Have 5 contracts on with BetonMarkets than cable does not touch either 1.775 1.720 or 1.722 all due to close tonight and tomorrow :-)))

Mega...

Harlosh - 28 Feb 2006 11:23 - 4894 of 11056

I hope my short falls only to 723 then Mega.

chocolat - 28 Feb 2006 11:30 - 4895 of 11056

Good luck guys :)

Mega Bucks - 28 Feb 2006 11:33 - 4896 of 11056

choccie,its a no brainer really,its bang in the middle of either limits so as long as it does not tank or rise rapidly it will be a nice little earner so they say :-)

Harlosh - 28 Feb 2006 11:42 - 4897 of 11056

My short is looking shaky

chocolat - 28 Feb 2006 11:58 - 4898 of 11056

Fwiw I can't see it going much lower than 1.7370 for a while yet.
And I'll stick to longs for now.

Harlosh - 28 Feb 2006 14:07 - 4899 of 11056

Covered cable -16

hilary - 28 Feb 2006 14:12 - 4900 of 11056

The greenback is weak across the board today because of fallout from the Dubai Ports/P & O deal.

goforit - 28 Feb 2006 14:32 - 4901 of 11056

hard luck harlosh

chocolat - 28 Feb 2006 15:00 - 4902 of 11056

Long 1.7463

oops and 65 but will tip out if it doesn't look to break 1.75

hilary - 28 Feb 2006 15:41 - 4903 of 11056

Cracking entry, Chocs.

goforit - 28 Feb 2006 15:54 - 4904 of 11056

the entry yesterday wasn't bad either!

Maggot - 28 Feb 2006 17:18 - 4905 of 11056

Was concentrating on shares today, but wish I had traded Cable instead - still, managed 60 points on a quick couple of bets. Trouble is I don't bet big enough.

Harlosh - 28 Feb 2006 22:30 - 4906 of 11056

Goforit,

Thanks. I think it's always good to lose at your first attempt. It ensures one doesn't get carried away. Still got a lot to learn on Forex but been reading a bit and watching the charts trying to get a feel for them. Only using CMC at the moment so I can keep my mistakes to a minimum.

Todays effort was only small to relieve the boredom of all that studying. At some time or other you just have to get stuck in there and learn by your mistakes. Better to keep them small though.

Look forward to posting here more often and learning from our resident experts Hilary and Choc :-)) (Hopefully Hilary will stick around for a while to profer snippets of wisdom).

On an away day tomorrow so no trading til Thursday.

Good luck.

Harlosh - 28 Feb 2006 22:34 - 4907 of 11056

Where from here?

chocolat - 28 Feb 2006 23:03 - 4908 of 11056

Aha - couldn't get on the thread before.
Glad it wasn't too bad, Harlosh. Certainly would like to learn about p+f - but you already know that ;)
Closed out again when I got home for a couple more round numbers.
I'll try and put up a chart later if I haven't conked out.

Harlosh - 28 Feb 2006 23:24 - 4909 of 11056

Well done Choc. Great trading today. Next time I'll check with you first :-))

Mega Bucks - 01 Mar 2006 08:40 - 4910 of 11056

added another bet that cable would not touch 1.728 in the next 7 days for 15% return :-)

Gausie - 01 Mar 2006 09:17 - 4911 of 11056

Mega

Why dont you just write options?

Mega Bucks - 01 Mar 2006 09:38 - 4912 of 11056

G,aint got a clue about options,it take me minutes to do a few checks on Meta Trader to fine tune it ie highs and lows over a certain period then place bet,but i try to place them so i get about 15% return over a 7 day period,i could increase the return to say 30-40% but that means i would not sleep at nights !!! It just suits my style of trading at the moment,no major screen watching,i also do the DAX S&P and DOW all the same (no touch) and my life style is a so much better for it :-)
