2115 ). For Tuesday it...
