sorry to keep asking dim questions!

I now have a CMC account (& sub - account)

What is the difference between a 31 March 2004 (M) and a 31 MArch 2004 (Q)

?????

This is GBP to USD

hilary - 20 Jan 2004 16:20 - 157 of 11056

No idea, Sue, as I don't use CMC. The March IMM contracts are $6.25 BPH4 and they expire on 15/4/03.

tried a small short on the cable @181.69, but got stopped out
@182.03 - of course it immediately came back down
todays rise is 3.5 cents - unbelievable

hilary - 20 Jan 2004 16:43 - 159 of 11056

It's in vertical mode now, Beeble. When I entered the positions, it was my intention to pyramid them and instead I came out. Muppet.

I'm happy with my lot for the day, but I'll just have to be patient and wait for an entry to get back in now I suppose. Hohumm.

Beeblebrox - 20 Jan 2004 16:48 - 160 of 11056

me too - dont think we'll see 178.30 again for a while though,
and tiddly dee !

Maggot - 20 Jan 2004 17:03 - 161 of 11056

Sue. I think I've solved it. If you ask for a price on the (M) bet it shows N/A, which you would expect as I wouldn't have thought it would be available until March 1. But the Mar (Q) bet does show a price.

Sue 42 - 20 Jan 2004 17:10 - 162 of 11056

maggot thanks

Do you have a view on dclinton's post about arbitrage?

Sue 42 - 20 Jan 2004 17:12 - 163 of 11056

maggot - I get a price for all the bets in sort of light grey. I think I'll ring & ask.

dclinton - 20 Jan 2004 20:48 - 164 of 11056

Sue - the (M) are monthly futures and (Q) are quarterly. However, I've yet to figure out exactly what underlying market these futures are actually tracking.

hilary - 21 Jan 2004 11:56 - 165 of 11056

The rising support line on the EUR/ and GBP/USD crosses looks like it might be coming under a bit of pressure.

Beeblebrox - 21 Jan 2004 12:37 - 166 of 11056

I'm listening Hilary
no trades today as have 5 positions open
on ftse, and us males have trouble multi-tasking
back to 182.00ish in my money, but with failing to find the top yesterday....
lol

hilary - 21 Jan 2004 12:49 - 167 of 11056

Can't you do cooking, dishes and ironing as well, Beeble?

:o)

Support line on the Euro looks to have been breached and the GBP looks like it might follow suit shortly. Hopefully, as I've gone short.

MightyMicro - 21 Jan 2004 14:26 - 168 of 11056

Hils (off-topic): you coming to the traders' day?

Beeblebrox - 21 Jan 2004 14:53 - 169 of 11056

mm; Dont think she's coming, but may send the legs

hilary - 21 Jan 2004 15:07 - 170 of 11056

I'd love to come, boys, but I'm already booked in for a pedicure on that day.

:o)

Seriously, don't think I'll be able to make it ....... my son's the school goalie and he's playing a match that day.

Beeblebrox - 21 Jan 2004 15:12 - 171 of 11056

didnt quite get the correction back to 182.00 i expected,
bit directionless atm, like the dow,
you still short hilly baby ?

Spaceman - 21 Jan 2004 15:13 - 172 of 11056

hilary, first time I have visited this thread, congratulations on the header post, its a model of clarity and useful information.

I will be back.

hilary - 21 Jan 2004 15:20 - 173 of 11056

Beeb,

I got stopped on my GBP, but hanging in there with the EUR.

I'm a bit torn on the 12560 spot level. It seems to have been key support over the last 5 days.

Sue 42 - 22 Jan 2004 08:29 - 174 of 11056

Dollar weakening again - just went short & scalped a few.

dclinton - 22 Jan 2004 09:06 - 175 of 11056

Sue - sent you a message. Also updated my profile to contain my email address.
