I still have the shirt on my back and it's lovely, crispy and white...

Ok thanks Leemo...my gut instinct says tomorrow will be bearish until a decision is made, but we shall see what tomorrow brings :whistling

Sorry to ask a really silly question, but please be patient as I'm very new to trading! Will the bulls be out again tomorrow or will it now be bearish until a decision is made?

Hi, just a little update for you all as you have all been very supportive with great advice. I reassessed my trading plan, have now learnt more about charts and support/resistance levels etc.and can now say that I am trading with no worries or concerns. I have now almost clawed back all the...

Thank you so much Alexa, you have been really helpful...I will definitely be downloading the PDF:cheesy::smart: Also very good advice about avoiding the first half hour or so of trading, I will do that on Monday, let the market settle a bit and see where it is trying to go. Have a good weekend.

But I can be a crybaby on the first day surely?!! :cry::cheesy::cheesy:

Brilliant, great way of looking at it, thank you :D

Good advice from you all, thank you. I have taken it all on board and will start again on Tuesday with a different attitude. Although I may go back to my demo account on Tuesday and see if I can get my confidence back and try a new strategy that I have been thinking about.

Thank you for your response :-) Maybe I am trying to achieve too much? I really enjoy trading, it's not something I thought I could ever get my head around so it's a sense of achievement, but obviously if I lose my money I've failed! I am a full time mum and my motivation is to be able to...
