Attaching account movements. In two words: bad week...
Let's hope that the next one will be better. Otherwise, stake will be reduced to £1.00

This should relax me a bit (at least, it won't be another losing trade...)

Can I ask who your account is with?

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Hello, it's still finspreads. I am happy with them because of really small stakes allowed on S&P. I also like the fact that they are not intrusive, but do send me occasionally a quite nice, informative email, e.g. about stops.

Thing I don't like is the overnight profit/loss realisation which adds a bit of unnecessary complexity to my profit/loss calculations.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

I've changed my SL back to 1360.4. I think my previous change was premature (outside of S&P trading hours). I am expecting US to push to close the gap and don't want to be accidentally stopped out.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

By the way, 9 pm trade looks like UP, but it still depends on how S&P will act today.

I will be quite busy in the evening, because of the Liverpool - Spurs game. Nevertheless, I will try to enter new trade as usual.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

SL changed to 1345.0 again.
