FTSE 100 intraday trading - JULY 2003

[bonsai]

understand Ghost dog
I agree about the pressure. It is important to be relaxed.
don't worry about the profile, don't think mine gives too much
away either . LOL

but it is nice to know whether you are a 'novice' as you put it
or an experienced scalper or whatever.

I think there are plenty of novices on this board so you are
not alone. Hope you pick up lots of interesting tit-bits on this thread.

best of luck.

 

[bonsai]

first tit-bit ?

imo, 'novices' should not trade futures !
learning at £10 per point can be very expensive.
some learn quicker than others and there is a lot to learn !

use a spread account like cmc or fins and trade well within
your comfort zone at say £1 per point. Store every trade in a
spreadsheet and graph your equity line. Only increase your
stakes when you see it consistently rising and you want to.

Thanks Bonsai.

Those spikes have really screwed up my charts. Leaving it until some kind of order becomes visible.

barjon, it is a hoax virus maybe. this site tells you how to reinstate the file.

whenever you get a virus warning allways check this site in case its a wind up.

trying a long from 08
effective stop will be the gain line

Went long at 07. MACD going the right way and according to Yahoo charts a useful increase in volume.

happens sometimes

if you really get stuck you can follow prices on
http://www.uk.cmcplc.com/spreadbet/index.asp
and then use the phone.

or have a second account with say fins.

Lambchomps,
d4f has crashed twice on me in the last 7 days and has had a couple momentary freezes. I've been using them for just over a year and It's not usualy as bad as that.
