Hi Tony, I'm not running days as I used to do. Too busy with my own trading in my SIPP and another new business. I suspect there are meets still ongoing though :) Cheers Helen

My racing system is quiet at the moment too :) Too many meets abandoned. I've never used a Spreadbetting service for racing, I just use Betfair. What are the advantages of spread betting? Who do you use and why?

I've used Renko for ESTX50 and DAX in the past and I did like it. Like P&F it takes a lot of noise out of the price movements.

Hiya Neil, Yes he's around but not trading at the moment, all his energies in Sports Betting at the mo :) How are you?

Yes all well here and trading is fine, no long term effects from being stood up at the British Library!! You still owe me a coffee (or two!). I was going to ask about Mark, I guess he's not trading then?

Thank you :) In no need of an additional job at the moment :) I'm sure you are doing it just wonderfully!!

He's fine, busy with the Sports Trading stuff and not trading futures much, although he keeps saying he "intends" to start soon :) How are you?

PS Paul, I really don't like being a veteran!!

Just had a mad urge to pop back on here and see if there was anyone I "recognised" :) A few names like Splitlink and DbPhoenix I've seen already. In case you wondered I haven't given up trading, I''ve just been going through a "quiet" phase where I haven't really wanted to talk about it. I...

Hiya, I use candlesticks a lot in my UK stock swing trading and I tend to look at context of the candles rather than worrying too much about names etc. As you no doubt know you will very frequently get dojis at support/resistance levels because of the market "indecison" those levels represent...

If you can avoid the 10 points above you'll be fine :)

I think 6 points is much safer with ESTX, even if you are just holding trades for under an hour as I do. I did experiment with 4 but IMHO it's too tight. I used to run a website specifically for ESTX50 trading (eurostoxx50.co.uk but unfortunately I had to remove it because it breached the...
