ha ha ha!
Well, if you're not long any more, it must be time to short it, right?

 

[Bloodhound]

can somebody please explain to me how i get oil and gold chart up on IG please?

Hi Wallstreet,

On a serious note, if you are starting to use IG for charting make sure you check their prices against CMC's if you are going to still use CMC for trading. The reason I say this is that I use IG, but also Finspreads and there can sometimes be some discrepencies on pricing - especially out of market hours. One evening last wek I think there was 20 points difference on the FTSE.

Am long again as it's through the centre of today's IB - just an experiment....

thank you but still not working?

 

[wrobinson]

That sounds odd, perhaps it's time for a phone call to IG then; they're usually pretty helpful.

why do you have such small stop losses?

 

[Bloodhound]

why do you have such small stop losses?

Old habit that I sometimes forget to rectify. That trade was based on a set-up where it's blown if the price pulls back through the spike of the candle. The stop works fine unless the market is a bit choppy, then I get stopped out - like tonight!!

Not a great day's trading today.....
