Had done pretty well this week and was all set to cap it off with a nice end to the week... Then the delivery man turned up unexpectedly with some new equipment which took me soooo long to get set up, by this time I was really pissed off and was itching to make that final cherry-on-on-the-top...

Hi Frugi, Wrote a fairly long post earlier but it hasn't appeared (servers seem a bit slow as well) anyway the gist of it was that I started trading the YM this week. Despite what I said about scalping, I've been trading for 10pts+ (pinching ?) and just one contract (mostly :) ), scalping...

Frugi, I did think you were a scalper in the truest sense (now Chrimbo is out of the way I can slow down a bit and actually read the posts properly !) but it doesn't matter, any info on short-term trading (targets, stops, etc.) is informative and much appreciated. Scalping is my way of...

Frugi, apologies, looking back at the above post it didn't come across quite as I intended. It looks a bit abrupt but wasn't meant to be and there was no hidden intent either. In fact even the question was not really the one I needed to ask. :o What I'm really looking for is some guidance on...

Frugi hi, Don't have enough hours in my day at the moment so to save me reading the whole thread could you give me an approximation of your average daily scalp ?

Trader your name reminds me of del and rodney, Trotters Independant Traders ! But seriously, take your time is great advice, read as much as you can and try and learn from others mistakes (theres plenty of 'em). It's easy to see a nice set-up developing and see it pan out exactly as you...

Just like to add my tuppence worth. Tried spread-betting for a relatively short period and will not be going back to it. Joined with IG Index and started off really well then things started to get a bit suspect. Locked out when trying to close large points gains (especially positions held...

Kevin, not absolutely sure, but believe the bundled subscription includes regulatory and exchange fees. For unbundled you may have to pay these separately and/or obtain relevant exchange membership. Open to be corrected if I've misunderstood this.

I thought I was the only one ;)

jtrader, found this in the help file. Tick-based Bar Charts A tick-based bar chart is different from a time-based bar chart in that rather than plotting prices during a particular time period, a tick chart plots the price of each transaction, regardless of what time it is. Tick-based charts...

Roberto, the second law does indeed refer to entropy, but the first law refers to the fact that matter cannot be created or destroyed, which is one of the points TV made, using it as an anology for the money system, bizarrely. Also have a look at this, quite interesting...

cd173, check that the workgroup name for both pc's is the same, if no joy try referencing the computer by IP address instead of name, thirdly check firewall settings. Good luck.

hmmm, the first law of thermodynamics. Damn hadn't thought about that ! I'll put it into my trading simulator (a monkey with a dart). Get over yourself TV. All your proving in all these rambling posts is: a) How truly desperate you are for cash and b) How slim your grip on reality is. Got...

I wasn't going to post to you anymore but I just can't resist..... Vector, I've read some twaddle in my time but this takes the biscuit ! Were you laughing as you wrote it ? I was as I read it. By trade no. 150 you'll be the richest man in the world. By 200 you'll have governments begging you...

Tradevector, Actually no, I wasn't paying attention. I am extremely busy at the moment and had not even noticed the 'weekly parameters & test trades' thread. I assumed (wrongly) that you would tell readers of this thread that you had actually started another thread with the trades on it...
