Hello again Split
good trading by the way
Good post , and I will be treading carefully, very carefully in fact, so careful my broker will probably check after a month to see if I still want account
:lol:
I have not had draw down or a losing week of any size for quite some time, and last weeks doing very nice thank you but just at what I consider learner stakes, certainly not much more than weeks shopping money per winning trade.
I am sure you are correct Split, but would say different methods require different tools, I don"t for example no your method and do not no how much draw down you except in a trade before you call it a day and move onto the next etc. I concede that since moving out in time frame I don"t seem to experience as many problems.
An Example
I traded capital spreads Demo for 2 months method good , at even £10 per pt I could give up me day job no problem, and remember we both trade mornings. Went live and chart and platform problems the whole time
![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
went back to Demo problem went away
![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Tried again, the last time resulted in full 25 pt loss by time I got the platform up and running.
![Devil :devilish: :devilish:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I hardly ever realise a 25 pt loss its there hard to well account for the unexpected, Platform downs became the expected.
How much confidence in trading would you have under these conditions.:?:

when I had account with them they only let you log on if they were"t to busy, pay rolls day JOKE closed sign up at every quick bar, thats if you managed to Log on
I will let you no when I have had a look and paper traded at the real market for a bit you can"t get much safer than that IMO.
Confidence , well I for one would not trade at a meaningful amount with them over my preferred time frames , I have used most sbs while learning and any time I have increased stakes over say £5 per point its the same old story,
Crash - slow charts - disconnects etc The Slow charts or freezes are the worst, maybe I did scalp a little at 1st but once IMO you start
nailing the entry and making the trade a genuine low risk trade its a complete pain trying to trade with them, that's the way I see it and to be honest just don"t need the hassle any more.
MUST BE BAD LUCK FOR A WHOLE YEAR, or crap platforms who cares I for one am not trading at £10-30 per pt with the rubbish they offer.
For what its worth to anybody who wants to play them at any size , I would take Mr Rols advice and seek entry in the Hour charts and make that your Min time frame.
It is so bad, I considered stopping all together the jump up to IB broker is that big in my mind, tax free tax free tax free, good sales pitch.
If your in market at £10 per point and the charts stop or freeze, platform disconnects virtually every time I smell a rat and I am the slowest rat catcher there is :!:

I do use IG, and concede after man checked out pc, said no problems and changed a few things/settings, etc I have had no disconnects in 2 weeks. Service was good and tekky chapee seemed to have an interest in sorting problem. (3 trades only all winners Split) so fingers x,
