He's still got the skills to pay the bills.
"Sorry but i do have to say that my S&R levels reading on this trade was unbelieveably point-perfect!
I short sold at 88.03, saw maximum 1tick against me as the high was 88.04,
then fell instantly into 50ticks profit.
And my after-spread price target of 86.65 (which needed oil to hit 86.60) was a 2-tick perfect exit,
as the low of the day was 86.58.
This trade was at £2.5 per point, so 2.5 x 138ticks = £345 net profit overnight for this trade"
Spanish on looting:
''I seriously seriously did want 2 pop down to that side of London and just loot as much as possible.
I was going to take (or loot) 4 huge suitcases, and just quikcly fill them up with as many non-traceable high price electronics as could fit inside,
and then exit the area fast, instantly blending into the rest of London once i got on the train as i would simply look like a tourist with my suitcases...

And he's found a loophole in ETX's platform:
"Am feeling EXTREMELY angry currently,
as i saw that Motorola Mobility Holdings had risen nearly 60% in pre-market trading to around $40.00,
however as the market doesn't open for trading through EtxCapital till 2:30pm (and the last price they were quoting was friday's close of $24.50)....
So i had placed a £5 per point buy order to be triggered at $24.73,
hoping that it would get filled within the few seconds between market opening and then gapping up!
The market opened, and for the 1st 11seconds was displaying the price as just $24.50,
but yet my order failed to be triggered!!
I got automated-email just now saying that the reason it failed to trigger was due to insufficient funds in my account (as since i didn't manually enter a stoploss for this trade,
it based it on the maximum margin requirement!!!
So i just missed out on £6,000 profit!!!!!!!!!!!
L:
edit: I just phoned them up and the lady confirmed that that buy-price had been tradeable!!! :'("
