Yup - that'll be me. This is the third day in a row I've got to the £50k mark and I've blown my account and had to reset on the previous two. Will it be three in a row? I'll have to avoid this at all costs if I'm to stand any chance of getting a daily prize.

2.30 - 3.00 the rallys coming and its gonna be a big one
lol dilesh I like what you are trying to do there.
You know as well as I do that this is going to tank.
This could be a great shout, not so sure about the post afterwards though!
Have ETX twigged yet that most of the active players are from this forum?
take a peek at todays diary entry.

ive got more tricks up my sleeve aswell
lol yeah I know what you are trying...I speak to Viz.
Cable looks like a cracking short sell here.
Rally/tank right now i have no idea, but it's gonna be bloody volatile.
I've just been stopped out and dropped right down the leaderboard.
at 9.30 this morning, I should have just quit with 135k or followed Option's strategy.
I'm blaming Tim - 1) for listenening to him say this is going to drop right off when I was short £1000 FTSE and then 2) following steps 2/3 of his strategy.
Tim - you and Ego vs The Goose and Dante (Gooseman is someone else)
Losers buy the drinks!
I am short the FTSE, happy with the direction but with tight stops the pullback has just halved my position. Damn. Dropped too.
Still in it, but it will take a lot more work now...
Doing it my way now, back above Tim!!

Yes, that's why he has mentioned it in his diary
Does it make any difference?
Where are you now anyway? Don't see you on the leaderboard

Oops - sorry about that Ian. I know you're new around here; didn't anyone tell you the first rule of the forum?
T2W forum rule #1:
Don't listen to anyone with a 'T2W advisor' label as they talk total borrocks most of the time. All of the time in my case. Actually, DAX has tanked - I was just a little out in my timing that's all.
I may be trading recklessly but I know my limits and there's no way I'm in your ballpark or Tom's. Ego is an unknown quantity so maybe he'd be able to carry our team. Whatever, I'd be delighted to meet both you gentlemen and equally delighted to buy you drinks. Is South Devon any good for you?
Tim.
I agree with options I am totally new to spread beating. so didn't expect to beat the broker but quite happy ending with more of the original 20000, which I had accomplished so far. still without the graphs is quiet hard. does anybody know how good is their platform for real, and also have heard quite good things about the CMC's one but do not know it either.

Okay, who's going to sell the DAX when it breaks support at 4200?

I'd be up for a road trip. Get the top down. Brisk cold air in your face. Blows the cobwebs away. Goose you up for it?
Whats the night life like?
