Just a quick question.. I've been trading on a demo for a few months and been doing ok on small size (1 or 2 lots)..I am making roughly around 2 grand a month..should I start applying for prop houses or stick to spread betting?

id start a thread to get the question answered properly,my take is learn the hard way,dont pay anyone,its not a simple as that,if it was wed all do it. Demo is totally different from live, try in a live account for smallstakes(micro lots)

Interesting, sounds a bit like how I trade.

yeah i understand demo is different to trading with your own or somebody elses money. Thanks for the info though. im leaning towards spread betting rather than paying desk cost etc.

rest off measly +4, dont want to be exposed to EURUSD sell off

 

[Lord Flasheart]

may have to re enter cad trade,often happens like this.Problem is that if the next trade then goes wrong,ive had two winners,1 losers and will be behind, but i will keep shorting below the line.Cad made good money for me last week

really dont see value in taking that 1/2 off

 

[Lord Flasheart]

looks like migs level held good on eur/usd.hopefully it will start to rise now, helping my cad trade

ex-post neither do i, but then again i don;t really subscribe in the Stop to B/E thought process.

i tend to exit a trade if i feel i wouldn't repeat the trade at the current level.
i.e. if i wouldnt put the same position on at this level, why should i keep it

sure fair enough,it was the 4 pips i was more asking about, I rarely get out of trades if they start to go wrong,maybe i should look at it though
