I mentioned the Yen yesterday which looked to be turning on the hourlies. Gopher off a ton overnight.

:o)

Maggot - 23 Feb 2006 09:06 - 4863 of 11056

It did as well! Assuming you meant /yen.

Hilary - I met the chap in Tenerife who is interested in trading forex, and we went through the links you mentioned and he wrote down 3 to go to for info. He is in fact inexperienced but seems pretty sensible - time will tell! Thanks for your help and comments.

Having trouble with the FXCM site and the video tutorial - all down to my lack of computer knowledge with Quicktime and plug-ins etc. I can't answer the questions they want to know about my computer - all I know is that it's black. However, reinforcements are on their way!

hilary - 23 Feb 2006 09:10 - 4864 of 11056

Therein obviously lieth the problem, Maggot. My computer's silver and it works a treat.

Hi all....just an update on DMA for BPH6 have added it to my IB account and they
charge 3.50 a round turn so giving it a try. I know i'll get the price on the book now, no more requotes.

Gausie - 23 Feb 2006 14:29 - 4877 of 11056

see u on the book :0)

Cloudbase - 23 Feb 2006 14:43 - 4878 of 11056

Gausie....lol, as long as its not the opposite side. Spred only 1 most of the time.

hilary - 23 Feb 2006 15:24 - 4879 of 11056

David Walton speaking at 18:30. Not on the calendar.

Gausie - 23 Feb 2006 20:21 - 4880 of 11056

Cloud - thats why I trade it!

Spread is usually either 1 or 2. Cost of round trip is way cheaper than any FX deal I've been able to negotiate.

Reference price varies according to how far into the contract you are. Currently it trades at between 2 and 2.5 points above the forex rate. Any more or less and you get an opportunity for a free arb!

I'm expecting to sell my business within the next 3 months, and then intend to become a full time futs trader.

Practicing at the moment, at least 2 hours a day with sensible targets, small stakes (maximum exposure 10 contracts), proper accounts/bookeeping and with all due discipline.

Been trading BPH6 every day for the last week now. Four winning days and one loser. The four winning days each returned a profit of between 4.1% of pot and 12.6% (yesterday). Losing day cost me 1.82%.

Cloudbase - 23 Feb 2006 21:54 - 4881 of 11056

Gausie.......nice trading, if you can keep that up you've cracked it.

Sound like you are i the same boat as i was 3yrs ago, closed my business and just
working part time now to relieve the stress of trading.

Its taken me nearly 5yrs, all told, to crack this trading lark but fairly confident now.
As my main trading is Mini Dow(YM) and E- mini S&P (ES) the currencies fit
nicely into morning trading and hopefully help to build the pot.

Are you going to set up business outside UK? will understand if you don't want to answer that on here.

Back to the BPH6, nice pennant on the hourly to keep an eye on.
