Wow! 3.5 grand in 24 hours and you're still trading shows your determination . The most I lost in a day has probably been around the 400 pound mark when I first started and it nearly gave me a heart attack , since then I have not lost more than 200 and in the last 6 months not more than £60...

Closed out my first trade at 2079.8 giving me a profit of £43.00 It was coming up near a resistance level of 2080-2082, the 1 min RSI went up past 70 then back through again and I took my small profit. It went to 2080.6 at its highest point in the trade and is now back around the 2075 mark. 99...

Hi Timsk, Great to hear your views and definitely not too harsh. When I say i'm not sure about risk management it doesn't mean I dont understand it and I do have a trading plan in place.With my stops all I mean is that sometimes I move my stop up behind my trade to lock in a profit and someimes...

Hi Tokyojoe. I know what you mean about the choppy trading thing and fully understand that the more I trade the more I lose on spread. I will only trade the chop if I feel the timing is good. I never trade during a news announcement and have a great breaking news app on my phone which has saved...

I trade the range but also try and anticipate a breakout if i can. I try to keep my stops quite open at the start and then will sometimes move them if RSI breaks through 30 on the one minute chart after two dips and my trade climbs. Then I will let it ride and wait to see if it starts to hit 70...

Here goes with my first trade then! All my trades are on the S and P 500. I have placed a buy trade of £10 at 2075.5 My stop loss is 2073.5 giving a risk of 2 pips. I have already moved my stop up a little , the reason being it bouced off 2074.7 and my RSI indicator came back up through the 30...

After months of tinkering with spread betting I have decided to start this thread to try and keep myself in line and stick to my trading plan. If I lose the lot then it's goodbye to spread betting; as much as I enjoy it i'm not going to continue if i'm crap at it! My aim is to trade 100 times...

Up and down a bit and then maybe sideways!:cheesy: Joking aside, I do reckon it's gonna drop off quite a bit after the last few weeks surge but maybe not all the way back to where it was before the climb. Lots of earnings reports coming up and with so many tensions around the globe at the...

I'm after that prize Mike. Have gone for 1994!

Surfing that wave down to 1994 please.

Have been trading the S and P all week and made 48 pips. Profit five out of five days. Thing is, if the chart does what I think it might do next then it's not good for a lot of shareholders. It's been in an uptrend but now it's broken to the downside. Not only that but even though oil has gone...

Hi all, I had a go at trading indicies last year, and after a great start, thinking it was too easy proceeded to turn my 1000 pound account into 50 quid. I think I may have made every mistake in the book. I then closed my account and vowed never to go near a Spread bet again. I started...
