Hi chaps,
My first five days of trading with real cash have flown by and am excited to report that I lost 10 points on one day and gained 15 on each of the other 4..........so a 50 point gain! Unfortunately I've only been trading £2 a point with IG but better than a kick in the nuts.
I use a 10 point stop loss which worked has worked out perfectly so far though the 15 point limit looks too low as I could of had atleast 20 on each winning day............infact today I actually put a 20 point limit on rather than 15 but unlike normal, I was actually watching the live chart today and like a muppet I paniced and exited after 17 points and of course I could of left it and the 20 point limit would of executed nicely - bloody emotions.
It's so tempting to go for £10 a point now but I'm gonna resist that temptation and start with £5 as of monday.
Useless post I know - just excited and wanted to share my news :cheesy:
