i'm pretty sure this isn't what you're asking as it's futures only... but will dump it here in case someone else searching for open interest finds it useful. http://liffe.com/data/dfut090416.txt FTSE 100 future is 3/4 way down, open interest is far right column, it gives the OI change to...

lol yep! 19th september, front month might have been 30 ticks but the rest of the curve got really hammered like today. Appears some of their reds got to 150 off.

incredible, think that was bigger than the eurodollar move a while back?

can only assume this was a false rumour, not heard it mentioned anywhere else :(

don't get me started on HP monitors... Out of 100 assorted HP1702's, 1720's & 1730's < 3 years 10 failures (they were replaced next day under warranty) 3 - 3.5 years 15 failures 3.5 - present 15 failures so far. 40% failure rate so far, i'm pretty sure there's a conspiracy here and i've...

hehehe, although i'd have to argue that the Exchanges are the ones in possession of the holy-grail!

Sounds like you should have a daily pnl stop. or say to yourself, "if i ever get a print of £X down, i'm to exit the current pos as well as is possible, and only continue trading with minimum size until the following day" i've found that when suffering from 'the mist', any poorly executed...

i also encounter resistance levels in my account, the best way i find to handle them is to cut my size down, wait and wait and wait for a moment of clarity and then increase my size back up to obliterate the level. Resistance then becomes support :-) But then, i don't have 'a definable system'...

Hi Tim Is the programme currently listed on this page? BBC - Radio 4 - Listen Again page I've had success in the past (several years ago) with RMrecorder, a quick search shows RMrecorder has been integrated into wmrecorder. RM Recorder - Record Real(tm) Streaming Video and Audio It records up...

in that case your first post doesn't make sense. it sounds to me like you were trading ftse index on cmc and could have made 700 ticks on a 2 pound bet if you hadn't panicked. I must have missed the crash! Was it between 10:15 and 10:45? i went to breakfast....

hahaha evil the best trade i ever did in oil was buy my dollars back at 2.0950. I'm so glad it's gone

that's pretty unlucky, you're purely betting on the direction, buying and selling is a way of getting your size on and off. It doesn't matter if you go long or short when spread betting, nor does it matter in futures. I remember trying to get my head round this... Finally, the ftse range today...

In my experience, the most widely understood term for a trader, who is trading their own account, is "fund manager". If someone then asks "who do you work for?" you can elaborate by telling them you trade your own fund.
