Yes, that is the problem generally with demo accounts I think, that they do not have full-functionality. Doesn't mean they are useless; just something to be aware of.

Thursday 17th Sept 2009

Well the markets push up but my charts are telling me SHORT for end of week sell off so I'll go with the charts to see if I'm right ?

Opened a 2nd position (Avg price of the two) 5146

S&P500
1070.2

EUR/USD
1.4745

 

[JDTRADER]

First 35 minutes of the UK open and see the FTSE100 and S&P500 trying push down so I think my short is right once the bulls lose out watch the sell off come (I think lol)

 

[JDTRADER]

Bloomberg

U.S talk up the market but here in the UK broadcast in the morning say can the market sustain this rally. Us brits are a HALF GLASS EMPTY LOT

 

[JDTRADER]

Not much going on yet maybe some real movement at 9.30am Retail Sales results

 

[JDTRADER]

GBP/USD

If retails sales are down at 9.30am the Dollar could get stronger, got a Buy 1.6540 stop 1.6525

Oh sugar this is why I'm a newbie I got this right but my Pound v Dollar wrong

GDP cross USD pound gets weaker so I sell right not buy Doh!!!

Stopped out 1.6525 -£15

 

[JDTRADER]

GDP/USD

Prior to 9.30 Retail Sales Results the FX was trying to push up so after that hit the market I think a Buy to see if it will try to push up again ?

1.6514 stop 1.6500

 

[JDTRADER]

Just to add today I got no Limit stops in just Stop losses.

 

[JDTRADER]

S&P500
Down to 1067.8 +£24

Could close here but think it may fall further

If goes below 1067.0 this could be the sell off ?

Just went up to 1.6529+ but holding on I could of closed to regain that loss of £15 but it may hit 1.6550 and I will lock in limit at 1.6530 for a £1 profit lol

Lets see where it goes

 

[JDTRADER]

Question

Can you hedge GBP/USD with EUR/USD if one is rising in general is the other falling ?

 

[JDTRADER]

5am New York

Housing Prices talk of being held up artifically ?

Sorry guys my spelling is rubbish

 

[JDTRADER]

If goes below 1067.0 this could be the sell off ?

Just pushed up to 1068+ but 1067 the key for a sell off I can't see it rising above the days high today so I'll keep the short open

 

[JDTRADER]

Just to recap open positions

S&P500 SHORT
FTSE100 SHORT (2 open)
EUR/USD SHORT
GBP/USD LONG
RBS LONG
CADBURY SHORT
