OK, I missed a few pips again because of moving my SL.
Now decided to increase stake to £2.40.

New trade:

Sell £2.40 S&P500 @ 1358.2, SL 1373.2

Open P/L: +£0.24

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Trade update:

There was no P/L realised overnight. I find it strange as last time when there was no price movement I had an entry in account history of £0.00. This time - nothing at all.

Anyway, opening price still 1358.2.
Unrealised P/L: +£0.24.
Account balance: £692.23 (financing -£0.16).

Weird stuff.
I just noticed that "daily change" for S&P on finspreads is coming up as +44.4 ????

Also, etxcapital is showing daily rolling S&P as 1357 (same as worldspreads and capitalspreads) whereas it's 1358 as finspreads. Not a big difference, but I've seen this before.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Open P/L -£2.88
9 pm trade will be DOWN.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

-£10.08 at the mo. Will just keep this trade open over weekend, adjusting SL.
