Hi, I'm interested in a short term stay. I've PM'd and emailed you, if it's still available then pls get back to me. Cheers.

Chin up mate, you are a quick study. 1k wasn't enough, so 700-odd is still not enough. That's a plus. You were shooting for 10X initial, now are shooting for 15X. If you are good enough to get 10X, then you'll be good enough to get the rest. I still disagree with this challenge (seems a waste...

Thanks, I'd seen that page, but was hoping there was a more favourable deal for active traders. I'm glad you replied. Cheers....Are you watching the rugby? I'm going to have to download the game on torrent, so will watch it tomorrow. Hope it's a pasting-French have 11 new caps in starting...

To finish off the week I made 850$, about 3 points on ER. One mistake in the middle of averaging down, otherwise ok trades. Yawn.

A question for Interactive Brokers (or anyone else who knows): I trade ER/DAX and a few other markets on occasion. What is the day-trading intra-day IM (initial margin) for those two products? The broker I am with gives me 500US$ for ER and 1000 Euro for the DAX. Still, I would be interested...

Here is the page with intraday margins listed on the left (not holding outside daily trading hours, not overnight (those are the larger amounts on the right)). http://www.globalfutures.com/margins/margins.asp# There is no spread-you buy the offer or if you're lucky and the bid is oscillating...

I am disappointed at the lack of responses on this board, and I will try a few more posts before making a decision whether to cut my losses here. Yesterday I made 810$ on the ER, mainly through fewer losses, less averaging down, and better entries/understanding. On Tuesday I noticed that I...

Hi, Just a quick note to say that you are correct in your analytical approach, but I still feel the best way to make money considering your small account size, is to have leverage and follow short-term trends. This is trading, not investing. All I can say about the news is: beware, it's not...

Good luck to you on this. Personally, I'd advise you: 1. Open an account with a US broker...e.g Global Futures, and for your 1000 pounds you'd get more leverage (BUND= 500 US$ IM) 2. Avoid news, it's too risky and like gambling 3. Focus on the 3-5 minute chart, since BUND trends nicely. You can...

stops For my first question, I'd like to ask opinions on where I should place stops. I traded the ER last week, and on a sample day had 45 trades: -entry was 2 contracts per trade -38 were profits -take home profit was 250$ My difficulty lay in the size of losses: **twice stopped out at 14...

This journal will show some of my progress towards trading success, and help me on the way whenver I need some help. I'd be very grateful if you can keep the flaming or spam off this thread, and be friendly. Cheers.
