davspeed - 04 Feb 2005 14:35 - 3356 of 11056

Mos don't be to upset I was in the middle of a busy shift change over at work between 1:30 and 2 just got home to find its all over.

Roll on full time trading

mostrader - 04 Feb 2005 14:41 - 3357 of 11056

dav.yep more gutted i didnt set myself up for it..iam here all bliming day but was loading up s+p entrys etc ...but 30 tics still there...
plenty morec action to come friday 3 figs puls end of week squaring up wud not surprise me on stg if we tested week low`s 8770

jeffmack - 04 Feb 2005 16:21 - 3358 of 11056

mos, yes I use CMC. Will have to try that trick. I think you have said before, trading FX through CMC is sooooo different to trading shares. You dont get all those silly requotes and tickets get filled straight away.

Maggot - 04 Feb 2005 16:44 - 3359 of 11056

I deliberately didn't trade the spikes, as I didn't feel confident.

Question: If you set a limit price with cmc spreadbet to open on fx, surely on the sort of spike we had today it goes straight through the set price, doesn't it? Or does it still automatically open the bet even if that price is not specifically shown?

davspeed - 04 Feb 2005 17:03 - 3360 of 11056

Good question Maggot I don't normally use limits to open positions but have been stopped out when spikes have gone against me and they have always been on the price I set unlike when you get a jump in a stock and they give you the next closest price traded to your stop. This is only in my experience though others may have found different

mostrader - 04 Feb 2005 18:45 - 3361 of 11056

to be honest magg not that sure ive set stop entrys and always got them done as dav said they wud certainly stop you out..ive found them pretty good but on a massive 30 tic gap iam not 100 %.

mg - 04 Feb 2005 18:53 - 3362 of 11056

Well - what an afternoon you guys must have had. Arrived home to see my sell was triggered - and my buy - they cancelled each other out for a net +140 - must go and play Golf more often ;)

davspeed - 04 Feb 2005 18:56 - 3363 of 11056

Wow well done mg thats brilliant. Can we all come with you next time
