Still had the long from last night - been mucking about with stops inbetween crashes, added at 18680 this morning...which is where I finally managed to reverse on the dive. :S

Maggot - 21 Jan 2005 10:47 - 2898 of 11056

Does anyone else have a problem with canbcelling stops with cmc? It often takes so long that the price has moved quite a lot.

jeffmack - 21 Jan 2005 10:57 - 2899 of 11056

maggot
variable, sometimes it can hang for a while. Isn't rule number 4 never change your stops

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 11:01 - 2900 of 11056

magg ive had same somtimes.....ive had 30 sec fills 2 sec fills,would it surprise you if i told you i was taken off the auto fill systm ages ago..
so i adapt my trading accordingly... once you whack them a few times for a bit of dough,you get taken off and filled by dealer....

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 11:03 - 2901 of 11056

ive squared up all my stuff sld all my s+p @ 77.7 now flat ...going to wait for..states to come in..

Maggot - 21 Jan 2005 11:06 - 2902 of 11056

mostrader. Does that mean you always have to 'phone in to trade?

Jeffmack - Never heard of rule No 4! Usually it's to close, unless it's to bring a stop down to breakeven.

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 11:11 - 2903 of 11056

nope ill trade online but tickets get held for abt 30 secs..which isnt always helpful,but if iam trading stocks,i,e BARC,ill be in 100 quid a tic so ill phone thru.other wise they dick around with the price then use a take profit to get out of it..

davspeed - 21 Jan 2005 11:37 - 2904 of 11056

I think I read somewhere that all stop cancelations with CMC are done manualy

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 11:42 - 2905 of 11056

not sure dav,i think they are auto...but once hit be it proift or stop it goes blue and u cant cancel, fx much better handled than stocks..

davspeed - 21 Jan 2005 11:48 - 2906 of 11056

mos one of the main reasons I only trade fx is because I got fed up being requoted on stocks but it has turned out to my advantage as since I started only trading fx I have been doing far better

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 11:49 - 2907 of 11056

yep dav know where u coming from.not sure if u use cmc,but ive no real probs with them they where a pure fx co to start with and its been them who have driven the spreaddown to our advantage,if it wernt for them all the others wud prob quote 10 itcs on all the majors....

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 11:52 - 2908 of 11056

chf breaking up got out to early


one thing to watch is the hedge funds,about 3/3.30 each fri there black box sytems get to work and normally they will trade in the way the market has been trending the previous few days..it does happen...just be aware of it...

Maggot - 21 Jan 2005 11:55 - 2909 of 11056

Stopped out of Cable short at 57. I'm not very good at this.

davspeed - 21 Jan 2005 11:56 - 2910 of 11056

I only use cmc as apart from long term investment I only spread bet for my short term trading. As I work full time I think I already pay enough tax so when I make money spread betting it feels good to know that the profit is tax free.
