at what point do you break out of this then, on pips or profit? any targets

 

[top trader]

it all depends on USA rescue news. if it comes out today it could go back to 6200 plus. if not it could go down further.

closed out for -510.

taking a pure gamble, long at 6007, tenner a point.

i know this isn't the right place to ask but I am spreadin' with IG and I find that after about 2 weeks after joining, i am finding that when i buy or sell the price seems to go 2 pips below or above depending on my move ... so it looks as tough they are making extra margins on my positions. any views or direction to another thread to discuss this in detail ...

 

[spreadbetit]

well done Top T!

Are you flat now, or are you still holding XTA ?

 

[top trader]

unfortunately still holding, nearly 1k down.

you mean they re-quote you ?
normally they give you at the price you pressed button at unless it is very volatile when you are trading.

 

[top trader]

DOW briefly in plus
