hey flashy. i notice you been a member since 2004, 10 years in the game for you, that's a long time mate, good effort. can I ask how many years it took you to become profitable? pm if dont want to share on the board.
Nothing to hide mate,Im ahead most of the time now. Prior to that lost a shed load. I would work hard and save up and then trade full time run out of cash. I say run out of cash because most of the last several years ive been ahead from trading but it never made enough to cover the bills etc. I started with 5k In 1998 and assumed I could make £100k a year from it. Its one thing to make money trading,but to run it as a successful business is very hard. Im sure there are many profitable traders who have learnt to trade well but have ran out of cash.Nowadays Im pretty much full time but have another small business that covers most of what we need(the wife mainly runs it)
Whats your story?

Exactly break-even day after all that!
I missed 2 trades that would have been crackers.
Them's the breaks.

shirly that's the top now. I am waiting for the 15m candle to close as I have already been caught thrice by it today. cable strength has defied gravity this afternoon.

I don't know CM - this sucker may go up and up... it seems like one of the biggest buyers (or the biggest) is behind it
Added: it depends what level they want - shouldn't be problem to 195 imo

out here at 1.3005 for +15
Not great trading today, but that trade once again puts me positive on the day (at +15).
That's definitely it for today now!

Morning guys
Cant see much about,still smarting about my cable trade yesterday,that .3 of a pip probably cost me 150 pips. Whats worse is that im sure with some companies it wouldnt have got to that price.Oh well onwards and upwards,somtimes they go your way,sometimes they dont
Good luck
