Re: Wallstreet1928 Analysis & live calls on FTSE,DAX,S&P...aimed to help New traders hello all, I am a regular on wallstreet1928's forum and it has helped me so much. From becoming a losing trader to now a winning trader. Mr TRADERNEW unfortunately has tried to work his/her ways on me and...

Thanks guys, Just out of interest, is there anywhere I can get a list of upcoming news that would concern the FTSE. Just a point in the right direction would be very beneficial. Many thanks, Dean

Hi all, Just a quick question. Yesterday the FTSE decided to fall relatively rapidly at 15.15 and again at 16.00. If I learnt (and obviously got access to) Level II information or a real news feed rather than the one from IG, would this have helped determining whether this was going to happen...

Thanks for all your thoughts. Have now definitely decided that I will be pursuing SB in the short term and see how I get on. Cheers again, Dean

Thanks. I did think that earlier but really couldn't be bothered to change it, that is if you can. Good one though!

:cheesy: I love it. Keep 'em coming.

Cheers Jack, Very appropriate me thinks. However, I still would!!

Sorry, but have now posted 20 items and thought if I am going to be talking on here, I need some sort of fun aspect and would ask this question. Anyway, just reading the sun online and they used to call her big boobs mcgee and wondered if you would?

I was thinking though last week, am I right in saying that in the current ecomonic climate, I would be better off selling as to buying because (given I would not use limits) it seems that any market can go down more sharply than it go up? It just seems to make sense.

Honestly mate, its fine. I have always found advice good now matter whether its good or bad, I just use it and get on with it, your'e right you cant learn any other way.

Cheers Counter violent you fill me with such optimism.:thumbsup: But like I said prior, I have to experience these things Stories, Others losses, Myths Fables or whatever, as long as I am aware of them then I can at least have no other excuse than to blame myself.

Thanks Jack, To be fair, I am really tempted to do the same. SB does have its benefits for newbies like the limited risk and guaranteed stops account on IG which they have just reduced their spred on to 1 point. So it seems like a lot of sense to go that way and then SHOULD I be any good then...

Well what can I say, I think I have picked a good month to start pretend trading, certainly experieced a lot. Especially with standard up down days, insta-falls as I like to call them, plus llots of other funny tricks that it likes to play with opening of the US market, current news, UK opening...

Please dont start a SB vs whatever thread please. I have read 2 of them today, both approx 20 pages long and its not fun and everyone has the same poxy argument. I did originally only ask whether anyone actually spreadbets for a living. Sorry. BTW whats happening now in the ftse 20 pts in 5...

Thanks Pboyles. I hate trading in my office, no TV, no live news feed. But then am trading with tradefair and IG charts and news. At least I have Bloomberg/CNBC at home!
